If your Pinterest boards are filled with collected interiors, vintage furniture, statement pieces and rooms that look like they’ve been curated over decades, it might be time to get off the screen and start hunting in Baton Rouge.

Enter Circa 1857.

For antique lovers, collectors and anyone looking to give their home a little more personality, Circa 1857 is the kind of place where you can easily spend an afternoon browsing. The shop is filled with pieces from different decades, giving shoppers the chance to discover furniture, décor, art, accessories and unexpected finds that you simply aren’t going to see everywhere else.

A Treasure Hunt in Baton Rouge

Part of the fun of antique shopping is never knowing exactly what you’re going to find.

Instead of walking into a store with rows of identical pieces, Circa 1857 invites you to slow down and look around. Every corner offers something different, whether you’re searching for a major statement piece for your home or just keeping an eye out for that one item that immediately catches your attention.

And you don’t have to consider yourself a serious antique collector to enjoy it.

If you’re decorating a first apartment, refreshing a room, looking for an interesting piece of art or trying to create a home that feels more collected than cataloged, shopping vintage and antique pieces is an easy way to bring character into a space.

Your Pinterest Board, But in Real Life

We’ve all saved the photos: layered rooms, vintage mirrors, interesting artwork, old wooden furniture and décor that looks like it has a story behind it.

Circa 1857 is a good reminder that you don’t have to order everything you see online to create that look.

Browsing locally gives you the opportunity to find pieces with history while creating a space that feels completely your own. Better yet, the inventory means there’s always a reason to come back and see what you might discover next.

Make an Afternoon of It

This isn’t necessarily a run-in, grab-something-and-leave kind of stop.

Give yourself time to wander.

Look through the different collections, check out pieces from different eras and pay attention to the things you might normally scroll right past online. Sometimes the best find is the thing you weren’t looking for in the first place.

Whether you’re an avid collector, in the middle of decorating your home or just love discovering interesting places around Baton Rouge, Circa 1857 deserves a spot on your local shopping list.

Because when it comes to finding something truly unique, good taste never expires.
