Vintage Shopping in Tulsa: Tulsa Antique Malls

Vintage Shopping in Tulsa: Tulsa Antique Malls

First up in our series on our favorite places to shop vintage in Tulsa–antique malls!

While a great friend may love hitting up the thrift stores and estate sales with you, an antique mall may appeal to a wider audience. For example, Palmer used to take friends and extended family to Generations Antique Mall after breakfast at Tally's on the weekends.

From Matching Lamps to Minimalism: Bedroom Decor in the Daly Abode

My bedroom has seen a lot, folks. Take that how you like, but I am referring to decorating styles. It's first days featured a large brass bed handed down to us by my parents. It was exactly like the bed Bob Dylan sang of in his song Lay Lady Lay. And as much as I loved the joke of that song and my bed mingling in my mind, the compromise of two people sharing a home meant that I had to part with my brass bed.

Secrets of a Shop Owner: Favorite Places to Shop Vintage (in Tulsa)

We love a curated home carefully crafted with vintage, found, and new pieces. This adds depth and meaning to spaces. One of the best things about vintage pieces is that you have to hunt them down. If you want something specific (side table, a tall lamp), you have to go to lots of places to find the right one because vintage isn't something that's made in mass. It's pieces that have lived a life before, that have history, are from a certain era, and evoke a more individualized style than off the shelf at a big box store.

Retro Den 2016 Year in Review

Retro Den 2016 Year in Review

I read this silly meme the other day that said, "Every time you buy from a small business, an actual person does a little happy dance." This is so true. In this photo above, you see our sweet families and us–the people who celebrate every day we get to spend running our beautiful shop and spending time with our wonderful fellow Tulsans. Thank you for 2016, it was a wild ride in many ways, but so many good things happened and we wanted to take a moment to review all those lovely memories.
