| - I am torn how to rate Sweet Salvage.
Important info up front: (Apparently they are only open the 3rd Thursday of every month until Sunday, beginning at 10am, FYI, and so I was told, the early crowds get insane) Parking is a pain, unless you go at 2pm on Sunday.
The antique nerd in my wants to give them mediocre reviews for taking the thrill out of the hunt. What fun is salvage/antiquing if everything is clean, re-purposed and merchandised so beautifully?! But the shopper in me gives them kudos for their set up, lovely displays and neat ideas.
If you love the idea of vintage, shabby chic or rustic home decor, but are disgusted by digging through an old barn or stinky antique store, this is the place for you. If you are willing to pay for the look of re-purposing without doing it yourself, this is the place for you.
They really do have some neat things for any home that is in need of that special and unique item and some things are reasonably priced. Just walking around is fine, especially if you plan on doing something on your own and need some ideas. However, if you are like me and want to find that special treasure in a heap of junk...this is really not the place to find your diamond in the rough, these diamonds are all cleaned up and priced accordingly.
