1326 5th Avenue Ste 707 In the Skinner Building, Seattle“Was in need of something unique and specific today - Andrea was so incredibly helpful and understood exactly what I was looking for - she made it happen and then some; I am so thankful for her above and beyond customer service. Definitely recommend The Curious Nest!”
“What a wonderfully nostalgic shop!! Look in all the nooks and crannies for hidden treasures. This is a UNIQUE place to visit while in Seattle. Darold, the owner/manager is a treasure himself.”
“Absolutely fantastic to deal with. The shipping fee was well within what it should be, so no worries there. As to the packaging, in my case coming internationally, superb; safe and secure. If you are hesitant to deal with an auction house, don't be hesitant with these guys, perfect transaction from start to finish. In over 30 years of dealing with a multitude of auction houses, this was one of, if not the best and easiest. I sincerely hope I have more transaction with them.”
“I love exploring Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood. It has evolved over the years and there are pockets of some gentrification. It's always fun to check out the retail spots, cafes, and restaurants. I have my current faves on rotation, but it's great to discover a new spot. Housewright Gallery has been established since 2018, but this was my first visit (6/10/23).It's been awhile since I've done neighborhood art walks or visited specific art galleries or museums on a routine basis. I've only stopped to view installations in Belltown and First Hill this year. So it was great find to seek out specifically Housewright Gallery on S. Bailey, next door to Mezzanotte. It was a rainy Saturday and the neighborhood was setting up for two concurrent outdoor events. I was able to navigate the detours and found nearby street parking before the community festivities commenced.I wanted to check out Housewright Gallery's annual Pride Summer Salon, featuring mid century to current works from Northwest School artists and a collection of silver gelatin photographs taken by Kurt Timmermeister. I consider Kurt a modern day renaissance man. As mentioned earlier, this was my first visit to Housewright Gallery and did not know what to expect. I was warmly welcomed after I introduced myself and my intent to see Kurt's featured photos. It was great to view all the gallery artwork and photography up close, at a distance, and wander freely. I've been binging on my favorite Canadian interior design show segments, so it was a thrill seeing all the beautiful, carefully curated items throughout. I also gravitated to the furnishings, book collection, and Japanese ceramics. I enjoyed my visit and absolute admiration for the overall collection from the variety of artists and craftspeople.”
“I'm a personal sucker for curiosity shops. There is a never ending supply or new inventory to pick from- I always describe it as "a museum you can buy from." More affordably priced than mudlark oddities in Ravenna, with a larger selection as well. Perfect for the weird friend you can never shop for or as a first date spot :)”
“Awesome place. So many cool things to find. The store is huge so there's so much to look through and you can find all kinds of things here, clothes, books, furniture, art, jewelry, trinkets. Amazing place definitely recommend”
“What a find! A true antique lovers dream. Items of the highest quality - many we have never seen before in all our years of searching. Very fair pricing, wonderful owner and staff. A must see. We will definitely be back and truly can’t recommend highly enough.”

5200 4th Ave S, Seattle“In 2005 I did an complete kitchen remodel incorporating beautiful VG fir custom cabinetry. Over the past 18 years of use, the cabinets acquired their share of dings, water damaged finish, and scratches (fir is a soft wood). Davood did an incredible job restoring those imperfections in my cabinetry to look new again. I am thrilled. He is not only highly skilled, but fast! He completed the job on site, in less than a day. A total pro.”
“Amazing collection!! My sister and I visited the store and left with frames, cameo jewelry and wall decor. Great prices and very warm and friendly staff. 100% revisiting on my next trip to Seattle”
“Wonderful jeweler. Michael has been doing business in Seattle for years and is someone I trust with my jewelry. Absolutely recommend 100% … he is very professional jeweler and trustworthy person. My family has been going to him for over 30 years and we just adore him.”
10AM - 5PM
211 14th Ave, Seattle“Don't want to leave a bad review but wish this place stated they aren't open for walk ins anymore. Sorry to hear about the assault and break in, that's terrible. Just want to let people know before they drive out that they have to call ahead.Good luck.”
“Took a damaged silver coffeepot to get a repair estimate. We discussed what was involved and they were honest, and mentioned that since it was plated, the repair would cost more than its value and would only be for sentimental reasons. Lots of examples in their showroom of their fantastic work.”
“We have always had great customer service at Bell Occhio. Everyone who works there is incredibly experienced and kind. We keep going back and finding unique quality items to decorate our home. Thank You!”
“what a store. Vintage and antique paper items + art stuffs, but mostly papers / clippings from other times. There are vintage postcards organized by region, which was awesome. Owner obviously knows his stuff and is very helpful with finding specifics. Prices are also fair. If you're someone who can appreciate a good vintage item, this is the place for you. I was in awe the whole time I was here!!”

4110 E Madison St, Seattle“Only my 2nd visit to Gray & Gray Home. Discover new items at every turn. Walk thru the door into a beautifully appointed shop of treasures. My mother is 84 and a santa collector. It can take me 365 days to find her one. This year I found Mr. Claus at the shop. Love it and she will too.”
“I love my little assortment of items from Gracious Home. I've purchased: cocktail glasses, lamps, dining chairs, framed art, a mirror, decorative bowls, a brass tray, and probably other items I'm forgetting. Some pieces like the mirror are truly stunning, and it's great to give beautiful objects a new home. I've made the mistake before (somewhere else) of not thoroughly inspecting a vintage item before, and it cost me. The same diligence applies here as anywhere else. Fortunately, I've been able to pop in to check out items before purchasing. Tracy is also super helpful with providing item details such as material or dimensions over Instagram.”
“I have had Rhinestone Rosie repair a number of vintage jewelry pieces for me. Her work is excellent. She is very easy to work with and her prices are fair. When I first started to sell vintage jewelry, I met her for an appointment and she was very helpful with pricing and information.”
“Such a fun shop where you could spend quite some time browsing! This 2-floor vintage store has things in every nook and cranny. From furniture to clothes to wall decor and everything in between, there's something for everyone here! There's eccentric and funky knick knacks around every corner. Parking isn't too bad here on a Sunday (free street parking). If you're visiting on a Sunday when the Fremont Sunday Market is running, make a stop at that as well! You'll get all your vintage shopping in :)”
“One of my favorite antique stores to stop by whenever I'm in town. I'm so sad that this place is starting to shut down (from what I've been hearing). Highly recommend coming here before they close their doors!”
“When I was a child there was a mannequin here that looked like a vampire or some creepy old grave digger. It terrified me to the point I'd get anxious while we drove by. I believe that the mannequin is now gone, but proceed with caution.”
“Located at the lower level of the pike market, this shop specializes in vintage posters. The posters all have a hard cardboard back to protect it as well as a plastic cover. They’re organized very nicely in bins are lined up at the back of the store. The shop itself is not very big, so if it does get busy, you might have to squeeze in between people who are browsing.”
“I had the most wonderful experience at Crane Jewlers. Sarah Jayne was super helpful working with me to design a custom ring, and the end product was better than I’d even hoped for. The only jeweler I need in Seattle.”
