Faded Blue — Local services in Denton

I was curious to see what would inhabit the frame store that had been in business for so long in the building where Faded Blue is now. On my way to work each day, I saw the progress being made, all the while hoping for a cool store; I was not disappointed. I got to see the American flag mural being painted, and as a patriot, I think it's a very nice touch. It reminded me of two other local Denton business icons; Frenchy's and On The Cuff. I would describe the merchandise is a mix of trendy, industrial, and vintage. The selection is every-changing, which lures me in to see what's new. The owner has an eye for finding, and making pieces which will appeal to his customers. He's friendly, welcomes feedback, and works so well to help his patrons find what they're seeking. My favorite piece is was a wall plaque that I was able to personalize for my breakfast nook. I left everything in his hands, providing the wording, a picture of the space in which it would hang, and asked that the paint match the space. He called me when it was ready, and the finished product was perfect! I think Faded Blue will become one of those favorite shops in Denton where you go to find just the right thing to...

So my friend and I happened upon this little gem in Denton, Texas as we were driving down the road. Was wondering what kind of store it was so we pulled over to check it out. This place is wonderful. The first thing that got me was the smell when I walked in. I recognized it as one of my all time favorite candle scents, Warm Tobacco Pipe. So I was super excited that they carry this line of scents as they are hard to find in stores. Then there were the fun vintage furniture pieces, the vinyls for all genres and decades, and some fun posters. Then I came upon a room in the back of the store that had everything darts. My husband played darts when I met and him and several years after, but stopped playing because you know, life. So I sent him a little snapshot and it sparked his interest again. Before I got home that day he had set up a new dart playing area in the house. So of course I had to take him back to Faded Blue to buy some new darts. They also have hand made soaps and beard tending toiletries. There are so many little things here, but very well organized and clean. Definitely...

This small shop is worth the visit for the unique items and personable owner! If you spend just a few minutes in there looking at the vintage furniture and his current record collection, you’ll find yourself in one of the most enjoyable shopping experiences in a while. This was true for me when I went in this past week because I’d heard from a friend there were a couple vintage chess boards for sale. Exactly what I was looking for. The owner gave me good detail on the boards so I could make an educated decision, his items are priced fairly for each individual items history and worth. I love this place, I’ll definitely...
