Cosmic Consignment

Super fabulous store! The owner is a doll, super friendly and super helpful. I stopped in while visiting from New York and was really impressed by her selection of fun mid century finds and killer jewelry. Picked up a deco jewelry box for only $ 20 and a ton of jewelry all at great prices. A definite must for the mid century lover, I will sure to come back the next time I’m in town!

Such a great find. I love this little shop tucked away off 7^th with some of the coolest furnishings to be found in all of Austin. The prices can’t be beat and then there’s the owner Michelle. She is beyond lovely and hospitable, a true GEM herself. Thanks Michelle, we all always support your amazing place of consigned goods. 10 stars if Unilocal wasn’t on a lame 5 scale

I happened to be driving down 7^th street and saw this little shop from the road. I busted a u turn and headed back to check it out. This is a consignment shop that carries all types of used/​vintage furniture, records, art work, jewelry, housewares and so much more! The stuff in here is much nicer than your standard thrift store too.
I loved looking at all the vintage jewelry. I thought the prices on items were fair on everything throughout the store. I saw these awesome end tables that I loved. If I was in the market for end tables I would have picked those up.
My suggestion when you come is to take your time and look at everything … there is a lot to look at in a small amount of space. If you are looking for a unique piece for yourself or your home I would recommend stopping in here!

I want to talk about Cosmic Consignment as a person who consigned furniture and décor with them. They have been GREAT! I had too many treasures from my family to fit in my house, so CC was a wonderful destination for them. I felt the pricing was very fair and I felt good about other people loving and enjoying the goodies. Super place and super people.

This place is amazing! They have great stuff at great prices! The owners are friendly and are even willing to make a deal. I have been to a lot of furniture stores in Austin and this was by far the most affordable. Do yourself and your wallet a favor, go here next time you need something for your home! I will certainly be back!

This place is almost too good to share. I’ve been to A LOT of furniture stores in Austin and this one is by FAR the best. They have amazing finds at amazing prices. They beat ANYONE’S prices, hands down. I wanted vintage, eclectic and stylish and found it all here are the right price. If you want to sell or buy, go here. I mean c’mon!

Just when the Thrifty Snicker thought the East side couldn’t get any hipper, a new consignment store on the thrift scene is emanating its own cosmic rays over A-​town and beyond. Cosmic Consignment on east 7^th Street is the love child of Michele Leeds and Curtis Uhlemann, Happily for Austin, this mother and son duo is no stranger to vintage and antique furniture, house-​wares, clothes and other groovy accoutrements.
As Donald Draper himself might have said, if you don’t like the way your place looks, change where you shop! And shopping at Cosmic Consignment will definitely bring some cool to your crib with its emphasis on 60s and 60s-​inspired furniture. But don’t be taking your time… decorators, nightclub owners and set designers have been known to come by Cosmic Consignment and buy up multiple pieces for their own projects. The sofa your Thriftstress lounged on this month during a shopping visit might be the same sofa you’ll spy her on with a dry martini and her latest love conquest next month at the next It Austin cocktail lounge. Currently there’s a 1960s hide-​a-​bed that could have come straight from the set of Mad Men, an awesome 70s-​style round glass table with red and metal chairs, and a pink dresser priced at $ 215. Speaking of Mad Men, Cosmic Consignment currently has a complete set of Mancioli Black Cockerel dinner dishes as seen in the Thanksgiving episode — just $ 500. More turkey, Bob?
Although mod furniture anchors several seating vignettes throughout the store, interesting decorative pieces, lamps, artwork and other fun and funky pieces artfully clutter every nook and cranny. Your Mistress of Markdown isn’t the only vixen kicking up her Pierre Cardin kitten heels around the Merimikkos. Marilyn and Audrey cast their sultry glances over depression glass, a set of avocado green Tupperware (feel the burp!), a selection of skinny ties, a basket of old cigarette lighters, a vintage roulette table ($ 225) and an armoire stuffed with leather and letter jackets. Carefully selected contemporary pieces enhance, rather than detract from the vibe showing countless ways to mix the old and new for a unique look — think David Hicks. Vintage sports equipment like bicycles and water skies are a recent addition to the store’s inventory. But what if you’re looking for just the right retro end table or light fixture and Cosmic Consignment doesn’t have it? Don’t fret! Just make your entry in the store’s wish book, kept right there on the front counter, as Michele makes it her personal mission to match your fondest decorating desire with just the right piece the moment she finds it.
Musicians will get a pleasant surprise at Cosmic Consignment as a whole section of the store is devoted to guitars and music equipment. Michele’s brother, himself a musician, works to help local artists by creating a consignment space for their gear. Your Bargain Blogger is quite certain this is the only store in town where you can get your Jackson and your Jacobsen all in one stop!
The Austin east side has embraced Cosmic Consignment tighter than Ted and Peggy so check them out soon and often. Better still, consider consigning a vintage piece or two with them yourself. It’s a straightforward 90-​day contract and you get the lion’s share of the ⁶⁰⁄₄₀ split. Just send a picture of what you have to
.
No need to go far out to get your far out — Cosmic Consignment is located at 2604 East 7^th Street, west of North Pleasant Valley Road. Currently the store is open daily but there’s talk about closing one day a week starting in June. Get the scoop on FB or just call for an update at 512.547.6549. You can park in front of the store on one of the city’s new brick parking pads — right next to Azteca Mexican.
As much as it pains the Discount Diva to admit it, she doesn’t know everything thrift. What are your favorite places and best bargains?
Until the next find!
The Thrifty Snicker

I love this little Gem. The furniture and décor are hip and affordable! The owners are friendly and helpful.
