I have followed Susan for at least two decades, and this shop is a grand treasure trove of all…read morethings antique, vintage and beyond. Susan has always had an individual point of view, which happens to correlate with mine. Her pieces are handpicked and this shop, in my opinion, is one of the very few (2) places in Seattle where you may find antiques and vintage items, not junk. Her asking prices may be a little high, but one-of-a-kind and European items usually are.

Because while almost everything here is truly vintage, it feels like you could take it home and put it right to use, particularly if you are inspired by the cottage meets vintage vibe. Well curated, well stocked, and put together with a great eye, this is a nice buttoned up and traditional juxtaposition to the more modern, industrial, dust-bowl sideshow inspired Kirk Albert next door. What a fun place to walk around, browse and get inspired! In particular, they have great mirrors and unique ornate frames here, that are in really excellent condition. Why buy new, when you can buy something with history and real character to enhance your living space?

I love exploring Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood. It has evolved over the years and there are…read morepockets of some gentrification. It's always fun to check out the retail spots, cafes, and restaurants. I have my current faves on rotation, but it's great to discover a new spot. Housewright Gallery has been established since 2018, but this was my first visit (6/10/23). It's been awhile since I've done neighborhood art walks or visited specific art galleries or museums on a routine basis. I've only stopped to view installations in Belltown and First Hill this year. So it was great find to seek out specifically Housewright Gallery on S. Bailey, next door to Mezzanotte. It was a rainy Saturday and the neighborhood was setting up for two concurrent outdoor events. I was able to navigate the detours and found nearby street parking before the community festivities commenced. I wanted to check out Housewright Gallery's annual Pride Summer Salon, featuring mid century to current works from Northwest School artists and a collection of silver gelatin photographs taken by Kurt Timmermeister. I consider Kurt a modern day renaissance man. As mentioned earlier, this was my first visit to Housewright Gallery and did not know what to expect. I was warmly welcomed after I introduced myself and my intent to see Kurt's featured photos. It was great to view all the gallery artwork and photography up close, at a distance, and wander freely. I've been binging on my favorite Canadian interior design show segments, so it was a thrill seeing all the beautiful, carefully curated items throughout. I also gravitated to the furnishings, book collection, and Japanese ceramics. I enjoyed my visit and absolute admiration for the overall collection from the variety of artists and craftspeople.

It was my…read morefirst visit, and while I didn't end up taking anything home, I'm still glad I finally got to see what it was all about! This is definitely more of a furniture and home improvement focused store than the type of thrift store I usually gravitate toward. There were lots of larger furniture pieces, unique home decor, artwork, tools, paint, and more. I could see this being a really fun place if you're remodeling a room, furnishing a new space, or tackling a DIY project since you could easily pick up both the supplies and some one of a kind pieces in one stop. One thing that stood out was the artwork. There were some really fun and unique pieces hanging throughout the store that made browsing enjoyable. The biggest downside for me was the pricing. Some items felt reasonably priced, but quite a few of the larger furniture pieces seemed expensive enough that I found myself thinking you could buy something new for a similar price. Of course, that's going to depend on what you're looking for and whether you fall in love with a particular piece. The staff was incredibly friendly, though, and that definitely made a positive impression. There were signs throughout the store encouraging shoppers to ask for help reaching artwork or items on higher shelves, and everyone seemed genuinely happy to assist. Overall, it wasn't quite my style of thrift shopping, so I probably wouldn't make a special trip back. That said, if you're hunting for furniture, tools, or unique home pieces, it's absolutely worth stopping in to see what you might find!
