The Nest

The Nest is like a super cool retro museum! Everything from 60’s style lamps, furniture, glassware, clothing, you name it! prices are incredibly reasonable compared to what you might pay back in San Francisco. This will be a must shop place on our future visits to Reno

If you need a splash of fabulous for not a lot of cash, go to The Nest. I bought a pair of mid century modern chrome bar stools here. I was presented with a wide range of fabric choices; we chose an atomic print that went great with our mud-​set tiled bar in our 60’s ranch home. It cost less than $ 200 for the pair, giving our kitchen custom sass for not a lot of cash. Why box store when you can upcycle?

The Nest has an extensive, eclectic selection of vintage items. Although the store is very cool itself, it is a bit pricey for what it is. Much more of a cool place to window shop than actually buy anything.

Cool curated selection of vintage finds, funky junk and some new stuff too. The staff & owner were super friendly and helpful. They had a great selection of new jewelry – I tried on a few pair of silver earrings but couldn’t find the perfect fit. I’ll return to visit this adorable Nest when I’m back in Eugene.

Very cool store! Selection of really unique and very tasteful items. Wish I could have spent longer in here! Who would have known that Reno is The Place to get funky consignment items!

Made my final trip to The Nest today, well, perhaps penultimate if I find some cash burning a hole in my pocket within the next few days; before skipping town for ATX. This store has truly been a nesting place for me, it’s where I went to pick out a special thing when something special was about to happen. A dress for turning 22. Clogs for becoming a practical, grown-​up woman. And, now, a sun hat for moving to the South! There’s less to pick through here than at Junkee and the various thrift stores in Reno, and the prices are higher, but that encourages me to think carefully about what my wardrobe needs rather than thoughtlessly load my arms with half a dozen $ 3 tops. Keeping the selection limited to one-​of-​a-​kind pieces (with prices that reflect their uniqueness) is also a helpful reminder of the work by real, human people that the clothing industry depends on. For me, it starts with «Someone had to do all of that embroidery by hand!» and ends with «Oh yea, someone had to sew all of those jeans for H&M…» You’re not guaranteed to feel great after a session of retail therapy, but I think the odds are higher when you choose The Nest, because you’ll be more mindful of how much you have to spend, what you’re willing to spend on (Ask: «What does an ‘investment piece’ mean to me?»), and where your money goes once it leaves your pocket (back into the local economy, yay!)

5 stars for how unique and funky fresh this store is. Everything in there is in good condition. We enjoyed looking at everything. If you like 40s, 50s and 60s clothing and décor you will love this store. Not cheap but, fair prices.

This little vintage boutique is adorable! I can’t believe I’ve never been in here before! Everything in the store is in pristine condition and such a wonderful selection. I was there earlier in the day for my first time. I came back only a couple hours later to make sure no one else snatched up the adorable vintage swim suit and studio light that I found. You definitely have a new regular!

Visited the Nest while on a business trip to Reno. Loved all the fun stuff to look at and the great conversation with the owner Tessa. Stop by here even just for a looksie, you won’t be disappointed. ***also grab yourself one of her look books! So beautiful!

What a great store The Nest is. We just moved to Reno and have been using a card table in our condo’s dining area (our old table was way too big). I thought it would be an easy task to find a Danish style drop leaf table but was very much mistaken! Finally, on a late Sunday afternoon, I called The Nest and spoke with Tessa; she said she thought she might have something I was interested in, and in fact she had two identical tables. We went in and, voilà, the table (s) were perfect and a great price. At first we were only going to purchase one but they folded up so nicely that I thought we might later regret it so we bought both! Loved the store, the cool items and the energy. I didn’t even have time to peak in at the clothing but will next time. Best thing? We figured out it wasn’t far from our building, so we’ll most definitely be back to check out the treasures. Thanks Tessa.

