Write-up in Celebrate Arkansas Magazine!

Yay! Yay! Yay!

Urban Antiques was featured on Celebrate Magazine's Website Blog!

I sent out press releases to a TON of area publications (and some national ones too. hey, you never know how big this thing is going to get) and just saw that it was featured in the BLOG section of the website for Celebrate Arkansas Magazine! We are so excited and honored! Celebrate is a wonderful magazine that does a top-notch job of covering all that is Arkansas, and we are beyond thrilled that they included us!

Thank you Dana Sargent and Celebrate Magazine!

Urban Antiques at Impressions

If you are a lover of cute furniture AND a lover of fabulous clothes and jewelry, the perfect event for you in happening tomorrow night! We are so excited that the ladies at Impressions Boutique in Fayetteville have asked us to bring a few pieces to showcase at their annual Back-to-School Ladies Night! Stop by on Thursday, August 26th for good shopping plus wine and snacks! What more could you ask for?! This is the debut of a new style of Urban Antiques furniture - specifically for the wonderful customers of Impressions! We are so excited and hope to see you there tomorrow night!

Here are a few of the items we will have there with us:

New Locations

Hello Urban Antiques fans! I pleased and sentimental to announce that Urban Antiques is now in its last month at the Fayetteville Trading Post. This shopping center will always hold a special place in our hearts as the home to our very first retail endeavor! We have learned so much about business, marketing, money, furniture, customers, and ourselves and can not thank the Fayetteville Trading Post enough for housing a brand-new company while we got on our feet! We are currently looking for our next space (rumors are a great, tucked-away studio/retail space on Dickson Street!), and we are also in talks with several wonderful retailers throughout Northwest Arkansas to stock Urban Antiques items on consignment. Get in all your Urban Antiques shopping runs at the Fayetteville Trading Post before September 20th!

We will keep you updated on our next location(s) as soon we know them ourselves!

Thank you for all of your support during this first phase in our journey!

House Warming

Today we (Lasun and Laurie) started getting set up at the Fayetteville Trading Post! Our booth is all clean and clear, and Lasun has painted the walls a gorgeous gray-ish taupe. Just enough color to be interesting, but not too much to overpower all the fabulous pieces of furniture it will be surrounding! For the next few days, we will be putting finishing touches on several wonderful tables, chairs, and home decor items and moving them to their new home (and your new favorite place to shop): our booth at 2600 North College Avenue, Fayetteville, Arkansas! Hope to see everyone there on opening day - July 1st!

Counting down to moving day!

There are only 10 more days until Urban Antiques opens shop at our new home - The Fayetteville Trading Post! We are so excited! And by excited I mean a nice combination of joy and nerves. We have several pieces completely finished and ready to go (watch for pictures to be up soon or check our Facebook page), even more great pieces awaiting their paint transformation at Lasun's very capable hands, and tons of great home decor ideas still floating around Laurie's head, just waiting to come to fruition. Mark your calendar, set your GPS (2600 North College Avenue, Fayetteville, Arkansas), and get ready for a truly unique furniture shopping experience!
