Vintage and midcentury modern furniture are universal trends right now when it comes to home decor in Kane County. For 12,000 square feet of hardto-find, one-of-a-kind furniture, wall decor and more, The Vintage Marketplace Co. is your destination. The store has a “wowing” effect upon arrival, says co-owner Stacy Gyuricza. Four different styles of chic, unique furniture and decor are visible from the door, creating an experience that makes for varied, easy browsing. Gyuricza and her husband, Mike, started fresh and opened the store last June after the former owners closed the business. Previously, the two were avid furniture restorers, creating a natural route to owning The Vintage Marketplace Co. The store is tastefully designed. “We stage everything so that you can have a visual to inspire,” Gyuricza says, noting the couple’s approximately 50 vendors carry “a really good mix of styles.” Those styles include boho, midcentury modern, grand millennial, farmhouse and other eclectic items. The non-furniture items are hard to find in other stores, including oneof-a-kind pillows, art, plants, mirrors and handmade items. “It’s clean, very organized,” says Gyuricza, noting that’s something they hear often from customers. Vintage stores can feel crowded — but not The Vintage Marketplace. Gyuricza says the team has prioritized making sure the store flows well and there is ample aisle space for everyone. The Vintage Marketplace Co. is currently decorated for fall — you’ll find decorative signs, handmade pumpkins and so much more. After Halloween, be sure to mark your calendars for the Nov. 6 “All I Want for Christmas” sale, where you’ll get 15% off everything in stock. “If it speaks to you, it’s probably something you need,” says Gyuricza, whose motto is “go big” when it comes to design. The team updates their Facebook page frequently with newly stocked items, so following along will ensure you stay on top of recent arrivals and upcoming events. Gyuricza has coined a term to describe her store: “modish,” a combination of modern and stylish. The Vintage Marketplace Co. is your spot for all things modish.