Every once in a while you meet someone whose passion is so infectious, you can’t help but be inspired by them. Tessa Miller is one of these people in our community, and I’m so glad to have met her this week! Tessa has a ton of positive energy, warmth, dedication, and a smile that you can easily see from a mile away. Once you walk into The Nest, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.
The Nest is a reflection of Tessa, her undeniable sense of style, and the 9 years she’s spent curating and collecting vintage and antique fashions. Her talent for merchandising is UNDENIABLE, and she has basically created mini period vignettes throughout the store that draw you in to examine every detail. Everywhere you turn you’re going to find something you either must have, or share with a friend.
For example, I literally bumped right into an antique bar, complete with a china hutch filled with vintage glassware. On top was a retro set of cocktail glasses I kinda wanted, and inside the hutch was a set of highball glasses with sporting dogs on them ($ 29 for a set of 6… SO REASONABLE). One of them had a Chesapeake Bay Retriever with a duck in its mouth that looked just like my buddy’s duck dog, Smoke. A few clicks and text later, and Jon just found a Christmas present for himself. Around another corner I found a huge selection of shoes and boots, and Ashley just so happens to be in the market for a cool pair of the cowboy variety. Now we’re both planning to head back this weekend!
Now we’ve all been to that vintage/​antique store that has absolutely everything marked way through the roof, and thankfully, The Nest is not that! The prices here are very affordable, and while I know this is a business, they make me truly think that Tessa does this as a way to share her passion with all of us in the hopes that we’ll discover the same magic she has, in each piece in the store.
Her endless amounts of creativity, and insatiable desire to uncover the next great find, means this is the kind of place that is never the same from visit to visit, and that is just fantastic. It’s a great place to shop (I’m heading in to see if I can find some cool clothes and maybe even a belt buckle) or just browse, and if there’s something you’ve been seeking, just ask! Tessa is happy to hunt it down for you.
Go check out The Nest. I can’t wait to hear what you found!

The best place to find something really cool and unique for yourself or a friend. The owner has superb taste and style. If you are on the hunt for something hard to find– ask Tessa to keep an eye out. I was able to score the perfect dog portrait for my friends dog wall.

Love, love, love this store. Just a smidge pricey for second hand but such cool stuff. I have spent hours just looking at every nook and cranny. Always something there that reminds me of my childhood. They now have catalogs that are very artistically done which I also enjoy. Definitely one of my favorite places to thrift.

the wife and I have been on a thrift store clothing binge as of lately. she was searching Unilocal and stumbled upon the nest. well there is not much of a selection for me and what was there seemed to be a bit pricing (compared to junkies, Plato’s) the wife found a couple of pieces but did not get anything. the thing we both commented on though as we left was how dusty the clothing area was. I even saw cobwebs on two different shoe displays. don’t get me wrong we will stop back in once a month or so to see if there is anything new. I’m afraid that due to the amount of dust I don’t think they get much «new» inventory

Love this place. Love the variety and the homey feeling you get being in there. Well organized and priced fairly. Can’t wait to go back!

I always enjoy trips to the store to see what has been added. It’s an interesting selection of furniture, clothes, and even vinyl. I usually check out the music and the only gripe I have is asking $ 5 for a record that is pretty beat up and not budging or giving a discount for multiples. I guess that’s the price for instant gratification and shopping local vs getting it for .50 online.
That won’t stop me from visiting again, though.

Love it!!! Great killer hard to find items excellent service, lovely owner. Never fails in selection and quality! Will be back often:))

This shop is the bomb. The owner was so kind to help me find a cool dress for an out of town event. I am new to vintage clothes shopping but she has great pieces with great prices. Thanks so much!!!

If you’re for local business, this is the place to support! What a fun and affordable place! I stop in whenever I’m in the neighborhood and it’s hard to miss with it’s lovely mustard exterior. Tessa has done a wonderful job with transforming the cliché antique shop to something exciting and new. Great place!

I’m not a collector of vintage, nor am I incredibly versed in the ways of vintage interior design. But this store was a revelation. It is expansive, carrying mens and women’s vintage apparel, to classic records, furtniture, art and even vintage kitchen accessories. I was beyond impressed with the cleaniless of the store, the way it was organized, and the care that was taken in arranging the storefront windows.
This is a fantastic store and I’m so pleased they took over a dreary corner in Keystone that was in dire need of something fresh and fun. I’ll be back, soon!
