I cannot say enough wonderful things about Vintage Owl. Laurie and her team completely transformed…read moremy dull, dated early-90s bedroom furniture set into something that feels timeless, elevated, and absolutely beautiful. What was once heavy, yellowish, stained, scratched and tired is now a dreamy creamy light beige with the most gorgeous detailing. They thoughtfully retained and carefully cleaned the original hardware, which adds so much character and charm. The delicate veneer wood tops on the nightstands were expertly restained and now look rich and intentional rather than worn. Beyond the cosmetic transformation, their craftsmanship and service truly impressed me. They repaired broken dresser drawer tracks so everything functions smoothly again, and they even fixed an old light inside one of the drawers that hasn't worked in years. The entire set feels brand new while still honoring its original character. It's rare to find someone who combines artistry, attention to detail, and true restoration skill the way they do. If you're considering refinishing furniture instead of replacing it, this is your sign, and you will be absolutely thrilled with the result.

My cabinets were old and yellowed and now the kitchen is so much better. Vintage Owl did such a great job I'm asking them back to replace a light and other pairing. To begin my project I got several quotes and felt the personal touch Vintage Owl provides encourages trust. The price was reasonable and I'm very happy.

As there are MANY candles and home decor goods, I proceed to open a jar at the register to explore the scent when she abruptly and rudely said "Don't open that! It's honey! The candles are over there!" Go figure. I doubt I'm the last adult person to mistake a jar for this, given the store merchandise ALL around (you don't see foodstuff, you see pillows, tchotkes and candles, not jars of honey that could be spilled). Needless to say I left thereafter and wished her good luck with business. Treat your customers with better service and respect. She was rude. I won't be shopping there, nor recommending other locals to shop there either. Inventory and decor style still the same from its inception years ago. Curious to see how long they remain in business.

It took all I had to not buy anything, though if anyone did justice to meticulous window shopping of that stunning gold and emeralds, I did the honors lol :-) The prices for those items were not cheap but then again, I didn't expect them to be.
