Georgetown is rapidly becoming the destination of choice if you’re looking for some funky, hip vintage home décor.  In the last eight months, two new vintage furnishing shops, DIGS Vintage & Antiques and Useful Vintage Goods have arrived on the scene, joining Kirk Albert Vintage Furnishings (formerly Great Stuff Seattle), Susan Wheeler Home and Fruitcocktail Collectibles in what many call Seattle’s “Design District.”

Designer Dixie Stark and her husband, Jay, opened DIGS Vintage & Antiques six months ago. The shop is an offshoot of Dixie’s eponymous furniture showroom Dixie Stark Home, which showcases her own furniture collection, as well as other lines in Dixie’s signature style, which she defines as “tailored contemporary furnishings with traditional influences mixed with a dose of vintage and pops of color.” Both businesses are housed in incredible buildings built by the Starks and made from international cargo containers.

The Starks work with local dealers and consigners to fill DIGS with an impressive array of antiques (more than 100 years old), vintage pieces (at least 25 years old) and collectibles (tchotchkes) ranging in price from $12 for a circa 1970s figurine just bad enough to be good, to thousands for stately European pieces.

With three floors to meander through, DIGS is chock full of art, furniture, jewelry, lamps, tables, chairs, cabinets, treasures and found objects too eclectic to categorize, but with high enough style to fit proudly into the finest homes.

DIGS Vintage & Antiques is located at 612 South Lucile St., Seattle 98108. The phone number is (206) 651-4115 and the shop is open 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday, noon- 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sundays by chance.

From the magazine:  ”…Stepping onto Seattle’s green scene are three freshly opened shops featuring products that fulfill your eco-consious interests…Dixie Stark Home, which is owned by interior designer Dixie Stark, offers romantically re-imagined vintage pieces housed within a recycled cargo-container structure.  Each of these shops are as unique as their owners, and each encourages Seattleites to embraces a less wasteful – and more stylish – lifestyle.”

“Featuring a vintage French chair with mohair seat and Greek key trim, and a Scalamandre vintage fabric pillow with new silk tassel trim”
