Hip and Funky Finds at Retro Ranch

Every piece has personality at Retro Ranch. The Melrose District boutique is small but packed with a mix of Midcentury modern and Hollywood Regency decor -- pieces with clean lines but bold colors, ornamental trimmings, and over-the-top patterns.

Retro Ranch is thrifty and hip, with antique dinnerware stacked on top of antique tables on top of antique rugs. A Stinkweeds listening booth plays modern indie rock, and there's a room of vintage clothing, shoes and handbags for women, with a smaller collection of clothing for men. The store's inventory is funky and glamorous, but the prices are blissfully modest.

Splurge
