Cool Stuff Weird Things

This place has really unique antiques and vintage clothing. It’s also a great afternoon trip to take out of towners to to get a taste of Nashville.

Cool place, Friendly staff. Lots of metal letters and signs. Some cool furniture. Clothing is lacking, lots of stuff tossed on the floor and not much vintage stuff — more goodwill clothes.

We loved this place from the curb! Bought some great old wrought iron candelabras, shelf brackets and old church windows. Great signs for over the juke and a motorcycle helmet! The owner is a great sort of arty, hipster — but not because he is trying. That is just how he is. Very cool, very friendly and very proud of his place. With good reason. We will definitely be back when in Nashville!

Cool Place, not so weird, Cool Stuff though the only Thing close to Weird were the People, (NOT for Sale)
Vinyl ! Mmmmm ! ! ! Plenty of Old Vinyl Record Albums! No Junior Astronomers, oh wait that would be too new!
Upstairs is where the Clothes are and you may find a Creepy Baby Stroller! Vintage Clothing? It all looked OLD to me though I’m sure some, maybe more than some is meant to be Costumey
If you are going on a HOT day as we did, you may want to bring a COLD Drink, they may not have AC

We randomly dropped in here because we saw it while we were going down the street. There are some really interesting metal works for sale. Unfortunately, the really great pieces were out of our price range but some of the smaller stuff was pretty affordable. They also sell antiques and upstairs is all used clothes. We were definitely glad we stopped in.

Fun little shop, but the records and clothes were priced a little high. Also, tons of fun things like advertising and location signs, but those things are mostly for a targeted audience. Good for memory lane, or for that perfect piece you just have to have, but not a souvenir shop for the typical customer from out of town.

I’m actually surprised at the high rating of this business. I was sorely disappointed at the selection of ‘cool stuff’ and ‘weird things’
The things that I considered «cool» had an extremely hefty price tag. Not too sure who the target audience is here. It certainly seems to be aimed toward people with cash burning a hole in their pocket…
However, I’m glad it’s around, Charlotte pike could use a little more quirk in my Chicago native opinion. For now I think I’ll head up the street and hit up some of the thrift stores to get a better deal on cool stuff and weird things.

Moved here from the North and so proud to be in this city & have been looking for this metal sign but all other retail places were way too expensive — This shop is fun and makes you wanna come back & see what new cool stuff they have… The owner is non pushy & is very hip. Take your out-​of-​towner visitors here its a great tourist stop.

Today, Noël, Tony and I decided to go Urban Hiking in Nashville… so we went to West Nashville to some small shops located on Charlotte Av… and I am so glad that we did.
We parked on the street and started «SHOP HOPPING» and we hoped into this store and «WOW»…I am so glad we did… this shop is amazing!!!
There was an Elvis statue to greet us outside on the sidewalk.
Inside there was some great rustic cabinets with glass pane doors for $ 250 in white and black… mental note saved!
There was these metal letters everywhere and they make them and turn them into signs to hang W H E R E V E R… you want!!! They were really awesome! If I had a place to display I would…
The store was narrow but deep!!!
They have some really great pieces. Used books, cds and albums and even some old 45 records. There was some really nice pieces for the avid collector.
I will definitely go here again!
I might buy one of those signs for something special… who knows!!!

What a cool funky store! Got a cute pair of vintage boots I’ve been looking for. Downstairs has lots of knick knacks and awesome metal works. Upstairs is tons of vintage clothes and cool country t shirts.

A cool collection of things, sure, but SO overpriced. I saw the owner at the Flea Market buying a bunch of marquee signs from the maker from Abilene, Texas. He was selling them for $ 40-​$ 45 at his booth, but I figured I’d just head to Cool Stuff later and buy one when I knew exactly what I wanted (and also to support local businesses). I knew it would be marked up somewhere, but I was assuming to $ 60, maybe $ 75 tops (which I would have even been OK paying). So imagine my surprise when I got there, and the same sign going for $ 40 from the guy who made it was being sold for $ 125 at a thrift shop! What a rip-​off. I’ll be getting all my items directly from the source from now on.

If you want to be blatantly offended and called a piece of trash and lousy customer, this the place for you. With the owner‘s 1952 social views you will feel like you made a trip to the past. The only thing missing is the ‘whites only ’ sign.

