Sorry to just learn Attic Child is selling its business and contents...hopefully I can make it to the store this month, Feb. 2026 to see if they are still carrying anything... Wonderful people who refinished a few pieces for us. We will miss you... read more

Does good work, reasonably priced. The owner is friendly, as is her cat! She refinished 3 tables for us and even managed to get ancient green marker out of the wood. Very happy. read more

We were in the area and decided to stop by. It's a cute little store. They had a little of everything. We purchased a few unique funds. The store is bright and organized. Definitely recommend read more

Attic Child - Furniture Stores Near Me - Martinez, California

Would give this store a higher rating because typically their furniture is reasonably priced but came here on a Saturday at 11am and the sign says "open" but all of the lights are off and the door is closed. There are no hours posted on the window and no explanation for not being open. Called the number and the mailbox is full. Not really sure what's going on here but seems to be a pretty unreliable store. read more

What a great store. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. The location is great - perfect for an afternoon stroll after lunch.

Awesome furniture and restorations. Great people. Have purchased several things over the years and always find what I'm looking for

Great store for affordable quality furniture. The new owner is very nice and helpful. She is easy to work with and I appreciate the time she spends with her customers. read more

I was looking for a small, antique desk to fit in front of my living room window. I wanted it to be charming and well-made and fit in with my other furniture. Found it at Atticchild! But there's more...Gwen the artistic refinisher at Atticchild did an absolutely beautiful stain-and-paint job that took the little desk to a whole other level. She was also a pleasure to work with. She had a vision for the final product, but also communicated really well to make sure I'd end up liking it. I love it! If you're looking for any kind of antique furniture but want to give it a stunning "facelift," go to Gwen at Atticchild. read more

Fred and Gwen rock! Love my gorgeous pieces they have painted shabby chic for me! Thank you so much! I can always find something I truly treasure here! read more

Sweetest family I've ever met...just when I was starting to think I made a bad decision coming to the west coast I discovered Attic Child. Very nice owners who bought me a ticket to the wine stroll at the local fair as a thank you from driving down from San Francisco. I purchased a gorgeous dresser and I can't wait to get it. The owner took his time in explaining to me how he would bring the dresser back to life. Thanks guys for making me feel at home and miss Georgia even more. read more

I have bought 3 or 4 lovely, Federal Style Bedside tables from Attic Child. They are antique, mahogany, great condition and great price. Fred is wonderful to deal with. Kathy Williams read more

I was searching for just the right dresser and I was hopeful that this shop would have something that worked for me. Their prices were significantly higher than my budget but I had a deadline so was prepared to spend at least $100 more than I wanted to. Still, nothing was right. In the 10+ minutes I browsed I didn't anyone working there - no one to ask if they perhaps had other options in the back. If there was a back. Luckily I found another establishment in Fremont where I found exactly what I needed at about half the cost here. read more

I have purchased several pieces of furniture from Attic Child and I love every piece. The prices are very reasonable and the furniture is "old" but of really good quality. Fred, one of the owners, does a great job at refinishing and painting the furniture. It's definitely worth a trip to Martinez. They have a lot of stuff yet to be refinished. That's where I've found most of my pieces. I was able to have them all custom painted and distressed to my liking. I think I need to buy a bigger house just so I can keep buying stuff from Attic Child. Thanks for all the beautiful "funiture"! read more

Fred and Gwen updated two pieces for us. They painted a bench from red to black and repaired the loose bottom while they were at it. They also transformed a white shabby chic entry way piece by painting it black. Both pieces look great! read more

Attic Child - Our nursery changing table. Painted "Light French Grey" by Sherwin Williams. I'm so happy with Fred's work. - Furniture Stores Near Me - Martinez, California

Fred is simply the best. I had looked everywhere to find the perfect armoire. Then I happened upon Attic Child. I live in San Francisco, so I drove up to Martinez for the day. Other than forgetting where I parked my car, the day was so much fun. Fred found the perfect armoire for me, painted it the perfect color, and delivered it to my home. You can't ask for more. read more

Love attic child! My out of style pine hutch and table needed an update, my sister has several pieces from Fred, so I enlisted him to paint my dining room set! Couldn't be happier and I get complements all the time! Wayyyyyy less expensive than a new set! And it's new to me now! He even picked it up and delivered it back. He's your guy! read more

We had Fred at Attic Child transform our ugly duckling 1940's bedroom furniture into a beautiful swan. Up-cycle your furniture vs replacing it. Fred is a great small business owner who takes pride in his work along with outstanding customer service. We highly recommend his shop if you are looking for quality furniture or looking to make over your existing pieces. read more

I brought in a nightstand for a paint job. Results were good and the price was fair. Service was personable. I know where to go next time I need this kind of help. read more

Wonderful place and very personable owner. Quality workmanship and reasonable prices too. I really recommend checking the place out.

