Retro Den Thankful Sale: Black Friday + Small Business Saturday
/Today gratitude is more important than ever. We are thankful to have the opportunity to run our small business in Tulsa, Oklahoma. When we took over Retro Den more than three years ago, we didn't anticipate how it would evolve into a place of community, inspiration, and belonging.
A place to gather. Whether embroidering a tea towel with friends on a vintage sofa, crowding around Succulent Sara with fellow plant-lovers to learn the proper way to care for a succulent, or talking with a local artist about her work during the annual Alliday Show, we are thankful for the ways our shop brings our community together.
A place to be inspired. You come in to share your ideas, feel motivated, observe beauty, and dream about ways to make your home a space that brings you energy and joy because you know your surroundings matter.
A place to belong. We are thankful for your kindness when you come into our shop. We love that you talk with us about your homes, your families, and your lives. Whether sharing a compliment, a beloved plant or a story, you make us feel like we belong and we hope we make you feel that way too.
As a thank you to you, dear customers, we are happy to announce our annual Thankful Sale this year, November 25 and 26, Black Friday and Small Business Saturday! We will offer a store-wide discount of 20% to all and 25% to newsletter subscribers (sign up here!). We only offer deals like this twice a year, so come in say and hello, have a look around, get some early holiday gifts, and pick up that piece you've been thinking about for yourself.

The difference between minimal and unfinished decorating
I've been lying in bed thinking about this quite a lot over the past year. My life ritual is to swing from one extreme to another, then gently wander my way into middle ground. I did this with boyfriends. I did this with work. I'm doing this with my bedroom decorating, duh. So my once packed bedroom became quite a blank canvas this past year. And it's from this place, I have been contemplating the difference between minimal design and something not quite finished.
