Ever since we opened, people have always asked, “are you ever going to sell vintage?” To which we always replied, “maybe, at some point, if it makes sense.” Well, we finally decided that it does make sense and “at some point” is now!
We both grew up in families of collectors and are big fans of vintage housewares and clothing (as anyone who has been to either of our houses can attest). And while vintage may not fit into our mission statement of “contemporary design,” it’s definitely unique, which is another quality we try to achieve in our products. So we are officially on the hunt for the coolest one-of-a-kind vintage finds for you and yours! Starting, um, last week, look for lots of “new” vintage items, from decorative pottery to fancy frocks. Check out the images below for a sneak peek!
P.S. Grand will close at 3:00 p.m. this Saturday, July 4th to celebrate the holiday. We hope you all have an awesome day!

Come join us for our monthly Sip & Shop!
This month we’ll be partnering with some of the tastiest gin to come out of the UK – Plymouth English Gin! This is gin that Americans have been drinking since the time of the Pilgrims. What’s the name of the town they landed in? Oh yeah, right, Plymouth!
And yummy cocktails are just half of it. Don’t forget, everything in the store will be 10% off!

We’re happy to announce that the Shepard Fairey piece that we’ve had up outside of Grand is now restored to its original GLORY!
As some of you know Shepard came to Grand last October to construct this piece which was subsequently vandalized a few months back. You can see more about we’re talking about here.
In any event we’re excited it’s back!
Come on by to check it out!
