Two years ago this past weekend, I was flying down to Houston with my husband Ryan to celebrate my brother's birthday. I got off the plane in Houston Hobby Airport, and I had 20 missed calls and one text message: Retro Den is for sale! My heart floated to my brain in a whoosh of disbelief and hope. I abandoned my husband for the bathroom and called Ashley Palmer saying, "This is the voice of a woman crazy enough to quit her job and buy a vintage furniture store."
