Owner Kelly Millspaugh Thompson first made a name for her store by resurrecting vintage furniture with chalk paint and by teaching fellow DIY-decorators how to do the same. She’s since expanded her brand—a style she calls “modern function and vintage soul”—by cultivating a mix of old and new home décor, gifts and accessories from lines such as Roost, Jellycat and Creative Co-Op. You’ll find an even larger selection of antique furniture (both raw and refurbished) at Stylish Patina’s monthly warehouse sale, Rough Luxe Market (held at 138 W. Jefferson St. in Falls Church), plus a greatest-hits selection of décor and gifts at its pop-up shop in the Mosaic District. –Adrienne Wichard-Edds
