Mint Home was started by Jessie and Keisha in 2009 and offers refurbished furniture largely from the mid century. Each piece is sanded raw, hand painted/stained using low to no voc paints, and sealed with water based polycrylic. We reroute drawer tracks, re-stain the inside of drawers, and re-glue any loose joints to make each piece look and feel like new. Occasionally, we come across pieces in near “Mint” condition, and are able to offer those “as is.” So, if you’re a mid century purist, we’ve got something for you, too!

In 2012, Mint Home expanded from an online enterprise to a brick and mortar store in the North Center neighborhood. In concert with our vintage furniture, we now are able to offer a wide array of products handmade by local and national artisans. Screen printed pillows and tea towels, hand poured candles, original art prints, handmade air planters, makers kits, irreverent cards and more await you! In addition, we pick up all sorts of smalls from our travels, and offer these unique treasures alongside the furniture and handmade goods.

As parents, Jessie and I see an urgent need to move businesses back to more sustainable models and Mint Home was born out of a strong desire to do our part. When you shop local, you have the unique privilege of knowing exactly who you support and we think this is wonderful way to not only build community, but positively impact our environment. We don’t deal in disposable goods from distant lands. Instead, every item you purchase is one of a kind and we can tell you where each handmade item was made and by whom. We think that’s pretty special!
