5 Seattle Shops that Will Not Bore the Family

Spending time shopping can quickly get boring. Many retail stores and malls have the same brands and selections. As these stores are shopped the items become more and more redundant. For a unique shopping experience, there are vintage stores, handmade shops, and clothing stores with items designed by the owners. These stores have selections of items that will not be found anywhere else.

Space Oddity Vintage Furniture is the place to go to find furniture that is more than the typical retail store brands. The modern look is great for some, but Space Oddity Vintage has all of the worn old-style furniture that adds a little charm to any room. The owner of the store describes their inspiration as shabby chic.

The furniture is still aesthetically pleasing, but it has signs of wear and tear. The look that the furniture has been sitting in someone’s house for years is appealing. It gives the home a lived-in look and shows that people often spend time together while using the furniture. The concept of a distressed piece of furniture has become very popular in recent years.

There are places that people can take new furniture to and they will help to distress the design. This is one option to getting this specific look. However, it is very expensive. Instead of spending a lot of money on brand new furniture and then redesigning it, it is much easier to purchase well-used vintage furniture.

All items were previously owned and used. The shabby chic look of these items comes from natural wear and tear of people who have used these items in their homes. Saving money on these items is a bonus to getting great vintage furniture.
