Haven Maven owner Nancy Boone Muller describes the store as a “glorified garage sale.” Located in a second floor suite in the heart of downtown Excelsior (and only open Thursday through Saturday), Haven Maven specializes in gently used home décor: table decorations, lamps, wall décor and the occasional small end table or chair. “Our merchandise is hand-picked and high-quality,” Boone Muller says, “but with garage sale pricing.” Expect to pay less than $10 (cash only) for any item in the store. 436 2nd St. No. 204, Excelsior
