We are What Once Was, a partnership of two visual artists turned interior designers/vintage curators with career backgrounds in art history, motion graphics and interior design. Fueled by our shared passions, we have curated our selectively sourced vintage decor, furniture and artistic rarities for you to shop as you create something beautiful.

At What Once Was, we seek to bring our buyers quality above all else. We source pieces all over the United States with particular focus on the Pacific Northwest. In our shop you will find a wide variety of our thoughtfully selected artwork, furniture and decorative pieces all of which embody some of the finest designs and makers of the 20th century.

Our unique collection of vintage goods is continuously updated, so be sure to check in with us regularly by following our shop and setting up notifications to see our vibrant pieces.
