I have a major weakness for all things retro. Perusing a good vintage shop or antique market is a real-life treasure hunt that’s yielded some of my favorite household items. I think, too, these shops remind me of my grandparents’ house, which was filled with knick knacks and decor that delighted me as a kid. As an adult, it’s fun to peruse these places with an open mind, letting inspiration lead the way. And if you’re like me and you also love all things vintage, mid-century modern, and retro, then The Little Light Collective in Columbus, Ohio, is sure to become your happy place, too.

Sometimes, you go into a vintage shop and the whole experience feels a bit... chaotic. Claustrophobic, even. There can be order within this chaos, but for someone who is admittedly very Type A, this isn't my favorite way to shop.

Everything about this vintage co-op is, well, cool. The furniture, decor, and clothes come from 35+ different vendors, yet the inventory feels cohesive and harmonious.

Speaking of "unique," some of the items for sale at The Little Light Collective are unabashedly kitschy and totally awesome; home decor accents that are conversation pieces and true style statements.

And in another nod to the past, the window displays at The Little Light Collective are true works of art. These ever-changing pastiches harken back to the days of department stores "going big" with their showroom windows, and the Instagrammable window displays here are wonderfully postmodern and captivating.
