Lillie K Traders, which popped up last week with a handsome redo of its 444 Warren Street facade, has just opened its doors; it’s selling stylishly contemporary Anglo Indian –style furniture, fabrics from India, and clothing hand picked from Italy. Owners Raj and Lillie Kumar, however, truly deserve a Golden Apple Award (or Bronze Whale …or whatever ) for also doing a lovely job with the interior of their building, particularly its original mosaic flooring, which Lillie says took some effort to clean up after uncovering under old carpet. –Scott Baldinger


Wow, looks gorgeous!
Beautiful! That is the old Bates and Anderson Funeral Parlor.
