| - VNTG Home is located in the fabulous Tyler Village Complex (right above Got a Groove Records), so I was lured in during the August Cleveland Flea and I have been back every! weekend! since! - And I never leave empty-handed. If you haven't been to their sprawling showroom yet, GET ON it!
VNTG Home absorbs furnishing lots from estates, takes items on consignment, and sources them through their talented design staff to fill their football-field-sized loft space. They have everything from small tabletop tchotchkes, framed art, and linens to lighting, furnishings, and other unique items. It's a treasure-hunter's paradise because everything is so reasonably priced and they frequently run generous sales and promotions on top of that.
If you're anything like me, your design sensibilities can run away with you sometimes. I might look at a chair and say, "I LOVE it! I only wish it were . . . a different color/texture,etc!" That's where VNTG Home goes from being an awesome second hand furnishings store to being a place where actual, honest-to-god MAGIC happens! Their in-house 'up-cycling' services employ decorative finish artists and upholsters so you can choose from their LIBRARY of fine fabrics and paint finishes to customize any piece in the store. To date, I have commissioned a custom bench cushion and pillows for a window seat in my house and I'm dying with anticipation of their arrival! The design staff was helpful and encouraging and the whole process was so easy and affordable!
So, what I'm trying to say is, I'm in love. And like any girl in love, I'm telling all my friends about it!
