WE HAVE SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE!

We are beyond excited to share that The Vault Creative has been named one of House Beautiful’s Best Home Stores in America 2026!

Even more exciting, House Beautiful named The Vault their “Emerging Icon” and wrote that “collecting is treated like a creative pursuit” here in Highland Park. We couldn’t love that description more.

What started as an idea between the two of us has grown into a space we are incredibly proud of — a collected mix of vintage finds, emerging artists, and pieces we love, all brought together under one roof.

To our incredible community, artists, designers, vendors, family, friends, and everyone who has walked through our doors and supported us along the way — thank you. We couldn’t be more grateful.

And a huge thank you to @housebeautiful and @alongobucco for this incredible honor and for including us among such an amazing group of shops from across the country.

Xx

And, of course, we think this calls for a party…details on that soon! taken in The Vault Creative by @thevaultcreative

Such a fun night celebrating The Vault! 🖤 Despite the rain, our friends, family, clients, customers and supporters SHOWED UP — and we are so incredibly grateful.

We loved seeing all of the embroidered scarves come to life — so many fun patterns, colors and combinations — and so many pretty things under one roof.

The whole night was really a thank you to all of you who continue to shop with us, work with us, cheer us on and support what we’re building. We truly couldn’t do it without you.

Thank you for celebrating with us!

Inside The Vault / Wallpaper

SKETCH: Inspired by a vintage designer silk scarf discovered while treasure hunting in Paris, this pattern reinterprets a delicate trim into a refined stripe.
A balance of structure and softness—a simple lacey line with a romantic border.

The classic stripe with a little edge available in three color-ways. Samples available online or in-store! taken in The Vault Creative by @thevaultcreative

Love seeing how our customers style their Helle Mardahl pieces.

Each one is like a little piece of candy for your home — sculptural, colorful, and so good mixed in with art and vintage.

Swipe through to see a few of our favorites out in the wild. Only a few pieces left at The Vault before our next reorder!

THE BRASS EDIT

We love a good brassy finish. Warm, sculptural, and just the right amount of shine, brass is one of our favorite ways to add character to a space.

Our latest Brass Edit mixes statement lighting, sculptural objects, and one-of-a-kind furniture—including our new hammered brass round mirror and an incredible vintage Mastercraft case piece that’s a work of art all on its own.

Explore our brass favorites in store or online.… taken in The Vault Creative by @thevaultcreative

According to ELLE DECOR, the ashtray is officially back—and we never stopped loving them. Vintage, sculptural, colorful, and just as good for your jewelry, matches, or whatever else needs a beautiful little landing spot.

A few of our favorites, currently at The Vault….

One of our favorite transformations at The Vault.

We found this vintage vanity table and gave her a second life in metallic pink lamé. She’s been styled and restyled throughout The Vault ever since — proof that we’re always moving things around, mixing things up, and finding new ways to see the pieces we love.

One of our favorite transformations, and now part of our feature in @housebeautiful’s Best Home Stores in America 2026.

Vintage, reimagined. Exactly how we like it.
