Beyond Grandma's House Vintage LLC is a large Chicago antique shop that offers a wide range of vintage items. The space feels like a retro adventure, with rooms that set scenes and feel like a Narnia atmosphere. Visitors can explore furniture, clothing, antique movie gear, records, toys, dinnerware, glassware, and barware. The layout is organized and the staff greet everyone with friendly, helpful conversation. Employees have great knowledge of the inventory and can explain the layout for newcomers. Prices are reasonable, and many items are negotiable, with the owner sometimes giving generous discounts on pieces such as a needlepoint pillow or a Murano glass purse. The shop is a good place to find solid wood antique or vintage pieces for a home, especially for MCM or Art Deco styles, though the price range can be high for larger items. Free coffee is offered on weekends, and easy listening jazz music plays under soothing lights. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a fun place to spend an afternoon hunting for treasures. The owner’s charm and the shop’s thoughtful selection make it a popular spot for both casual shoppers and serious collectors.
The vision of a place like this is AMAZING!! The collection and eclecticness of this place is amazing. Will continually come back!!!

Staff were very kind attentive and informative of items. Iced coffee available at store right when you walked in was perfect accompaniment to begin perusing the space as it was particularly hot outside
