DALLAS SHOPS ON OUR RADAR
We've already got a few shops on our list, so we welcome any comments, updates, corrections or first-hand experiences you've had with these sources.
- 20C Design: Their collection of vintage-inspired decorative objects is a great place to look for bell jars and glass domes, baskets, unique tabletop pieces and elegant furnishings.
- Lula B's Antique Mall: Retro furniture, eclectic accessories, and whatever falls under their label of "cool stuff for cool people."
- Century Modern: A great online resource for mid-century furniture with an offline 5,000 square foot warehouse that's fully stocked with vintage pieces.
- Haven: A well curated collection of tabletop, glassware, and accessories in the West Village.
- Sputnik Modern: Vintage pieces by A-list mid-century designers.
- Forty Five Ten: Decorative objects and tabletop by Heath Ceramics, John Derian, Martha Sturdy, as well as clothing and lifestyle stuff. They're celebrating their 10-year anniversary in Dallas this year.
- Collage 20th Century Classics: From their site: "Abby and Wlodek Malowanczyk have been in Dallas, Texas since 1990 and display their range of collectable pieces in an 8,500 square foot space in the Dallas Design District where clients come from around the world to add special items to their collections."
- Vinya: Vintage consignment pieces and high-end designer lines, from Holly Hunt to Mid-C heavy hitters.
- La Mariposa: Full of kitschy Southwestern decor, as well as some really Mexican imports, including Otomi bedspreads and Talavera mirrors.

"Leave a quick comment on this post with a link to your favorite Atlanta store" No, that's not cut & paste at all :)
I'd put a vote in for Eurway.
We are 1976 the best indie store going in dallas.
Little Bean Shop for the coolest kids/baby clothes from the coolest kids/baby store in Dallas.
Lula B's is a great store. Hit up the one on Riverfront and you can also go to
White Elephant Antiques. It's a great selection if you can afford it (I can't).
Bows and Arrows for beautiful bouquets and a great store featuring quirky items a la areaware.
Go southwest..away from Dallas!! The Dallas shops listed are great but come on! 3k for a pair of lamps?! I hit the antique circuit regularly and you can find the SAME designer pieces in Benbrook, Cresson, Granbury, Stephenville, Glen Rose.....
Grandma's Attic in Cresson just had a Heywood-Wakefield 5-piece dining set for $375!!!!!
Get on 20W and drive.....you'll hit these shops starting after you leave Fort Worth......
Benbrook Antique Mall
Burgess Antiques
Wheatland General Store
Grandma's Attic- Owner is Margie and she is a doll!!!
There's plenty in between these and after but you won't be disappointed!!! The best deals are OUT of the major cities!
I love it when you guys do shopping features on cities besides New York, San Fran, etc. Keep them coming! :)
I love Nicholson Hardie and Into the Garden. Both are garden shops with great indoor/outdoor decor.
Nicholson Hardie is my favorite place to look for terrariums, bell cloches, and decor! Garden lovers cannot miss this one!
@Rob in PDX, lol. Thanks, fixed the typo.
I second Lula B's. Also try Curiosities in Lakewood. Very similar to Uncommon Objects in Austin!
Horchow finale!
Gypsy Wagon, Form, Grange Hall, ID, Mecox, Vote 2 for Little Bean
Seconding Grandma's Attic.
Canton (http://www.cantonfleamarket.com/index.html) is also worth the drive! My favorite flea market when I was little!!!
And if you're looking for a day trip, I'd head down to the Hillsboro/Waco area; I grew up around there and still love going back and hitting up all the old antique and thrift stores in the middle of nowhere.
I second Curiosities in Lakewood, it's pretty fun. Pretty strange fun.
Also just a note, Lula B's main location is now in Deep Ellum, not by Greenville anymore. And while you're in Deep Ellum, you must go to Twisted Root, Two Sisters, or Pepe and Mito's for lunch. :]
I love Again and Again off Henderson. They have some awesome furniture finds, though some pieces are a little pricey, it is still great to look around! I also agree with emcquire, Curiosities is great! I collect C's, R's and ampersands and have found a lot of great ones there.
Whoops! Forgot my links, these websites don't show very much so just go and see for yourself if you can!
againandagain.com
www.getcuriosities.com
Only go to Twisted Root if you want to wait up to an hour for a burger and then get attitude by the staff for asking them if they've it already. Also, they get mad if you use a cellphone, or wear a tie, which is stupid 'cause the only reason to be near downtown in the middle of the day is to work.
Hey Rob in PDX, Eurway is going out of business and I heard they have some pretty good sales right now.
I personally LOVE Lula B's and I'm a big fan of Goodwill hopping (its how I've gotten some of my best pieces)!
