items From someone with the deepest love of vintage and antique items, who also happens to be on a budget. Here’s spots that I’ve checked out in Chicago and how I’d group them based on what you’re willing to spend.

If you’re down to splurge
For any budget
Some affordable items, some splurge worthy—shops that you don’t NEED to save up for months before entering.
Mostly decor and furniture, with a small section of clothing, accessories, and shoes. I’ve seen items $15+, but there is no shortage of unique items that you’ll treasure forever
Warehouse 55
GREAT price point for what you get. This place has a TON of clothes, shoes, books, decor, furniture—the whole nine.
Green Element Resale
Small shop, large variety of antiques. It’s got art, trinkets, smaller furniture pieces (accent tables and such), lamps… I could go on. Prices are great for what you get.
Mercantile M (@mercantile_m) · Chicago, IL
Half furniture/decor, half clothing/shoes/accessories. Closer to thrift prices, but you can absolutely find great additions to your home and/or wardrobe here on a budget.
The Brown Elephant - Andersonville
Some items in here are super expensive, but the store is full of so many things that you’d be able to find something more affordable. I will say for the items that will catch your eye the most, they may fall into my splurge section of this list. SO f...
Andersonville Antiques
Probably one of the biggest antique markets I’ve seen. It’s got some of the coolest furniture pieces on both floors (a little pricey), but some of the decor, clothing, and shoes are pretty affordable. By affordable though I don’t mean thrift store pr...
Broadway Antique Market

If price is nothing but a number, get here nowww
Everything in this store is gorgeous, but it’s not cheap I’ll tell you that right now. If you’re needing great quality, unique, modern pieces for your home, it’s so worth the look. Even if it’s out of budget, I loved walking around to get inspo for m...
Dial M For Modern
Truly one of the most beautiful stores I’ve set foot in. Any where I look, there’s something I wish I could buy. Lots of one-of-a-kind pottery here too.
My Modern Oasis
Three floor architectural salvage store full of iconic items. Putting this in the splurge list because the best pieces (imo) came with a decent price tag. But there are some items in the mix that aren’t as expensive.
