The Vintage Nest

Yesterday I went out to 
Glenview to help my friend 
change up her store and add room for 
her new large clothing line she now carries... 

My favorite thing in the store is the couch! 

If your looking to update yours I would recommend 
checking it out!

Here a bio of Mindy and here store: 

Vintage Nest began with my passion for scouring the antique markets on weekends for that unusual find - - the thrill of the hunt! Along the way I realized that I wanted to spend more and more time re-purposing my finds and expressing my inner desire to be creative. 
By early 2006 I had accumulated well over two storage units full of furniture and home accessories from my antique explorations. Not to mention that we could no longer park our 2 cars in the garage because this too was overflowing with my finds. 
Having spent over 20 years in the advertising business and no longer being challenged by my job I decided to incorporate my passion for vintage inspired furnishings into my everyday life by establishing Vintage Nest. Vintage Nest gives me the opportunity to share my passion with others who enjoy decorating their homes with elegant, time-worn pieces.
A mother of two small children with a growing volunteer schedule I knew Vintage Nest would have to satisfy my need to explore my dream as well as maintain a balanced home life. 
Therefore, Vintage Nest only opens its doors to the public one weekend per month.Customers are notified by postcard of upcoming sales as well as email announcements.
Vintage: classic, mature, rare, time-honored, enduring, superior

Nest: a place affording snug refuge or lodging; a home

  7. Great photos Mark. I feel terrible that I haven't made it out to see Mindy's new store. It's on my list of things to do. I knew you would give it that extra something. I'm so glad she has a bigger space now.
