Dwelling Spaces

Cute little shop! Actually, it’s not so little & it’s filled with neat things. You won’t be at a loss for finding all things Tulsa here, among other goodies like art, lotions & vintage clothing. Definitely worth a stop in if you’re visiting the area & have a moment to pop in!

I love this place! Totally quirky and fun. Lots of locally made products and Okie stuff. If you’re looking for something Bigfoot related, this is the place. And great coffee too!

Talk about UNIQUE! I stumbled into this place looking for a gift for a friend. I must say it was a prime choice for just that. Even if you are just looking for trinkets for your home, or yourself, this place has it all! They’ve got clothing that pertains to local happenings (I got an AWESOME new Lone Wolf Banh Mi Sweatshirt!). There is a ton of jewelry from local artists as well as cards, post cards and even stuffed animals! My favorite surprise in the store was probably the records, they’ve got classic oldies as well as new releases from local artists which I was not expecting. Before you leave you can even grab a fantastic coffee to go, or sit and chat. If you’re just passing through, or if you’ve even lived here your entire life, you need to be sure to have a quick stop in Dwelling Spaces, support local! Buy Local!

Great place with a coffee bar! Excellent service, friendly faces and all around neat place. Try the Bigfoot drink, it’s amazing!

I have been going to Dwelling Spaces for coffee and gifts for a couple of years now. I love the way each cup is made fresh & has strong as you like it. A local bakery supplies the goodies to go along with the coffee and they are delish. Gluten free options are sometimes available.
I hate giving the ordinary to people for birthdays or holidays, shops like Dwelling give you the option of unique. I like keeping it local too. Lots of silver smithed jewelry, original artwork, local vinyl & artwork trinkets. Cool cards to choose from to accompany the gifts too. Great bags & tissue on hand make it a one stop shop. Now a vintage section has been included at the shop, the store is truly not that big… but the choices are huge.
Last time I was in there just happen to be a table full of Unilocal freebies! Pretty cool.

I’ve been meaning to write this for a while and just now getting to it. This place is adorable, has great stuff for sale, lots of character, and even a coffee shop inside. However my low score is because of the poor customer service I received back in September. I had a gift certificate for $ 40 that I had been waiting for the perfect thing to spend it on. However the expiration date was coming close, so I knew I needed to get sometimes soon. The weekend before my certificate would expire, they posted some adorable Oklahoma necklaces that I really wanted on the FB page. I knew Monday would be a holiday weekend, so I called the store to see if they would still be opened normal hours on Sunday. I’d be downtown that day anyway, so I explained to the woman who answered the phone that it would be easier to go that day, however knowing it was a holiday weekend, I wanted to make sure just in case I needed to make the trip from BA on Friday or Saturday instead. I explained that my gift certificate would expire after the holiday. She assured me they would be open until 3:00pm on Sunday. I even called AGAIN on Sunday morning to make sure and was assured again that they would indeed be open until 3:00. So we arrive shortly before 1:00pm and the doors are locked. There’s a woman inside and she doesn’t say a word to us, just slaps a sign on the door saying they closed early due to the holiday and walks away. So my gift certificate expired and I wasn’t able to use my $ 40. I’m very irritated that I called not once, but twice and was promised that they’d be open, only to have a sign slapped in my face and then ignored.

Pros: My international secret Santa giftee collects magnets from places. Googled it, and Dwelling Spaces has a reputation for having cute Oklahoma themed or made items. Their reputation is well earned. What a cute space! I’ll definitely be taking my fiancé back here to purchase some Oklahoma t-​shirts.
Cons: small space and difficult to find parking. It has a super hipster vibe; which I don’t mind, but my fiancé will hate.

Dwelling Spaces has a coffee bar inside with the freshest coffee in town! This shop is connected to a sushi bar (Yokozuna), and makes for a pretty cool stop after dinner! Everything they sell inside is made locally, and they always have a cool variety of different pieces! Everything you buy from this store benefits locally so it is a bit on the expensive side, but the variety is good and they have many pieces you won’t find elsewhere!

I’ve been to Dwelling Spaces a couple of times now. The first time it was recommended to me as a place to buy a Bigfoot-​themed item as a present for a coworker. I was short on time but was able to find what I wanted quickly thanks to the salesperson. (My coworker loved her coffee mug and car decal, btw.) The second time I had time to kill after dinner nearby. This time I was able to have small talk with the salesperson about the store and different items in it. I bought a beautiful print of downtown Tulsa as seen from above to hang in my office at work, where I’m fortunate to have a view of the downtown Tulsa skyline. The store has a really cool vibe and killer décor. There’s a coffee bar in it, a lounge area for relaxing, and live music some nights. Some of the items are pricy, but that’s because they are locally made and can’t be found anywhere else. Check it out when you get the chance.

