Stay away from this company and their estate sales. Every time I have attended an estate sale I…read morehave been treated as though I may steal something, employees following me around without offering sales support, and most recently chastised for asking for a "Sold" sign for two low-value items. Steer clear at all costs unless you want to feel bad about yourself the rest of the day. And never take a child, even if you are a single parent and have no care coverage options. They must train their employees to assume the worst in people.

Loved all the unique pieces, could have bought more than my bust of Apollo, but I had to pack whatever I could in my suitcase haha. The bus was a little pricey at $50 but I love it and there were plenty of staff around if you needed help finding anything I did ask if they had any marble chess boards, they did not thankfully for me. It probably would've been another hundred lol fun time searching around!

I wish I could give a 3.5 rating, since overall it was a good experience…read more So here's the deal. - lack of large signage on the exterior, makes it easy to miss being it blends in with the other businesses along the strip. -upon entering you may be given a strip of SOLD stickers. If not, you can find them by the registers. They're for tagging larger items you want to buy. You put the sticker on, and take it's product/price tag to the cashier for check-out. -the store is packed with items and people, which makes moving around not so easy. I don't think it's ideal for walkers, wheelchairs, or strollers. If you have mobility challenges, navigating may be tough. -some items don't have a price tag, like the pillow I bought. I asked the cashier how the price is determined, and was advised they assign what they think is a fair price at check-out. My pillow was valued at $4. -i got there at 10:07am, 7 mins after they opened and there were people everywhere. That said, if you're a serious shopper arrive early to see the goods before the super-early birds snatch it all up. -again, it's filled with stuff; mainly furniture, home decor, dinnerware, kitchen goods, some shoes, books, and I even saw cute scarves and bags. It didn't seem like a destination for clothes. Now that I'v summed that up, I do believe it's a nice option for thrifting and would definitely recommend it.

Come prepared to dig, though, as there is a ton of stuff...seriously. But I fell in love with many antiques...it was like there were many needles in the haystack.

This is a super cool spot that I finally got a chance to check out. Their hours vary, so make sure…read moreto check before you go, but I've heard it's because they basically sell out of everything when they're open and spend all of the time that they're closed to restock their inventory. The selection of goods is highly curated but also greatly varies, and I found a lot of very interesting knick knacks. The prices seemed very reasonable to me as well, and the woman I talked to at the register was very friendly. Would definitely return

This is a quaint old house filled with lots of treasures. It's the "occasional sale" concept in that it's only open once a month. When I walked in they had a large collection of refurbished furniture and accessories and were featuring a local artist (Here We Go, Alice) . The Urban Cottage is definitely worth shopping at for those one-of-a kind items or great deals. This is the kind of place that is fun to look forward to and see what new and exciting merchandise you'll find at the next sale.

What a trip! This shop is SO fun to walk around. I can't believe I haven't been in yet!…read more When you walk in, you'll be greeted by big taxidermied heads and gothic oddities from floor to ceiling. Truly, on this one I'll let the photos do the talking. There's so much to uncover here, many of which are a bit too spooky for my home decor but a blast to walk through! I didn't get anything, but my favorite items were the butterfly displays and the bug displays that had them in little mini vignettes like reading a book, smoking a cigarette, etc. hahah they were so darling and clever. Prices are steep but probably reasonable considering the uniqueness of everything here. If you're looking for a holiday gift for that quirky pal, come here! And even if you're not...you're gonna want to see this place.

I mean, what can you say about this place other than : awesome…read more a lot of taxidermy in here, but also a slew of other oddities you never knew you wanted.

Need a stuff moose head? some old research beakers and such? A tiny puffer fish with googly eyes? A Jesus with a blond wig? Porcupine quills perhaps? A stuffed dancing goat wearing a tutu? Vintage photos? Assorted bones? Well, you can find it here. The staff is very friendly and more than happy to answer any questions you may have. They even know the exact origin of many of the items in the store.

Love this place. Don't go there cuz you might buy something I want…read more I bought two Eames vintage chairs, a vintage stainless steel rolling cart so we can put stuff on it (coffee, liquor, food) and roll it around the house. I also bought two vintages designer lights and a couple pieces of glass labware to put cocktails in and put on the rolling cart to roll around the house (see above). I also bought a very cool looking gumball machine where you push down a little lever and a gumball comes out.** **I have put real gumballs and M&M peanuts in this thing and it has yet to spit out a gumball. It's pretty cool, though. OK, these guys have vintage cocktail glasses and shakers (do you see a problem here?) and more labware that I might buy. And a couple great vintage stands from a chemistry lab that has lots of clamps for test tubes. I'm trying to justify this one. My god!! They have two gigantic overhead light fixtures on rolling frames. If you live in one of those hoity-toity warehouses there is no excuse not to buy these. O, VINYL RECORDS YOU PEOPLE. SOUNDTRACK ALERT!! Endless Boogie was playing on their sound system. New favorite band. Ba-bump ba-bump ba-bump (Jaws) they are only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from about noon on.

If I could even call it 'work' more like 'an absolute joy' When I heard about your antiquification process and method, I must admit I was unsure...well, here we are, aren't we? So I had inherited an almost new bedside table from IKEA. I had the receipt and everything, the thing was about 3 months old. I didn't much care for it, to be honest and planned on giving it to Goodwill or auctioning it off. A Nepalese sherpa told me: "Hold that thought" while guiding me through his wonderful terrain. SO, upon returning to the US I called you guys up and 2 hours later I was witnessing a miracle. You made this IKEA table look 150 years old! I swear to Christ that it's a genuine antique now and I polish it 2-3 times per week, I use mayonnaise because I heard Celine Dion talk about how good it is to lather your antiques in mayo, she said this on the Oprah Winfrey show...and BY GOD, does it work. Something to do with the oil in the condiment. I plan on finding ALL MANNER of things around the house and having them antiquified...I've already bought TWO brand new things that I want to have antiquified to look EVEN older than the IKEA table. I wonder how far back you can go with this process! 5 out of 5 EASY, can NOT recommend enough Regards, - Sasha
