For a sweetly random online trove, check Burlesque Design. A really fun store if you’re looking for just the right vintage piece, and the prices ensure that you get nice pieces in good shape.Flea markets make for awesome consumer adventures because you never know what you'll find next unfortunately, no matter what you find, you now have fleas. They seem to know that most people are mainly there to window-shop - I don’t think I’ve ever been greeted or asked if I need help, but that’s fine, since I’m just there to be a looky-loo anyway. If you’re into mid-century modern and/or tiki stuff, you’ll find tons to love here, especially if you’re outfitting a home bar.

The store is fairly large and usually has several living-room arrangements of couches, coffee tables, and chairs, as well as smaller pieces stashed all over. Other businesses should take note as I’m certain to return here should I need anything else, or if any friends ask where they should go.Įven though I could never afford anything from Lounge Lizard, I always like to stop in when we’re doing the Hawthorne vintage/antique crawl, because they have such an interesting assortment of furniture, lamps, and housewares, all in great condition. While I was there the salesman that made me the deal at the other location came down just to tell the salesman there that I had just spent a bunch of money at the other location, so give me a discount on whatever I’m interested in!

He asked me which three they were, and that he could make it a «package deal» that I could afford. I had three items in mind that I wanted to buy, but I told the salesman I could only afford two. With the expansion, there is a very large selection of quality furniture (and lights.) The thing that earned this place the five stars, though, is the service. The prices here are much cheaper than most other vintage Portland shops.
