Today was my first time at The Nest. 7 years I've been missing this from my life. I'm so glad I stopped in. I even found the much needed vanity chair I've been searching for. I will be talking to everyone I know (and a stranger or two) about this place. More...

The Nest is the best vintage boutique in the Reno | Tahoe area hands down! Tessa the owner curates every piece and is super knowledgeable about all things vintage- furniture, decor, fashion. She really has amazing taste and it is such a delight to shop there and experience all of the nostalgia! Tessa specializes in Mid Century but has a large variety of inventory from different time periods as well. There is really something unique for everyone. Other great services that The Nest provides - furniture restoration and design for custom pieces, styling services and also fun and creative workshops for the community. Tessa and her staff are super friendly, fun and professional. I truly admire this business and I highly recommend shopping local at The Nest! More...

I love stopping into this store whenever I'm in town. The staff is fun and friendly and there are so many Reno-only items I can find that remind me of home. The textile collection is worth visiting, as is all the furniture. It's not overpriced as many antique stores are and it's highly curated so you can find something with personality. More...

The Nest is more than just a fantastic vintage shopping location.  Tessa (the owner) also enjoys bringing people together for various classes and the furniture setup in front is perfect for everyone to learn together.  Between floral arranging, succulent planting and knitting classes, there is something for everyone.  And these are just the ones I've heard about so far!  The store itself holds so many hidden treasures for your home decor/entertaining needs and closet.  The prices are certainly reasonable for the quality of the vintage items and they hold sales for different parts of the store regularly.  Tessa and her team have a great set of eyes for detail and put a lot of love into the set-up of their displays.  I urge everyone to support this local gem.  I for one, will be stopping in this upcoming Small Business Saturday.

This green credenza from The Nest looks absolutely perfect with my vintage art! What an amazing find! This store has so many great pieces, it was hard to choose what I loved the most, but I knew this piece was meant to be! My favorite vintage store in town!

I stopped in at The Nest for their weekly sale and fell in love with a ton of pieces while there! Although I was looking for a chair, I wound up finding the PERFECT green credenza for our entry way, and am wondering if they still have that green chandelier! I'll absolutely be back to check out their incoming pieces! I like that they go for quality rather than quantity. It's so easy to navigate through the store and see their inventory. I get lost in some of those other vintage stores around town! The owner and staff are also super friendly, helpful, and seem to really love what they do! I highly recommend a stop in! More...

I visit my friends in Reno a couple times a year, and every time I'm there, I drive by this cute store... Finally had a chance to walk in on my last visit, and I wished I had done so sooner. The best vintage/antique shop I have ever been in. They have a big selection of vintage clothing, but there's none of that musty, junky, oh-my-god-yikes kind of feel. All clean and super-organized. I found a bunch of clothes I said "wow" to, and so did my girlfriends. The price is amazing. Lots of cute vintage furniture. If I lived in Reno, I'd definitely buy chests and chairs here. Cute, tasteful jewelry. Great for gifts. Amazing selection of paintings. Like being in an art gallery. All those antique glass door nobs and pulls that are making me want to do some DYI projects.I was lucky enough to find a beautiful hand-tooled leather bag in a quarter of the price if I were to find it elsewhere, especially in Bay Area. I got some vintage ethnic fabrics too, and I am rekindling my sewing bug with them. Some review said that "they are overpriced." NO. The Nest is easily 1/3 of the price range compared to anywhere in Bay Area, and even still lower compared to the other antique stores in Reno. And, the selection is way better. The owner is also incredibly charming. Writing this review is making me want to drive to Reno today! More...

I enjoyed browsing through this store. They have a range of clothes, furniture and decor. I'm sure a lot of it is vintage but certainly not all of it - a few random clothing brands like We the Free and Forever 21 popped up in the sale section.

What a cute place. Once you walk into the Nest, you'll realize that it's easy to spend hours just walking around and checking out all the vintage stuff. We bought a wedding dress and decor at the Nest, what a great deal and everything looked so hip and elegant. Tessa was also so personal and helped us with our selection for the wedding we planned for a very special couple. The Nest is a one of a kind place in Reno.  Will definitely be back. More...

A little overpriced but very entertaining. Every time I go there I spend at least an hour just looking and rummaging. I like this place. People are very friendly and they always let me stop by and put my pop buys for my own business on their counter. When I need something old and used I always go to the nest first. More...

