It’s been crazy to see the vintage and antiquing craze explode across HGTV and the internet in the last few years. Some folks attribute the uptick in old-school glamour due to a deluge of historical television shows (anyone else obsessed with reruns of “Mad Men”?) whereas others nod their head to distressed farmhouse diva Joanna Gaines for her Texas-bred inspiration. No matter where you’re getting your inspiration, antique shops are experiencing an upheaval of interest, and Knoxville’s Retrospect Vintage Store is just the place to indulge your inner antique lover.
Retrospect Vintage Store touts itself as a "one-stop shop," and in this case we have to agree. It's a space that's bursting with energy and creativity, one that truly sets it apart from the spades of antique shops throughout the state.
From the moment you step inside you're caught up in a feeling of sweet nostalgia and fun, low-key design. The staff does a great job with item display and design, making it easy to imagine quirky new pieces in your own living space.
It's truly like a step back in time. Whether you're looking to evoke '70s mod or '90s grunge, the ever-changing styles and furniture pieces make for an enjoyable treasure hunt every time.
Retrospect Vintage Store is located at 1121 N Central Street in Knoxville, Tennessee, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays. Happy hunting!
