In Short – Located in the heart of oh-so-hip Hillsboro Village, Carissa's is deceptively large. Dozens of armoires and wardrobes line the walls, but cramming the interior are scads of tables, chairs, bookcases, lamps, upholstered pieces, art, candles. Functionality rules, and the huge seelction of one-of-a-kind pieces have been remade to accommodate modern-day entertainment and computer systems. Styles and looks range from girlie hand-painted dressers to masculine, dark wood pieces.
