    This is a beautiful store where you could spend a lot of time looking at all the items on each of the three floors. I loved a set of chairs they had, but at $3,600, it was a bit much! Always fun to look around though. Service was personable.

    The Blue Door is truly a amazing gem in the Funk Zone, I can't understand how I drive and walk by this treasure chest so many times and did not notice it. This is a huge old wearhouse with three wooden floors filled with lot's of vintage, antique also collective Items from, vinyl records, antique furniture, artwork, lighting, dishes, jewelry, carpert, watches, dolls, toys, vases, shoes, clothing, purses, houseware, dressers, plus all type of nick-nacks, along with some old playboy magazines. The staff here Megan and Erica were very nice and friendly, so next time you're in the The Funk Zone area stop in here for a trip back down memory lane, also be careful going up the other floors because on the low ceiling.

    Items were a bit on the pricey side. But it was a nice collection & I ended up buying a beautiful, vintage, Santorini patio set. I had seen this same set in Portland, about 4 years ago but thought that was too long a distance to bring it home. So glad I found it again! With cushions too! I hear Oprah shops here! Stop by, you never know what you're gonna see!

    FELL IN LOVE IMMEDIATELY. As soon as I walked past it, I had to back track and go in. Curated vintage finds-- 3 floors of it! A mix of everything, and although it's different vendors, it all flows. It's a bit on the spendy side, but I dare you to try and not find something you want here. For me, it was an awesome shag sweater/coat--there were two of them, lucky for me, the first one I found was a tad less $$ than the second one, which made me feel like I HAD to get it. Be forewarned, you will not leave this place empty handed.

    Beautiful crystal decanter I purchased

    A total treasure of a store in the heart of the funk zone! This building is very nondescript from the front and if the "blue door" wasn't open, it'd be another place you'd just walk by. Totally feels like a speakeasy sort of spot. The Blue Door is so very carefully curated and feels more like a beautiful time capsule of a museum than a consignment shop. The merchandise appears to be hand-picked and is all of utmost quality. The building has three floors (the second floor has a low ceiling and wonderfully creaky wood flooring) with each displaying their own collection of treasures. The merchandise is largely mid century and offers something for even the most discerning of tastes. I came here the other day to redeem a gift card for my birthday and ended up purchasing a beautiful crystal decanter for my home bar. It's almost too nice to fill up with my whiskey, but still functional enough to serve its purpose. I picked up the gift card from the front cash register and found the ladies behind the counter to be friendly and polite. Very cool place to explore. I will most definitely be back.

    What a fantastic gem of a shop located in the Funk Zone in Santa Barbara. A stones throw from amazing bars and restaurants. The Blue Door Features 3 levels of vintage furniture, art, lighting, accessories and vintage clothing too! The selection is very impressive and beautifully curated! What's especially comforting is their mask wearing and social distancing guidelines so you can shop with full confidence. And the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the products. I especially loved the Mid Century treasures mixed in with industrial. So many statement pieces you can't find just anywhere. Thanks for being open during this challenging time. And thanks for arranging shipping so effortlessly!

    Definitely more of a high end boutique. It's cute, but more house ware relared. Not really a good place to hunt Antiques for cheap.

Located steps away from State Street and next door to Grassini Winery. You can expect to find gorgeous handmade ceramics, plants, art, decor, dried flowers and more! I ended up purchasing some incense, a beautiful ceramic vase, and a small box of matches with Frida on it. The incense was burning in the store, and the smell was so pleasant. It's charcoal based incense sticks and made with phthalate-free fine fragrance oil. Sourced from Los Angeles. The scent is Piñon and my new favorite. Jared kindly helped me during my visit. He mentioned that they can customize the dried floral arrangements upon request. They had some beautiful ones already made. I was lucky to have met Kevin, who was working on creating more beautiful pieces of handmade ceramics. I can't wait to see what else he made on my next visit. Overall, I'm so happy to see this small business up and running. Looking forward to coming back soon.

Handmade Ceramics (each one a work of art), Art Prints, Woven Baskets, Blankets, Books, Candles of all shapes and sizes, Cards, Garden Supplies, Driftwood pieces, Glassware, and beautiful plants, both Succulents and dried floral arrangements. We found a basket of match books at the register, and realized they are ideal for their offerings of Sage (moving energy out), and Palo Santo (moving energy in). I was instantly drawn to the prints and illustrations by Lady Kady Art of Arizona, and look forward to starting my own collection. And truly a shop with gift ideas for everyone. Was also happy with the reasonable pricing for some incredibly artful items. Located in the El Paseo, and right next to the Grassini Family Vineyards tasting room patio.

    We have a maple Scandinavian dining room set my parents gave us as a wedding present. When the kids…read morewere little years back, the original seat fabric got all stained and nasty with milk, etc. We went to an undisclosed interior design place and replaced the fabric with marine grade vinyl and thick padding. The result was horrendous. The vinyl was tucked, unprofessionally with big seams/creases at the corners, like a do it yourself job. We didn't care at the time - as long as it held up for the next 10 years, we were good. Come 2020 and that vinyl is getting annoying. Our butts stick to them, the chairs noticeably look bad relative to the rest of our furnishing, and most importantly, the kids aren't leaving have half their food on the seats. Santa Barbara Design Center has been here for a while and I stopped in randomly on the way to Home Improvement. I was introduced to Michael, a knowledgeable and personable chap. I showed him an online picture of the original chair, and that I wanted to restore the seat to its original, sleek, sculptural and refined splendor. He said no problem, provided a couple of premium quality fabric books, and we were on our way. We picked out the fabric and brought the chairs in. Michael commented "my god, who did this work?" 50% down and ten days later, chairs were done, with a message "come down and make sure you are happy." My wife and I looked, were pleased - Michael responded with "here's something that bothers me, I want you to see..." He flipped the chair over and on the bottom, the seat fabric was stapled just outside of the underside frame. You wouldn't see it normally, but from a distance or looking down from the side, you might. Immediately we thought the same thing, yeah, that's not ideal. He said it shouldn't be done like this, let me redo it for you, no charge. His upholsterer redid it, and boy those 8 chairs look great, almost better than the original! The seats came out sleek and wonderfully curved over the underlying pad. The fabric is comfortable, soft and elegant - couldn't be happier. The interior of SBDC fills a warehouse space and contains just about everything; furniture, rugs, lamps, etc. The staff were COVID compliant, and Michael was a dream to work with. He has an excellent eye for detail, is easy to work with, and is an honest broker; I wish we had more projects for him!

Definitely greeted kindly however when it comes to getting answers about products and getting called back when they get items back like the gloves - I receive no call. I stopped in multiple times and would check in and just remind them to call me. Of course, another time I stop in they have them but nobody called. Same thing nobody called me back about some questions I had on fabric and some products. So sadly, I've dropped them down from 5 to 3 stars because if you can't get information, especially when you're willing to pay a pretty penny, then that send a message that they don't stand behind their product or they don't really believe in their customer service. I have waited six months and had similar experiences so this isn't a one off. I'll try again down the line and hope things will have improved. I've tried to ask for the owner but she's not there.
