Swank Interiors

I will never forget the day I first saw the sign to this shop, I thought «Now this is gonna be a place for me ! «
So I went in and low and behold I found a «Cracked» magazine with «Planet of the Apes» on the cover I had been looking for since 1975 when I lived in Jackson, Mississippi.
When I walked in there I was right at home, I love it there.
The downstairs is a little hard to navigate, but the overall feel of this place more than makes up for it.
Check it out some time, when you have a few hours to kill, you’re gonna need at least that much.

The reason I love this place most is that the prices are fair. Swank has the coolest retro furniture and home furnishings. The little mod room in the back right of the store is the cutest. Definitely worth the trip. A few of the other retro furniture shops in the area are ridiculously overpriced. I would skip those all together and just head for Swank. It’s the best bet.

Swank offers a great selection of furnishings and art with a little clothing sprinkled in. I loved the vibe of this shop. The displays were great, the store was organized and you could browse easily. I ended up buying a solid walnut coffee table for a steal, a cute vintage blouse and a couple of velvet paintings. I walked away very happy! The sales people were friendly and helpful too.
I can’t wait to save up some more money and go back!

This place is deceptive. You enter, maybe look around the back room. Then you see the basement. Then you see that the basement has another room to it. Yep, it’s huge.
Loads of 50s era dishes and glassware. Lots of 60s and 70s light fixtures. But this place sells everything from sofas to velvet paintings to televisions. All kinds of wonderful. Prices are reasonable too.
Downside? Only open Friday Saturday Sunday.

I love this place. It can be a little overwhelming, what with all the amazing mid century colors and patterns and all, but geeeez louise! I scored a pair of fantastic salmon colored fiberglass shell bar stool here for a steal. Al behind the counter was really great. I have to be careful driving by it on University because I’m always rubber-​necking to see what they have out on the side walk.

I’m a fan of the experience, that’s for sure.
Walk through the front door of this store and prepare yourself to feel like you’re stepping out of a time machine. At least three times we gasped, «Nah uh! We used to have this/​these!» From TV tables to antinque Pyrex dishes, fondue pots to train suitcases, religious paint-​by-​numbers to a can opener that was larger than a toaster.
Color, texture, materials — and even a bit of an old-​timer smell. It definitely is a step back and a step into kinda place.

When I walked in this store, I felt as if the Mother Ship had called me home! Seriously. I could honestly just move in the place and easily call it home. I’d want for nothing.
The place has everything I love, reasonably priced. I am envious of the owner and all that get to work in this cool store.
I am in love.

I have a small obsession with velvet paintings — and by «small» I actually mean I have problems. I mean, people have actually treated me like I have a contagious disease after I’ve shown them my collection. Swank has so many velvet paintings that I’m pretty sure I should have changed my pants after leaving the store. They even had my «holy grail» — the last supper. Good lord.
I don’t know how I should feel about how many times I said «we have that in our house!» We moved into my grandparents’ old house and Swank would probably kick my ass for all of the stuff I’ve taken to Savers in an attempt to clear out the clutter.
Everything here is really reasonably priced, honest. If you are looking for the best stuff made in the 50s, 60s and 70s, you must go to Swank. MUST.

my new favorite piece of heaven.
this store is amazing, I thought this before I knew there was a back room or a basement! great selection, super friendly staff, fair to cheap prices, set up perfectly! I can not say enough about this store except I wanna live there.
50’s –70’s kitsch and collectables. they have it all.
YUM!

Furniture, accessories and accouterments with a mid-​century modern focus. Lots of Danish modern, but you will find «Father Knows Best» 50s and «Brady Bunch» 70s as well. Lots of interesting glassware and tableware, often in complete sets. Even a bit of clothing for fun. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable but won’t bird-​dog you around the store if you only want to browse. You will be pleased.
