About Us
home economics was founded in october of 2006.
our "household goods, vintage & otherwise..." tag line succinctly describes our store.
we champion the combination of style, quality construction and value in vintage and antique furniture. we've layered new product lines on top of that solid base in a way that reflects our customers' lifestyles.
our "small town store with big city style" was featured in country living magazine's september issue as prop stylists for a rogue creamery article in the food section...in july we worked with mary engelbreit's home companion and country living magazines...in october we worked with home companion again...now we just have to be patient until next july and october.
"something for everything...traditional with a twist...sizzling style at prices that don't burn the budget"
come visit our new downtown showroom sharing space with h street antiques at 138 s.e. "h" street, directly across from the historic rogue theater.

What's New?
the focal point for home economics' couture collection is belgian fashion house "just in case" led by designers vicky vinck & katrien strijbol partnered with steven & els van roy, fourth generation owners of an embroidery workshop in antwerp.
"just in case" clothing is sold in exclusive boutiques in paris, milan, london, barcelona, helsinki, moscow, berlin, amsterdam, los angeles & new york.
their "couture" garments redefine the "new romanticism" sweeping through high fashion today. simultaneously demure & seductive, their designs synthesize the glamour of audrey hepburn & the quirkiness of sarah jessica parker's character, carrie bradshaw, from sex & the city.
many pieces include bold embroidery, lush appliques, hand beaded details & intricate lacework.
Normally tagged at $200-$500, our selection of camisoles, sweaters, skirts, dresses & blazers from "just in case" are priced from $65-$175.

our couture selection also includes garments from local designer, danielle celeste. her ethereal dress-up hoodies reinterpret the lowly zip-up sweatshirt into outerwear worthy of a black tie event or upgrading a casual t-shirt & jean pairing.
danielle was gracious enough to partner with home economics on a few select jackets combining vintage elements for "eco-friendly couture."
we also carry individual pieces by the following designers: max nugus (created glenn close's tuxedo for the academy awards), emmanuel ungaro, karen zambos, alfred sung, cynthia rowley, marianne kooimans, kite+butterfly, tocca, and more...sizes from 2 to 2X...priced at a fraction of regular retail.
outrageously romantic costume jewelry fashioned from austrian crystals completes the look with prices from $5 to $20.
new work by local artist sue hadden - featured in autumn issues of home companion, distinctly northwest & southern exposure magazines - also arrives just in time for christmas.

Merchandise We Carry
home economics stocks an eclectic & unexpected mix of old & new merchandise...the bulk of our furniture, lighting & accessories are vintage & antique.
recent additions: the prettiest german gothic hutch we've ever seen...etched glass displays above are balanced by burl doors below and hand carved fruit garlands.
machine-age aluminum side chairs upholstered in plush cheetah, zebra and leopard patterns for mixing and matching.
a jaw-dropping store fixture from a san luis obispo pharmacy & other furniture from the twenties through the sixties.
home economics' intriguing mix of new product lines has been revamped for spring:
when giving gifts, folks often say, "it's the thought that counts." we've put a whole bunch of thought into providing a great selection of "thoughtful" gifts for under $20.
perfect during the holidays and anytime you need a gift that shows just how much you think of someone special.
