Orange Ave Estate, Salvage and Garden

I don’t want this addiction. You know, the antiquing addiction. So I try to avoid these places like the plague unless I’m looking for something extraordinary as I was this day. And this gallery is a treasure especially because it’s so close and so packed with the addictive stuff. Room after room of it. It’s easy to see how people get hooked. I always bump into them during my searches when they’re not paying any attention to me but are focused solely on their next find-​fix. You can see it in their wild deer-​in-​the-​headlight eyes, hear it in their over-​the-​top discoveries with friends or as they mumble incoherent to themselves. No, I don’t want this addiction, I’ve had my share. In fact, sometimes I still catch myself mumbling incoherent to myself. But if I ever do get this one, I’ll know where to find some of the good stuff. I’ll head over to my antique candy-​land, $ 26 in my hand*.

This has been one of life saving antique stores. We bought a home in California heights and with that, came the fact that we needed 1920’s cape cod style furnishings. This place has stuff on the regular and it definitely makes for a fun experience shopping!

I never leave empty handed when i shop at Orange Ave Estate… great peeps, excellent customer service, cool stuff at great prices!

It’s been a while since I’ve been «junkin’» as we use to call it. This little gem has a lot of cute stuff. Everything from birdbaths, to succulent gardens, to antiques, to some junky stuff.
What did I walk away with? A vintage pink pyrex casserole dish. LOVE. And it was well priced at $ 12. Sometimes that stuff is so overpriced, but not here. I was hoping to take a paint by numbers forest scene, but I talked myself out of it.
I would definitely come back to check out the new stuff every now and then. The associate behind the counter said they rotate out with the season.
A new find!

Love this store! I cannot tell you how many great items they get in there. I’ve literally decorated my home with some very nice antiques from them and mostly because of their reasonable prices and willingness to go lower on the prices.
We’ve all been in some stores where you see something you love but the price scares us away. Not here! Have fun finding good deals and unique hardware, antique items used for crafts, patio and garden furniture, trees and whatever else you can think of.
Also love the organization. Everything is grouped in groups that make sense.
Thanks to Leslie and Jody, I never go anywhere else.

Fun store to shop in. The ladies are superb at customer service and very generous! I an happy with the prices and everything I find here.

We always find the best stuff at great prices here! I have always found the staff happy to help and chat.

Went in not looking for anything, found some amazing 30s porch lights that needed some cleanup, but could not believe the $ 18 each price! These would literally be 3 or 4 times that place at any other shop in town.
Great finds to be had. Really like caliber and price of stuff there, not the overpriced stuff you see at other places.

Best service!!! Great prices!!! Amazing customer service!!!
Period
This antique store is one of the best I’ve gone and I have gone to many (Orange, South Bay, Nor Cal)
The items you can find here are good quality, in many cases like new or pristine condition
But most of all I fell in love with the ladies, they really know how to run shop, creating a comfortable environment while remaining kind and approachable… not many stores can say that
5 stars earned all the way

I bought an armless leather chair here for my desk for 20 bucks!
This place has got deals. I was scouring a bunch of other consignment, antique and flea markets for a metal kitchen piece to store some appliances on. I eventually gave up and bought a wooden cart from IKEA.
Then I walk into Orange Ave. and see just what I pictured and for a good price. Too bad I already bought that damn cart from the Swedes.
Moral of the story? Check out this place first.
Also, they sell some hip California plants out in the back.

I love my new bookcase I picked up over the weekend it’s perfect in my kids room.
We always find something we’re looking for. Thanks for having always revolving merchandise and a great store.

I was recently on vacation in Long Beach, Calif. I always look for vintage stores when I travel, best places to find gifts. I happened upon Orange Ave… Oh — what a find. Great merchandise, with very reasonable prices. If I found similar items at home (I’m from the East coast), I probably couldn’t afford. If I lived nearby I would furnish my house with their «finds». It’s one of those stores you don’t know where to look first, it’s all so appealing.
The staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I was told their merchandise has a quick turnover,(everything is vintage & one of kind) so if you fall in love with something, best to buy it on the spot or it might be gone!
This store sells a wide assortment of things, gently aged vintage furniture, vintage jewelry, handmade one of a kind cards (made with vintage paper!)little knick knacks, accessories for decorating, lighting fixtures — chandeliers! (my favorite) and so much more. I got lovely gifts for all my friends and I didn’t have to break the bank. Next time I’m in the area, I will definitely have visiting this store on my wish list.

I stop by at least once a week and always find something «new» that I must have. A great deal of my garden has come from the plants they have in the back. It’s like going through someones attic and basement, the more you look, the more you find, and if they don’t have it Leslie, the owner, will help you find it if she can. Somebody else said it smelled in the store and it does. It smells of old books and memories. Sometimes I just go to say hi to everybody even if I’m not looking to buy anything and end up finding a «must have». Love this store!

I have had the same experience with the counter help not responding, but I’m an older guy. Maybe they thought I didn’t need any help in browsing. After, that’s what it is all about.
Recently I met the owner and sold a few small things. Very nice person and very dedicated to her mission. Lots of things in there. You’ll need a second and third visit to take it all in.

I live in California Heights (lucky me :) and drop by Orange Avenue Estate when I’m in the mood to do some treasure hunting. This store is wonderful. Don’t let the storefront fool you! The space is much larger than it appears on the outside and it is so well layed out and merchandised, you can spend lots and lots of time poking around. The prices are very reasonable and there’s something here for everyone. Great furniture, great knick-​knacks, amazing artwork and cute, cute, cute! Pay them a visit, check out the equally wonderful Vintage Emporium across the street, wrap it up with a great meal at Blackbird Café and spend some time in the best historical neighborhood in Long Beach.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this store. I would go everyday if I could. There is always something new to see! The woman who own it is great and she is always helpful with ideas. Their prices are amazing and she is always willing to hagle with you! When your done at Orange Ave — you can hop over to Babes and have a burger!

This place is my hunting ground for photography props and wedding décor. The ladies are so helpful and have interesting information about all of the unique pieces. There are different people that contribute and the spaces are all stylized with a nice presentation.
Vintage, retro, DIY ideas, furniture and fun finds. I I can’t get over how much I love this place and the prices are AWESOME! I’m going to have to stop in to get my Orange Ave fix for this week.

I just love this store. I own a retro styled salon and I am always looking for fun things to add to our décor and this place fits the bill. I have never walked out of there empty handed! The prices are very reasonable and there is always somthing new (well, old, but you know what I mean).
The owner is always friendly and remembers us when we stop in, which is so nice. Definitely check this place out!

Super cute little store to have a little walk through.

This is my favorite new store. I have been the three times in a week. Their prices are reasonable and their selection is extensive. I keep finding things to spend my money on. Leslie, owner, is great. I love their concept and the fact that they are locally owned.
Check it out, if antiques and repurposing are your thang!