I absolutely love unique stores as a general rule, even if I don't buy anything, as they're just such cool little museums of the past. The Nest has immaculately curated housewares and retro cool clothes. Smaller then Junkees and more of a midcentury then Burning Man focus.There was a vintage lamp The Nest had which although the price tag made me not buy it on my first visit it's stuck inn my mind ever since so I may go back for it. Great little spot!Big usually empty parking lot too, always a plus. More...

Saw the reviews and pictures and desperately wanted to peak at this hidden treasure in Reno!So overall I'm very impressed. Way more impressed with the antique side than the clothes but that's not to say the clothes area was bad it was just that the antique side was awesome! There were some very cool finds in here.The only reason I docked a star was because it's more of a high end vintage store so the prices are a bit high for some common items. They were NOT unreasonable they just weren't what I was expecting. They only buy local and stock local products and support local business owners and this was awesome to see. It was super fun on a Sunday to look around and I will highly suggest this place to others! More...

Personally, I like the thrill of finding the hidden treasure buried among the junk at thrift stores. But sometimes you don't want to dig through the piles of crap to find the good stuff -- you just want to wander through a nicely curated and displayed selection of vintage clothes and home furnishings. That's what the Nest is for!When you walk in, the larger front room is devoted to (mostly midcentury) furniture and housewares. You'll find dining sets, couches, and living room furniture displaying cute sets of vintage barware and decor. Again, because I'm a cheap thrifter, the prices are on the high side for me, but you're paying for the curation and for items that are generally in pretty good condition.The side room is dedicated to men's and women's clothing, shoes, and accessories. The clothing selection tends toward the costumey, and some items are presented as vintage but are clearly modern, so take it with a grain of salt. They do have a good selection of men's clothes and shoes, which isn't always the case at vintage stores, so there's plenty for guys to look through, too. If you like scarves, gloves, and women's hats, they have a big selection at fairly reasonable prices. Service was... well, pretty much nonexistent. There was a guy in the back behind the register when we came in, but he didn't greet us and ignored us the entire time we were shopping, even when we were browsing the furniture around the register. For the most part, I like being left to poke around on my own, but it's a bit weird when you're the only customers in the place and you're completely ignored. The Nest is a fun place to browse through, especially if you're into midcentury decor and looking for inspiration. I didn't find anything to buy, but collectors of vintage glassware and Pyrex will find lots to check out here! More...

I have the pleasure of owning a few cool pieces I've purchased at The Nest. A couple of those items just today! I love vintage and antique furniture and I love that this shop has such a cool variety!

If you haven't already, check it out! You won't regret it! More...

If you're looking for nice looking antiques, this is the place. We were looking for deals for the family, not really our place. But I can totally understand why some folks would want to return it is like boutique shopping! It felt like they took the best from the other thrift stores and now have a finders fee but that's ok because it's nice! More...

Can't believe I've never reviewed The Nest.  Nor have I checked in often.  The Nest is located on the corner of 2nd and Keystone.  It's a Junkers (antique lover if you're fancy) paradise! Vintage clothing and accessories.   Antique furniture at reasonable prices-- heavy on mid-century modern on my last visit. All those things you grew up with from solo cups to advertising signs to the toys your mother threw out  The Nest has it all!  The staff is always very friendly and helpful.  They don't take consignment or rent space to outside vendors.  The store is stocked solely with their own finds. Yelpers get a discounts with checkin.....too bad I left my phone in the car! The first rule of junking is if you're looking for it you'll never find it.  The Nest is a great place to explore because they'll always have something you didn't know you needed! More...

The Nest is amazing for anyone looking for mid-century modern/retro furniture, dishware, clothes, or anything else. I spent months looking for a record stand for my house. I came to the Nest and immediately found a Danish modern buffet that was perfect for my purposes. It was in great condition and the price was low. The owner (Tessa) delivered the buffet to my apartment and helped get it up a flight of stairs with no problems. She was really friendly and helpful. She even offered to keep her eye out for other pieces of furniture if there was anything specific I was looking for.Tessa clearly has a good eye because the store is absolutely full of cool stuff. The selection is really wide, but it feels curated so you're only looking through good-quality, awesome stuff. Again, the prices are good. There was a vintage metal desk when I was there that was only priced at $125, when it could easily go for $500 or more, given the quality. The buffet I got was at least $200 cheaper than I would expect. Next time I want furniture, I absolutely plan on coming here first! More...

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?

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!)

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. More...

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! More...
