    Laurie, owner of The Vintage Owl, did a beautiful job restoring my mother's hutch!
    Jenny O.

    Laurie, owner of The Vintage Owl did a beautiful job restoring & beautifying my mother's hutch that has been in my childhood home for over 50 years. I'm excited that it will be a part of this homes new chapter.

    I am so happy with the project Laurie completed for me. I picked up an old Ethan Allen dresser that was ugly but well made. I had a vision for its new look and Laurie executed it perfectly! If you want a piece transformed, I recommend Laurie/Vintage Owl!

    The Vintage "WOW"! I found Laurie via Yelp when I was researching a way to repaint and refinish our dining set. Long story short: We had a sentimental connection to our dining set but wanted something more modern. After doing some research, we decided to repaint/refinish rather than buying something new. I reached out to several businesses, but Laurie's responses were timely and thoughtful. Throughout the process, Laurie was very communicative and reconfirmed our color/finishing choices. Laurie even helped with the delivery logistics even though it wasn't part of her scope. The process took a little over a week, the end result was incredible and even better than I had envisioned. Kudos to Laurie, and I would recommend and trust her and her son for your most valued projects!

    Thank you again Laurie it was a pleasure working with you. I'm so in love with peace that you did for me it came out beautiful. I sent her a picture of my chair's and she did the rest.

    Refinished table

    Laurie did an amazing job on my kitchen table. My kids ruined the finish playing with slime on it. This bleached out part of the wood making it incredibly difficult to get the new stain to take evenly. Laurie tested several different finishes for me until we found the one we were happy with. Her patience and persistence to get it right were incredible. I have had many people ask if I bought a new table and express how much they like it. I would definitely recommend her services.

    AFTER

    Where do I even start? They are professional, kind, organized and their work in beautiful. I hired Laurie and Frankie to paint my entire kitchen cabinets and what a transformation!!!!! They also painted my bathroom cabinets earlier this year, WOW the work is meticulous and the time line is always right on schedule. They completely contained all work via plastic etc so zero dust or disruption to the remainder of our home! When they are completed it was cleaner than when they started!!!! We highly recommend this business

Thank you so much Vintage Owl

    The Vintage Owl is new to Benicia's main shopping drag, having opened just over 6 months ago. The store was recently awarded the title of Northern California's Chapter of the National Canine Cancer Foundation, with a portion of each purchase going to the organization. The owner is personally invested in the cause...her beloved Mika passed away at 10 years of age from canine cancer. You should go to this store if: *You like vintage costume jewelry and other accessories *You like fancy, handmade soaps and other delicious-smelling things *You need to find a unique gift for a lady who has everything *You like shabby chic furnishings *You need some chalk paint for your own shabby chic project *You want to buy your dog a gift *You need a pretty scarf or hat *You're into upcycled things that actually look good *You support businesses that give back Speaking of supporting businesses that give back, you can also arrange to donate old furniture for the owner to restore and sell in the store, which will in turn benefit the foundation. This is a locally-owned business worth supporting. Stop by whether you need a gift for someone else, or for yourself!

    After without glass

    Laurie and her son were wonderful to work with. I entrusted them with my grandmother's hutch, which has a lot of sentimental value to me but needed an update. They were very responsive and accommodating. They did a great job matching the paint color I wanted and also expedited my order so that I could have it done in time for thanksgiving. It was awesome to show my family, and my grandma also loves the new color. They took great care on the details and the hutch turned out great! Also their pricing was super reasonable, I had other quotes that were outrageous in comparison and the business owners didn't really care about the sentimental value of the furniture item. Would recommend Vintage Owl for any furniture painting or refinishing job!

    The cushions on our kitchen bar stools were all sunk and sagging so we hired Laurie from Vintage Owl to replace the cushions and recover with new fabric. The tricky part was finding fabric to match the back rests. Laurie was so helpful in suggesting lots of different fabric options until we finally found one that would work. We are happy with the way they turned out. I would highly recommend.

    See all

    5 exciting stars up in the sky!…read more Just like craving a re-watch of a favorite movie, craving the taste of a go-to comfort meal, sometimes I think of when I can come back to lovely Benecia (I don't live local) and allow my eyes to ingest the sights of Succulents & More for stress relief, decor ideas, to adopt something cute or ugly (cuz let's be honest, sometimes succulents can be ugly) but green & alive to love & take care of. After leaving the fam at the pier down the street to see what sorts of fish can unluckily become our dinner, I decided to check out what shops this little beach town can offer. Plant stores are my jam, so after yelping "plant store" this walk worthy sparkling gem popped up. I had to rush because they close around 5 & it was past 4pm. Parking isn't the most plentiful on this street, so I jogged there from my already parked car. From the outside array of succulents that greeted me that started at an affordable $5 each, to the packed thoughtful & inspiring aisles of displays of healthy & full greenery, super cute & funny planters (i.e. boob planter), to the inviting green comfy velvet couch, I just wanted to sit down & allow my eyes to devour the cuteness & inspiration that covered every square inch of this store from floor to ceiling. My eyes really couldn't hold it all in, there was so much to look at (check out the video) like framed art, planters, lots of strings of plants, snake plants, pileas, maranatas, calatheas. I can't name them all but theres lots. Which is precisely why I need to come back & do it again. This place isn't big box store like Green Acres, Home Depot or Lowes. It's more boutique plant shop, one that's individul person owned & operated. While there, the new owner of the store zipped around, enthusiastically helping all her customers & answering questions. Shop small business, support local! It's definitely worth the drive here on a sunny day, to come back to search for a cute unique pot or when craving a new plant addition to my growing plant family or just for no reason at all.

It's got a beautiful mix of antique, vintage and vintage inspired wares from a variety of sellers. I saw so many unique paintings, decorations and even furniture that was reasonably priced.

On the day I visited, I had in a mind a particular sized painting-either framed or canvas for a certain wall space. They didn't happen to have it, but I saw plenty of other beautiful decorations that my budget, right now, won't allow for.

I deduct one star because I have been in the antique design industry for 8+ years with an Etsy store of my own. I also work at an antique store in Pacheco..... so I have some background knowledge here. No fault to the gals helping me but I was told discounts are not often given and when I asked about two pieces totaling roughly $50 ($28+$19) a $3 discount was given. That's less than tax. Again the gals working cannot control the dealer pricing HOWEVER competition is steep. When I can and did find similar items online and it cost less to buy and SHIP to me... perhaps the dealers should take that into account and price fairly. I recognize they are paying Walnut Creek rent for their space but folks won't continue to "shop local" if prices are obnoxiously higher than online. That being said the painted furniture prices are outstanding the work is really well done.
