Yesternook

Yesternook is a shops of good finds! Like stumbling in a building of interesting thrift shop and yardsale pieces. While the furniture isn't in the best condition, it's also not terrible and may inspire some to up-cycle it. For all items I really appreciate the prices - so fair, which is not the norm. The ladies working today were very friendly and helpful. While we didn't make a purchase today, I'm excited to come back and keep hunting.

Find this shop on Logan Street, near the Logan Street market. Make the quick walk or drive to visit!

I'm going to put this at three stars. The old location would've easily been 5 stars. While I still dream about the old location, this new location just isn't the same. Yesternook of yesteryear will be missed.

This new location is much smaller. While there's stuff to look at, it's not filled with stuff. One of the things I loved about the old location was that you could go in there with nothing in mind and find something that you definitely could use.

With the old location, you could spend a couple of hours in there. You could get completely lost. With this location, 20 to 30 minutes at most but you'll likely be in and out within 10 minutes. I was extremely disappointed. It seems like they're focusing more on art and furniture rather than the odd random things that you'd find at Yesternook of yesteryear.

Someone told me that they have room to expand but after visiting the new location I just don't see it happening. I hope they stick around. I loved the old location. After checking out the new location, I didn't see anything that would make me want to go back.

Yesternook is one of my favorite antique/vintage stores in the area! We will often head across the river for the explicit purpose of checking out what is new and finding something that we clearly can't continue to live without. Frankly, I don't know how we've gotten on this long without having ______ in our home.

I live in a virtual time capsule of mid century furnishings. Yesternook caters pretty heavily to this era while leaning forward a bit into the 70's and 80's at times. This massive house has a TON of stuff including furniture, books, lighting, clocks, dishes, salt and pepper shakers, knick knacks, chotchkies... you get the idea. Lot of stuff. And most of it is in good repair!

Out back is Godfrey's Garage, their version of a rough room. Check there if you don't mind fixing up some furniture yourself.

Ownership recently changed hands and I've seen prices go up a little. The new owners also look like they are trying to make the building nicer with recent floor work.

A great place to spend some time, make fun of silly products and find something you can't live without.

This is a fun little store to browse through. We've picked up quite a few things from here over the years. Even better than the store though are the owners. Eric is a great guy and his wife is friendly as well. It'll be sad when the store actually closes and they're not around any more. It'll be almost as sad as when they closed their delicious barbecue joint, Smoketown Barbecue (home of the famous Redneck Jew ). The pictures I'm attaching include the most recent art we've bought from them as well as a table we've had for several years. Other acquisitions include a pose able skeleton, cow skull, horizontal filing cabinet and a tiny bike just to name a few things. Hurry in to see them before they're gone.

So. Much. Cute.

My roommate and I were on the search for a kitchen table and chairs. The ones we saw here were lovely (though too large for our small apartment) but they had several very decent sets, a table and 4 or 5 chairs for under $100. And that's not to even mention all the other awesome, strange, cute, cool stuff in the rest of the store.

And there are soooo many rooms! The place just keeps on going. There was at least one thing in every room that I wanted to buy.
Once we have our new place sorted out and I have money again, I will be back here.

I don't know how I've not reviewed Yesternook until now. I love this little Germantown gem!

On my most recent visit I got a small side table for $8.99 from the garage (markdown room) and two milk glass vases for $2 each. These items would have sold for much more at other consignment shops around Lou! I loved how helpful the staff were when I had questions too. The cashier handed me a flyer for their Holiday Open House and I can't wait to check it out!!

In the past I've bought several wooden pieces of furniture that were is good shape, and I painted them to give them my own flair! There is a great selection of mid-century modern furniture at Yesternook. Those pieces sell for much more around town. Most are in beautiful condition too. I love the oddities most about the store. They have some VERY creepy posters from circuses of long ago. (They are the stuff that nightmares are made of if you are scared of clowns!) There was a women's dance costume (leotard) from the 1950's. They have much of what you'd expect in a consignment shop at extremely reasonable prices. Let's just say I've never been to Yesternook and not bought something.

I am also intrigued that the building that houses Yesternook was once a funeral home. I love old houses and this is a big building with lots of little rooms of consignment furniture (that once had dead people in them)! It's proximity to The Post and Four Pegs, two of the best places to eat in Louisville, doesn't hurt either!

Yesternook is definitively my favorite place to look for antiques and all kinds of fun curiosities here in Lou. After my first trip there, I walked out with a large vintage amber apothecary bottle $4, a mason jar full of Amethysts $3 and a gorgeous brass plant stand $8.

This place is such a fun little goldmine if you are looking for odds + ends, as well as furniture too!

This is a cozy little antiques and vintage mall in an old funeral home on Goss Ave. I enjoy shopping here. I do wish they had faster turnover of merchandise as I'm in there browsing at least twice a month. (Also my barber shop is across the street). There is a fair amount of neat 50s and 60s items. Check it out!

Yesternook is a spacious antique mall with a wide variety of offerings. You've got your bigger stuff like furniture (kitchen tables/chairs, patio sets, chairs) and plenty of smaller knick knacks and collectibles. They have a pretty good offering of mid-century modern decor, as well as some re-purposed and repainted furniture. The prices vary by booth, but they lean kind of between mid and expensive ranges. If you want a real bargain go to Tickled Pink on Taylor Blvd- I'm sure that's where many of the vendors here shop.
It's still a neat place to look, of course. Go get some pizza next door, then walk it off at the antique mall. Sounds like a perfect date to me!

This place is great. You could get lost in here just looking at everything. There little garage out back has gently used furniture but it is in great shape and really fairly priced! Inside there more furniture and everything you could image, jewelry, lighting, comics, books, toys, knick-knacks, retro posters, old street signs and so much more. It great place if you're looking for something to liven up your living space. Definitely check this place out.
