Such a gem! Always have to peek in when I’m nearby. High quality pieces at really reasonable prices.
Mid Century lovers will geek out over this new face on the vintage furniture scene. What started as a few garage sales for some side cash grew into a full-blown business for owners Jon Gorske and Kurt Niesman, who live above the store. Here, you'll find too many vintage gems to count, at prices that make great design attainable for everyone?like a fully functional Zenith record player console (just like Grandma's!) for $475, or green Kroehler armchairs: $650 for the pair! Make sure to stop by often?the floor is reset and refreshed with new inventory each week.