Dwelling Spaces is a cute place to buy a variety of Oklahoma-​themed and Oklahoma-​made merchandise.
It’s conveniently located right next to Yokozuma (directly connected to the restaurant, actually!), so it’s a good place to go to kill time if you’re waiting for friends to meet you up for dinner.
There’s also JoeBots Coffee inside Dwelling Spaces with places to sit and hang out. Did that once and will probably never do it again. Paying $ 6 for a cup of coffee is something I’m not a fan of.

Visits: Once, on vacation recently.
Service: I was actually never approached by an employee, even though I was in the store for about 30 minutes… So, below average?
Establishment: Cool place, trendy, hip, etc. Lots of cool artwork, shirts, bags, etc. Lots of drinks (coffee, hot chocolate, etc) available at a small drink bar.
Items Purchased: None.
Restroom: I didn’t use it.
Parking: Street parking and a lot behind the store.
Special notes: Artwork was overpriced, in my opinion. Lots of cool stuff, but nothing I’d really think of buying and bringing home. Lots of OK attire.

Dwelling spaces is the perfect place to go for a unique gift for someone. They have lots of local, Oklahoma themed T-​shirts and posters as well as great gifts for babies and children. They sell quirky books, such as Oklahoma Big Foot conspiracies, as well as books by Oklahoma authors. My husband likes them mostly for their posters and art based on Flaming Lips songs. There is also a location in Oklahoma City. I particularly like this location because they have a coffee bar and places to sit and hang out. For people like me who are always looking for gifts for those odd and unique people in your life (like my husband) this is an ideal place to shop. It is nice to support a local business and you can use your Keep It Local card for a 10% discount.

This is a review of their online shop–
I ordered a shirt online from this company and never heard anything from them other than the confirmation email that had a link to check the status of my shipment which took me to a page that lo and behold… didnt exist!
I tried calling them– their phone number goes to a information only voicemail
Tried contactng via Facebook– no reply
I finally had to have the charge reversed by my bank.

one of my favorite retail shops in the whole state. this place has its finger on the pulse of oklahomas next generation of artists and creatives. mary beth babcock, owner and operator, is one of my favorite people to be around and an incredibly positive force of energy. she works often, and if you catch her at the shop is sure to give you the grand tour. she hires people that are happy and upbeat like herself, and then makes it look mind blowingly cool. basically once you get there you wont want to leave.
make sure to check out the «cuddle monsters» that ashley carver makes. she also does a special wayne coyne, and woody guthrie doll that is the coolest thing ever. they carry some great products made by great okies, so if you are looking for a slice of oklahoma to pick up and take home you will want to get it here!

Never in the history of all time has a retail shop had more personality then Dwelling Spaces. It’s vibrant upbeat personality has infected a whole downtown area of Tulsa. I swear if your in Tulsa and have yet to smile stop into Dwelling Spaces and it will help change your perspective.
What’s in it: There’s local shirts, music, fun handmade décor, alessi products, robot inspired art, books (sometimes accompanied by the author) Oh yeah and you can get a shot of espresso while your there!

A supercool spot full of touristy things seemingly out of place in a land almost completely devoid of tourism.
This is the epicentre of hip in the state of Oklahoma. A place that would fit perfectly well in Wicker Park, or Brooklyn or Portland.
A beautiful store full of uncommon objects, cultural curiosities and local pride.
A top notch coffee bar to top it all off.
Perfectly quirky, remarkably well curated.
A can’t miss.

Recently I visited the store for a couple of parties. I don’t know that this is something they do regularly, but if you hear about one please do yourself a favor and check it out. I have to say this is the coolest place I’ve been to since I moved to Tulsa. We moved here just over a year ago from NYC and I had been missing finding my hidden little parties and such. I felt like I was transported back to the city in it’s heyday. Great art and music… and the people were so fun. I can’t wait to go back and check out the coffee shop and really look at what else the store has to offer.

Part coffee shop, part T-​shirt shop, part knickknack/​gift shop… it was a pleasant experience visiting this shop to enjoy a live band called «White Tail Buck Deer» which I highly recommend you go and listen to if you hear about them playing again somewhere.

Fun place with alot of character. Sells modern furnishings along with querky accessories. Great to peruse and grab a few items.

Beautiful place with awesome stuff — much of it Tulsa-​themed. Great for gifts! And they have Toms shoes!
