Just left after my first visit and the owner was so friendly and carried my finds out to my car for me! Got some eclectic old and new stuff for very good prices — so glad to have discovered this gem!

This is my favorite vintage furniture and home accessories store in Chicago! As an avid collector, I’ve scooped up some of my most prized pieces from my apocathary drawers, to vibrant art, my 1920s bead curtain & primitive table, chandelier…I can’t get enough!! I’ve also purchased the most functional and fabulous gifts for adolescents to my grandpa. Not to mention - Robert the owner has an impeccable eye, he curates a cohesive collection and he is an absolute gem!!

Robert was so eager to help me find exactly what I wanted. Found the perfect chair to go with an antique roll top desk. Such a neat store!

I am addicted to the unique rarities you can ONLY find in Chicago, at Hawthorne. Scooped up a set of wooden chairs, an awesome one of a kind yellow glass ornamental, a wooden ball made of sticks (amazing concept art), best of all - a large abstract knot made of metal (incredible). Amazing rustic + post modern major quality pieces available. Blown away by this place. Don't miss this gem.

What a great store! Robert has impeccable taste and a beautifully curated selection of vintage furniture, local art and gifts. And all of it reasonably priced. I was recently shopping for a large old work table to outfit my home office. He didn’t have exactly what I needed in the store BUT he tracked down just what I wanted and refurbished it beautifully. Remarkable customer service. Great looking, ever changing inventory. Really enjoy shopping there.

Robert’s shop is nothing less than DELIGHTFUL. I saw everything from Eames Herman Miller chairs, to gorgeous pieces of antique furniture, to unique items that could be totally personalized gifts. We came away relatively unscathed for our first trip there, with one unique furniture item, which he cleaned up and installed drawer liners into for us.Everything is hand picked by Robert himself. He’s got excellent taste. You can spend a lot of time here, salivating over the great finds.We’ve just moved to the neighborhood and I can see this being a regular stop!

Robert's collection is eye-catching from the street, and once you walk inside, his customer service is super inviting. We found some ideal pieces for our space, and his connections with local craftsmen/craftswomen provide some good variety between antiques and contemporary handmade gifts. It's a great place to spend some time on a weekend shop/wander.

Such a perfect place to find a hidden gem for your home! The pieces in the store are unique and stylish. Whether it’s a set of chairs for your living room, a lamp or end table for your bed room, or a cool storage solution for a guest room, you’ll find something here that just feels right. And Robert (the owner) is the best! Lucky to have this great shop in my neighborhood!

Robert has an amazing eye and knows what we want before we do! He found me an absolutely amazing bathroom cabinet that he lovingly restored. It has transformed my not-so-great bathroom into something really beautiful. And if you don't see what you are looking for he will hunt something down for you.
