When looking for furniture with genuine character, the flea market is king.
That is, if you delight in bargaining for genuine junk.
A better, more pedigreed alternative: Rejuvenation, the Portland-based home goods purveyor that knows from vintage, now open in Lincoln Park.
The store is massive as it is handsome. To get you acquainted, we’ve put together eight essential items that’ll give your home the personality you seek.
Monrowe Sofa

Kyoto Ofuro Soaking Tub