Fred and the shop were great. He showed us around and helped us find the perfect dresser to use as a changing table for the new baby's room. Great 1920's piece with amazing character! read more

I am absolutely delighted with a refinished highboy dresser I bought at Attic Child. It is a solid wood piece from the late 60's/early 70's that was refinished with a beautiful muted red paint, distressing, and glass knobs, resulting in a one of a kind, exquisite French cottage type piece of furniture. I truly love it. Fred, the owner of the shop, is a very nice person who does excellent work. The prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for Attic Child yet! We stumbled across this little store while looking for good, sturdy bedroom furniture in the Spring. The store is small, but they have lots of good pieces that can be painted any color you like. We found the perfect dresser and matching side tables for a very reasonable price. It only took about a week to be painted and delivered! It was our first time to Martinez and are already planning on going back to visit Attic Child for another dresser soon! read more

I cannot wait to get my finished piece from Attic Child! I searched all over today for an entertainment center for my living room, after looking at over priced pieces of furniture in the antique stores- and looking at cheaply (and costly) pieces at Target, I stumbled into this wonderful establishment. Needless to say I will be going back in the future to have him paint my coffee table, end tables, and desk. I highly recommend Attic Child and will be returning! read more

Cute stuff

If you want custom painted furniture, especially antiques go see Fred. I have bought pieces he had in the store and I have had him restore pieces. He fixed a 110year old dresser for me and then painted it a gorgeous antique grey and it is stunning! He found the perfect bed frame to match and today I dropped off night stands to complete my set. He is fairly quick and can typically have the pieces done within a few weeks. Extremely reasonable prices. I wish I had a bigger house! read more

I bought a 6 drawer dresser here over 7 years ago and it is my favorite piece of furniture. It is beautifully painted white and everything works so well on it. The owner was friendly and delivered it to San Francisco! I paid about $350 which was the same price for an IKEA dresser but this one is a statement piece I'll have forever and all the drawers work. I highly recommend this place. The owner is honest and helpful. I can't wait to go back when I have a bigger apartment! read more

My wife and I searched high and low for quality furniture in the east bay. We visited local furniture stores (ashley, macy's, JC Penny's), all cheap particle board foreign made. Consignment stores are hit or miss, you almost need an insider to get good looking and well made furniture. Craigslist is like shopping online for furniture, you never know what you're going to get unless you see the items in person. My mom has been re-upholstering furniture for the past 30 years, and raised me to learn types of wood, recognize certain traits of craftsmanship. You know the good stuff, solid hardwood, dovetail joints, and the most important thing on a dresser, properly sliding drawers. Lets just say Fred at Attic Child was a pure delight to find. We came here looking for a changing table for our son, and a dresser for me. We found so many other things we liked. I work in real estate and help people move, when people ask for recommendations, I only promote this place. It is worth your time to visit downtown Martinez and see what Attic Child has to offer. read more

I recently was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and have to downsize and sell my house. I have a vintage 3 piece oak dresser set that has been through 3 of my kids and I no longer have room for it. Its also in desperate need of refinishing or painting. I decided to bring in photos and a drawer to Attic Child to see if they would be interested since their store is full of refinished furniture. The man looked at the photos and checked out the drawer and offered me $150 for all 3. I was hoping for a little more but settled on the $150 since I knew I needed to get rid of it as soon as possible. The man showed up at the appointed time and the first thing I noticed was he wreaked of cigarette smoke. It was unbearable. He instantly started picking apart what was wrong with the furniture. If the furniture would have been in excellent condition I probably would have been able to get a lot more for it somewhere else. He told me he could only give me $100 for it and I started crying. It was hard enough letting it go for $150. He has been in the business long enough and should have never made a $150 offer if he didnt think it was worth it. He then offered me $125 and I told him fine and to take it. He stormed out and left the furniture and the horrible smell of cigarettes behind him. Im appalled he would try to take advantage of me like that knowing what kind of situation I was in. Needless to say I wont be doing business at Attic Child ever again. read more

