“Visited for one specific painting, and were very impressed by the large variety of styles and pieces. Lovely store and friendly assistance. Can’t wait for our painting to be delivered!”
“I just was window shopping but actually found some things I had to have. Great variety. My daughter enjoyed the history an antique provides. Enjoyed my trip and the service. My daughter and I will be back.”
“This is one of my favorite hidden gems in Raleigh! Also one of the best vintage shops I’ve been to. It’s definitely one of my first stops when showing off my city to friends from out of town!”
“I have worked with David and his team at Pender's Antiques for over 25 years. His work is done the old fashioned way with no short cuts. Each piece he and his team work on is transformed. I highly recommend David with Pender's Antiques & Refinishing.”
“The best place in Raleigh to find incredible vintage and antique furniture and home decor. The owner’s taste is impeccable. I love how frequently the inventory changes. Every visit is inspiring.”
“Always clean, organized and friendly. Always feel welcomed right when I walk in. Bought my wife's engagement ring here from Donnie. Also repeat business from me. All around a great place to shop, hangout, chat a little and have fun.”
“The ReInspired Home was a fabulous experience. After making our first purchase this evening, we have already decided we need to stop in monthly. Beautiful and stylish pieces.”
“Cute little place. The best staff. My daughter really enjoyed the locket one of the smallest village helpers helped me pick out. We love this place and will come back.”
“I'm so glad to have found this place - entirely by accident! I needed to purchase some Annie Sloan chalk paint, and my usual place was closed Mondays, and this popped up on my search. It's very rustic and antiquey on the outside, but so charming and clean inside. Beautiful little booths filled with a variety of things, from textiles to art, children's games to furniture, soaps to primitive household decor, and more. But there's still more! In another building there's a second group of vendors, all with clean, uncluttered, interesting items to browse. I'll be back, for sure!”
“Such a wonderful store with amazing customer service! They have a unique selection of items that are all reasonably priced. It’s a great place to shop for gifts during the holiday season!! Plus, they went above and beyond to wrap the gift for us!I found a set of 6 drinking glasses for my father-in-law and the owner wrapped them all for us in a way that will keep them safe and beautiful as we transport them during the holidays!”
“What a great store. Went in just to browse and came out with 2 incredible shirts. I had no idea they carried clothing but excited to find they carry a brand my body LOVES!!! Julie is so sweet!”
“This is a hidden gem in the North Raleigh area located on Durant Rd. This place offers mini antique shops, candle store, pottery store, nursery, paint store, and Blacksmith shop. The atmosphere is fantastic, the owners of each store are very friendly and welcoming. The products offered are beautifully crafted, perfectly curated, and unique. The candle store even offers classes and the lady owner can also tell you about the history of the building. This place is really neat, different in a really good way. So I invite you to stop by and buy from local small businesses.”
“Honestly, it was really a good one. I was able to pick up some candy at about 10% of cost at the grocery. It was within the expiration date. I bought a 1980s starter jacket for really cheap. All the vendors were really nice. A lot of choices. It was wicked cold, but a ton of folks out.”
“I am not sure where to really start. What an absolutely amazing place! There furniture and decor inside this store is so super cool! If you are looking for some great furniture to tie the room together these people have you covered! I strongly recommend this place. They have very knowledgable staff there as well that will help you find just the right furniture for you.”

“This is a huge store with lots to see. Higher end items, unique genres and interesting books. Staff is helpful without being intrusive. Plan to spend time here.”
“An absolute treasure! So many beautiful pieces that truly stand the test of time and not just “junk grandma didn’t want anymore.” Prices are reasonable given the quality of each piece.”
“So this place is in an antique shop called Cheshire’s cat. We had a hard time finding it at first because there was no store front anywhere. Glad we found it! The entire antique shop was huge and super cool but this place was our favorites. Lots of vintage books, magazines, and more. If you like historical relics this place is for you!”

“I don't understand the folks who left reviews that had a bad experience because they "weren't greeted." It's marked down furniture store, so I don't expect to be waited on, but the woman working the counter was SO FRIENDLY and chatty!I didn't love the items, but there's a wide selection for a variety of tastes. Don't expect antiques, the furniture is all new stuff, appears to be overstock items.”
“Fun vintage store for that collectible item or kitchy must-have. They are my local go-to for retro Christmas items and replacement broken Shiny Brites. You'll enjoy the store's vibe and endless selection.”
“This is an alright thrift store but the selection is pretty limited and things can be pricy. Unfortunately they don't have much in terms of clothing, but they did have a good selection of jewelry which was also fairly priced. They were also really friendly here!”
“This place is pretty big but not too overwhelming. Good air circulation for a basement but still bring a mask or gloves if you have sensitive allergies. Prepare yourself for a myriad of different scenarios, chaotic spaces and well curated organized environments. Prices usually match the look of the space. These days the internet has made it possible for deals to be had and lost easily.”
“Sam is 50% craftsman, 50% artist and a 100% genuine and fair Southern gentleman. He repaired my wife’s favorite brass lamp that I thought was a goner. And he did it while we waited! A complete professional who clearly loves what he does. Not many people like that anymore. My highest recommendation. We will go nowhere else for our lighting needs. Thank you Sam.”
