Incredible selections available and the owner is so sweet and passionate it made the whole shop experience magical. Highly recommend checking this place out if you ever are in need of some cool unique items for your home!
Incredible pieces, even better owner. If you care about supporting a company that not only cares about the impact our spending habits on the environment but also cares about the humans on this earth, this is it!
Stopped in just to browse. Amazing unique pieces and a huge assortment of antique lighting fixtures, door knobs, and home decor. Pricing was so-so, some things seemed too high while others were reasonable.
I had been wanting to visit this store for a while. I came in looking for some cabinet handles and found exactly what I wanted! What a treasure trove. I will definitely be back anytime I need some bits and bobs with character.
This place was a gem to explore. The man behind the counter was so kind and even let me have a bit of old chain links for free when I told him about the project I was using the chain for. Great atmosphere, I’ll definitely be coming back again for craft and home decor needs!
We stopped in to find the perfect vintage light fixture for our 1930s home. Rodger went above and beyond to help us find a gorgeous chandelier that just needed a little TLC. (See middle photo.) It is evident that Rodger has expertise in salvage and restoration. He polished, repaired, and rewired this beauty so it was ready to install when we picked it up. We love wandering through his shop, and can’t wait to return to see what else we find for our home.
Lots of antiques to find here and a pretty wide variety down to wood trim and beams if anyone owns an old house. Antique sinks, vents, knobs and the most beautiful chandeliers but very pricey especially since you can find similar chandeliers for a lesser price. Met their doodle and he/she was so sweet and soft seeing a fur baby is always a treat. There was a gun set out for sale and as we picked it up to look at It a worker proceeds to tell us to “leave it” because it was loaded. Kinda rude but I wouldn’t put a loaded gun out for sale for anyone to just grab but that’s just me. Huge mold issue in the basement so I wouldn’t purchase any wood work from down there and could possibly be a health hazard for those sensitive to spores.
What a great store. We were looking for lighting fixtures for an old house and found exactly the right thing. It was a lot of fun to look at all the antique construction elements and downtown Kzoo is delightful.
Such a cool place to check out. The two gentlemen working were so helpful and gave me the information I needed for a project. Definitely a place to get items for an older homes or just wander through if visiting Kalamazoo!
Got a chance to stop in here and my visit was great. There are alot of fascinating things here to look at.. Alot of things you don't see anymore. Many pieces were usable if you were looking to remodel a room in your house . You will definitely find pieces you don't see anymore. Pieces that were crafted in way that makes them unique.
I went here looking for nothing and was happy with the eye candy of all the beautiful things in this building! The chandeliers took my breath away. I didn’t get anything because I didn’t need anything, but we got to meet Murphy the dog and the people working in the store. They were so nice and had a sense of humor on them too. The street signs were tempting.
This is the place to go if you want your house to become awesome. Came here with a buddy to get him some vintage doors for his house and we spent hours just searching through the options to find the right fit. And of course there's a huge selection of related door accoutrement for the perfect look. Prices are terribly reasonable and Rodger and the folks that run it are kind and knowledgeable.
The number of vintage, ready to use light fixtures, hardware, original windows, doors and screens, and more was awe inspiring. If you are into lighting from all eras, this establishment will knock your socks off. The proprietor is a super nice and knowledgeable fellow. The aquarium with the BIG catfish was a fun addition. The store interior and exterior are like a walk back in history.
This place has a lot of variety. We were able to find some of the trim pieces that we have been looking for plus a gorgeous terra cotta door handle. There are a couple other items that we will go back for, when we have more time, to really look through everything.
It was my first time here and I almost immediately noticed this lantern. I wanted it badly but $325 is just way too much for me. I'd have to work a whole week to buy it and then skip paying my half of rent. At least I got a picture.
Very nice store, lots of interesting things with super helpful staff, lots of options, and the stock is super organized - normal humans could only achieve this level of organization while on adderall.
The owner pulled out bins from the back for us to search through so we could get what we needed!
If that were not enough, they watch out for the geese that frequent the area to make sure they don't get run over by careless drivers!
Definitely has great stuff, even if you usually have to dig for it. But honestly, that's the point. We've gotten doors, trim and windows from here and got pretty much exactly what was needed every time. Yes, it feels pricey, and you have to put some elbow grease into it, but the last time I priced odd sized windows and solid wood doors at Lowes they weren't cheap either. They also lacked character.
We love this place! One of our favorite stops when we are out antiquing. The staff is always helpful, insightful, and personable. The owner has always greeted us, and has helped us with many different projects on restoring our 1940’s home. The store has a huge variety of vintage and antique architecture, household accents, and replacement parts: doors, corbels, locks (my favorite), doorknobs/handles, lighting, and furniture, plus smaller antique items (I saw a really cool typewriter the last time I was there). The company is also very involved in local issues, such as preserving architectural works of art and historical sites, and lots of information on these issues and what you can do to help can be found at the store on their posters and by talking with staff. Definitely a Kalamazoo favorite.
Incredible place. It’s like a hardware museum - except pieces don’t go here to die, they turn up here to get new life and live again. I wrongly assumed everything would be covered in rust and was so pleased to find this was not the case. Worth driving out of your way to visit for sure. Can’t say enough great things about this place, and the folks here are just absolutely top notch people too. Can’t wait to come back.