I love this store! The owner, Skip (formally of Skip Town) is a real hoot, and ALWAYS helps me find things that suit my discerning and distinctive tastes. He is also flexible with his pricing, which is great. There are very few «junk» stores like this in Nashville proper, and I love that I have someone who hand picks his treasures instead of my having to dig through junk to find something half way decent. Skip has a great eye, and on top of that is a really nice guy. He makes shopping here a very pleasant experience and it’s no wonder he has such a loyal and stylish following.
Some real stand outs to me right now are… the 1950’s kitchen set, complete with a fridge, cabinet and counter. They’ve all been refurbished and are a great turquoise blue color. He also has a great mid century couch that is just amazing. I have to stay away from this store because money seems to fall from my bank account every time I stop by.
Thank you, Skip, for providing our neighborhood, and Nashville, with such a treasure of a shop! You save me trips to the boon-​docks of Tennessee to treasure hunt!

This store is awesome. Like any thrift store, you’ve got to do some digging to get to the good stuff, but I have consistently found awesome items here. Including:
— 2 outdoor tables for my patio for $ 20 bucks and in great shape
— Artsy prints of old school alcohol ads that go quite nicely in my place
— A wooden drink cart that is the home to many adult beverages
They also have an entire floor upstairs with clothes, shoes, and accessories. I love stopping in at this store, and you can even work out some deals with the owner and I’ve sold some stuff here too!

I visited this store because I was out that way and it seemed interesting. It seemed like a cool place from the outside. Inside, I didn’t really see anything that caught my eye. A few things I saw were a bit overpriced. The small Buddhas cost more than the same ones I saw at the mall. Not my kind of store but it wasn’t bad.

My husband and I popped into CSWT a couple of weeks ago.
Again we found some real treasures.
Hubby — Banana republic suede coat (mint) $ 35.
Me — vintage Lancome cosmetic travel case $ 15.
vintage sweater 20.
This store is like being on a treasure hunt. Items are in random places but it’s fun.
(I found the travel case behind some chairs)
We got to the register and because the owner recognized us from being in there ONCE months ago, he knocked off $ 15.00 from our total.
The owner (is it Jim?) is friendly, chatty and clearly loves what he does.
Check it out. Sometimes you may go in and find nothing, the next time you may find some cool stuff or weird things!

The only weird thing about Cool Stuff Weird Things is that there is absolutely nothing cool about this place.
I was looking for unique furniture when I decided to stop in CSWT on my way home from Goodwill. It looks promising from the outside because of the Elvis statues but the inside didn’t do much for me. I don’t know if they were all out of cool stuff the day I went or what. To me, the coolest stuff is what they place out on the street so really you can just do a drive-​by.

I LOVE this store ! It is five thousand square feet of awesomeness!
I bought a short church pew and an island for my kitchen. Two amazing pieces for a great price.
The owner was chatty and friendly. The lower floor is filled with furniture and knick knacks and just STUFF! The upper floor is filled with clothing and shoes. The clothing is priced soooo very cheap! If you are looking for halloween or gothic or vintage, check this place out for sure! And if you just want something interesting for your house… check them out!

Dropped by CSWT today while I was in the neighborhood. It had been a couple months since I was last here, so I thought I’d check it out and see what it had to offer.
Turns out that the upstairs area is now open and it is full of vintage clothing and costumes! The sign out front had advertised Halloween costumes, and even though I already had mine, I got a lot of cool ideas just walking through the racks of clothes.
The main floor is still home to great vintage albums and music, along with a crazy collection of stuff. Not really a good way to explain all that is here… Just one of those things you have to go check out for yourself.
While they take cards, bring cash for the best deals.
Enjoy!

Really Cool Stuff Weird Things thrift shop, for sure! Kinda like a modern little version of London’s Olde Curiosity Shop. A skippy character former performer naturally called Skip owns the place and is fun to bargain with. As in most independent thrifts I’ve shopped, a bit of bargaining is fine. Skip’s place is a conglomeration of odd merchandise that somehow seems to end up in this place across from Richland Park. Sometimes some furniture and neat clothing transits thru. Strange and standard art things, home décor thats different and whatnots a step above most are waiting for a new home. Won’t you adopt a piece of this quality junque & give it some love?
