Rich Girls Rummage This small shop, tucked away in a busy strip mall, is the new kid in town. It's been open just over a year, but this up-and-coming store holds its own with an eclectic selection of furniture, home goods, and art.
One thing that sets this shop apart from the rest is the artwork that adorns the walls, all for sale and created by local artists. Rich Girls also takes trade-ins, so re-vamping your space is easy as pie. We're kicking ourselves for not walking away with this gorgeous set of chairs; the smaller priced at $30.

This store is home to 38 unique showrooms and everything in this place conveys class. Wandering through each hallway, it's obvious each vendor has an eye for quality, stylish, and timeless pieces.
The Victorian-era items are swoon-worthy, and the mid-century section was the most impressive we've seen to date. Our favorites pieces included this Sputnik Lamp at $300 and a Victorian tufted headboard at $2,850. Individual vendor markdowns range from 10 to 75 percent off listed prices.
Vintage Parlor This is another up-and-coming shop that shouldn't be overlooked. This small space is filled with great estate finds, clothing, housewares, and jewelry. Stop in and you're likely to leave with more than one item. Prices vary greatly depending on the piece. We found this retro dining set at $199, as well as vintage shabby desk chairs ranging from $30 to $40 each.
