After stopping in Ermine Vintage in North Loop, I walked a couple of doors down to Hog Wild Vintage. When I walked in, it was a bit darker than I expected, but the buzzing ceiling fans and the friendly greeting of the shop manager made me feel so welcome. I looked around to take it all in and the space just opened up in front of me. You can see the whole place from the front door and I was excited to check out all the different displays. Their furniture selection is was really brought me in. Our search for the perfect mid-century coffee table seems to be never ending and Hog Wild's website had me optimistic that I might find something fun. I didn't end up finding the table of my dreams, but saw so much more that I wanted to take home with me!
You really can see the whole space from the front of the store, and that makes it easy to spot all the awesome stuff you want to buy. |
The beauty is in the details. Hog Wild's displays are carefully put together and showcase collectibles in with the decor. If you collect salt and pepper shakers, definitely pop by and check out their selection. And the cups in the top left look to be a larger part of a collection that goes with a glass I saw at Out of the Past. |
Quasi self-portrait and beautiful clocks. And pink lamps! There was something I wanted to take home in each section of the shop. |
How great is this display? Who doesn't love a vintage suitcase? I wish modern suitcases had a little more style like this. Though, my current luggage is pink...and that's awesome. |
I just love everything about this photo. |