Small quaint store located in downtown Martinez. The owners are so sweet and accommodating. They take old "antiques" and turn them into updated pieces that give such personality to your home. We have purchased two pieces, a dresser we use as a side board and a large shabby chic dresser that is perfect for my walk in closet. I love both and you can't beat the price compared to many furniture companies that make new furniture to look old and distressed (cough, cough... potter barn/restoration hardware/etc.) To address the bad review regarding the owners as unappreciative of antiques, many of these furniture pieces are in bad shape, damaged, misses parts and are heading towards the dumps! They give new life to this old furniture that would otherwise be rotting in a landfill. Many pieces are being salvaged, donated or purchased from garage sales according to the owner. He had one woman give him her grandparents old bedroom set and when she returned to the store fell in love with some newly painted and updated furniture and was so shocked that it was the same furniture she had just given away! Thanks Fred for the great pieces that add some great personality to our home! read more

Love this 'hole in the wall' shop in rustic downtown Martinez. Different pieces every week, so if you like it, buy it! I have waited to go in and regretted it when the piece was gone. Good prices, lovely and up to date colors. You can view pieces ahead via FB. Liked the owner who is fair and easy to work with. read more

My sister came in to the store together. We waited while a female employee happily assisted a middle aged couple. When it came to be our turn, the female employee completely changed her attitude and was actually fairly cold and rude toward us. Perhaps our age, as we are younger? We were offended and walked out fairly quickly. You guys lost a customer. Don't assume that because we are young, that we are unable to afford quality pieces of furniture. read more

One of the coolest little shops in the county! Who wants cheap Department and chain store furniture when you can get unique quality GORGEOUS pieces at a fraction of the cost at this fabulous treasure of a store! I was just grabbing a coffee and noticed they were open... Stopped in for a quick look-see.... I was absolutely blown away! First of all, I could not believe the amount of furniture in this small space but it was easy to maneuver and view and admire. The owner and an assistant were so adorable and pleasant! I bought a gorgeous piece and I have my eye on several others... Can't wait to go back ! The quality of the paint and distressing are off the charts! read more

Purchased 3 items for my new apartment and had one delivered. The prices were great - and negotiable and terrific customer service. If you are looking for a unique vintage piece check out their current inventory on Craig's list or Facebook or visit the store and let them customize for you. read more

I love this place! We purchased two dressers from Fred that he hand painted and gave a rustic feel too. Not only are they adorable but it great quality. We couldn't be happier. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE This place!! Fred does amazing work, and is quick! You can pick an unifinished piece of furniture and pick your own color, or chose from one of his already completed pieces. LOVE it! Just ordered 2 dressers and a nightstand...cant wait!!! read more

I love AtticChild! I went in there to look for something that they ended up not having and found a beautiful dresser instead. Fred is wonderful! read more

Attic Child had been catching my eye on craigslist for a few weeks now. I've been searching for a dresser for my baby's nursery (due in less than 4 weeks). I am so glad I went to Attic Child this weekend. Small shop, but super cool. The dresser I got is beautiful, and really good condition for a 1950's piece. I looked at other places with vintage painted furniture, and the insides of the drawers were so old and gross I would never consider putting baby clothes inside them. All the drawers I peered in at AC were in nice condition. I think Fred finds unwanted items, but he makes sure the pieces still have their structural integrity, and he always repairs the drawers so they are fully operable. The quality of his painting work is excellent. I think I am going to have him paint an old hutch I inherited from my grandmother. Highly recommend. As for the person who wrote a negative review because of him painting entire matching bedroom sets and not appreciating antiques... How silly! I'm sure the matching bedroom set is far more attractive after Fred paints it. I think he must truly love and appreciate antiques to breathe new life into them so that they are attractive to a modern audience. Overall, definitely Two Thumbs Up! read more

Trekked out to visit this place, but neither the pieces nor the prices were anything special.

Great place to find a shabby chic dresser or buffet without paying Pottery Barn prices. Fred can paint it any color of your choosing, and was a pleasure to do business with. read more
