They are pricey, but this is an instance where you get what you pay for. We are seriously in the market for a couple of pieces, so we joined the VIP Club for the next three months. Wish us luck!

This place is hopping! Folks were leaving with bags of purchases as we walked in; both floors were…read morepacked with interested shoppers. I particularly like how organized and straightforward absolutely everything is. I try to hit this place once a month when they are open because things are always new, and the merchandise turns over quickly. Today I was looking for a lamp, was wowed by some pottery, but bought a great print!

I love Ursa and have been coming here for the last 5 or 6 years. I love their air plant selection,…read morehandmade local jewelry (Lisa Slodki based out of Chicago is my favorite!!!!), and their selection of unique and beautiful gifts. Speaking of Lisa Slodki, I love her designs so much that I've purchased multiple pairs of earrings for myself, four necklaces, and I bought a few necklaces for my girlfriends as birthday and Christmas gifts. I should have a punch card! They also have wonderful perfumes and oils- a few of my favorite scents include sandalwood, palo santo, coconut, and patchouli. This shop is wonderful if you'd like to get a little something for yourself or a unique gift for someone else.

Absolutely LOVE URSA! This is my favorite boutique in Milwaukee. Everything in the store is so…read moreaesthetically pleasing. They have a great jewelry and perfume collection, but their sunglasses are my absolute favorite. For a boutique with high quality and unique goods, I still find them to be reasonably priced. They also have a lot of fun events throughout the year so I recommend following their instagram to stay in the loop on anything they have coming up. They have an incredible hair clip collection as well. All the workers are super friendly without being overbearing and they are all so fashionable!

Plume vintage is the place to go to for woman's vintage clothing. My first time going I was…read moreextremely impressed. The selection is immaculate. They have 3 separate rooms. On the first floor is blouses, sweaters, and accessories. One room upstairs has skirts, pants and black dresses. The last room has jackets, lingerie, and evening apparel. I would categorize the vintage clothes as upscale vintage not really granola vintage. The decor throughout is gorgeous. It's very 80s class decor and they have lovely couches and rugs throughout. Also can't forget the service. The cashier was extremely helpful and even helped me choose between sunglasses.

Stopped in yesterday while in town before heading to the airport. The shop is set up nicely, super…read moreorganized, great pieces, with some fair prices. They have three rooms: a down stairs and two upstairs locations on opposite sides of the downstairs. I found a dress that was really great and I left it behind but am kicking myself for that. I'll stop back by my next time in town and hope it's still there. I was left to shop and explore, which I appreciate.

Antiques can sometimes be ridiculously overpriced, but Atelier has fair pricing, offering 20% off on certain items and giving future discounts of 10% and 20% based on how much you spend. In addition to a variety of nifty antiques, they also have a wide selection of wood crafts. I just wish we had more time to explore! I'll most definitely be back!

They have many very nice pieces for a very low price. Compared to the stores in Chicago, the items he are much nicer, better restored and in overall better shape. I plan to come back soon to get a few pieces from them.

The shop on National Ave is super fun to browse - there's even vintage clothing and a little jewelry studio in the back. The mid century modern items change constantly - they're always getting new items. The service was great - Jesse was really flexible in arranging a time to deliver the piece. It was all smooth sailing with these guys and I only wish we had a larger space to accommodate more furniture.

Only open sometimes, blink and you'll miss it. I really enjoyed perusing and taking it all in... they've got some really neat pieces, though nothing jumped out at me this visit as a "must have." And honestly, I couldn't help but feel like everything was priced just *a touch* too high. Totally understand paying for quality antiques in relatively perfect condition, but this spot felt almost like everything was priced $50-$100 above fair market value.

We wandered around R Vintage during the Bay View Bash - it's a lot bigger than the storefront…read moresuggests. If you're into 50-60's glass, lamps, décor and furniture this is absolutely a place you should be checking out. They've got tons of interesting barware, lamps shaped like flamingos, beer signs for your awesome basement bar and lots of tacky paintings. I was surprised by how much furniture they had - console tables, tons of side chairs and the kind of horribly patterned upholstered sofas that my grandma referred to as "davenports". Speaking of my grandma, I'm pretty sure she owned most of this stuff at some point, especially the matador figurines because bullfighting??? IDK, never could quite figure out what theme grandma had going on in her living room. Anyway, I'd agree with Rachel that the prices on stuff here seem to be higher than at other vintage/antique shops. I'm guessing the high amount of vintage-loving hipsters in BV are driving prices up. Also be aware that the shop is PACKED full, so it's not a great place for smaller kids.

Always a fun adventure to shop at On & On! I rarely leave without something. I love the wide…read morevariety of treasures to be found - down handmade earrings to old photos to vintage glassware and so much more. The staff are always super friendly. I find the prices to be very reasonable.

This German Shepherd strolls into a bank and sits down at one of the service desks where Patricia…read moreBlack just got promoted to lending officer and was working her first day. The German Shepherd says he needs some money for home renovations, so the surprised new bank officer asks if he has any collateral. The canine offers up this antique artsy-fartsy thing saying it's worth a lot of money, he got it at On and On Milwaukee for much less than it's actually worth because the prices at this antique store are so reasonable. The lending officer is at a loss, this just wasn't covered in her extensive training so she excuses herself to see the bank manager for advice. She tells him "there's a German Shepherd who can talk who wants money for some renovation work, but all he has to secure it is this vintage thing I don't even know what it is, what should I do?" So the manager tells her, "It's a knick knack Patty Black, give the dog a loan." I'm sorry I don't actually know if they allow dogs in here, talking or not. They do sell all sorts of unusual art and antiques at very reasonable prices and it's right next to a wonderful wine bar and an excellent coffee shop.

It's an unusual place: wonderful furniture and objets d'art, some of it way beyond my price range but much of it affordable. I wound up coming back for some gifts in a variety of media and prices, as well as some prints to hang on my walls. A great find in a great neighborhood.

I love them - they are just the right size for my home. They moved with me from Chicago to Milwaukee in near perfect condition...and then I got a dog. She got bored one day and decided to take it out on one of those chairs. She claimed the other as her spot in the living room for comfy afternoon naps. I finally decided it was time to get them fixed, and I cannot tell you how happy I am with the outcome - the process was seamless, I completed a form online, emailed a few times about cost, brought my chairs to the place, picked out a fabric, received a quote by email, and three weeks later - paid and picked up the chair. Worth every penny to have these chairs back in peak condition for years to come.
