About Wade Living

Wade Living is a vintage-first home and lifestyle brand curating character-rich pieces for everyday spaces. We look for objects with history, craftsmanship, material quality, and a sense of place—pieces that bring warmth and personality to a home without feeling overly precious.

Our vintage collection spans a changing mix of glassware, ceramics, pottery, tableware, decorative objects, and other well-made pieces discovered through estate sales, markets, small shops, and other sources across Kansas and beyond. The makers and manufacturers change with what we find, but our approach remains the same: choose pieces that are interesting, well-made, and meant to be lived with.

A small selection of modern pieces is included only when it complements—not competes with—the history and personality of our vintage finds.

Our Approach

We center vintage.

Every piece is selected for its craftsmanship, materials, character, and the quiet way it adds depth to a room. We are drawn to objects that show evidence of their making and their history—from vintage glass and ceramics to tableware, pottery, and decorative pieces.

Our inventory is intentionally always changing. Rather than building around a fixed group of manufacturers or a predetermined catalog, we follow the pieces we discover. One week that might mean a beautiful piece of American pressed glass; another might bring vintage pottery, collectible tableware, or a distinctive mid-century object.

Modern items are chosen with restraint: simple, well-made accents that support the vintage narrative rather than distract from it.

Our goal is to make vintage feel approachable and livable. These are pieces meant to be used, enjoyed, and woven into daily life—not kept behind glass.

Our Story

Wade Living began as a personal pursuit of well-made, character-rich objects found at estate sales, markets, and small shops across Kansas. What started as a collection grew into a shop: a place to share pieces that feel lived-in, meaningful, and thoughtfully chosen.

Today, that same curiosity drives how we source. We don't limit ourselves to a particular manufacturer, period, or style. Instead, we look for the individual piece—the unusual glass, the beautifully made bowl, the piece of vintage tableware with an interesting history, or the object that simply feels right.

Every vintage item is personally sourced, inspected, and photographed to show its true condition and details. The imperfections, the craftsmanship, and the history are part of what make these objects special.

Sourcing & Care

Vintage
Each vintage piece is personally selected and carefully considered for quality, condition, authenticity, and character. Because our inventory is individually sourced, manufacturers, makers, patterns, materials, and eras vary continually. Product pages include detailed measurements, condition notes, and clear imagery so customers can understand exactly what they're bringing home.

Modern
Our modern selections come from trusted suppliers whose work complements our vintage pieces. These items are chosen sparingly and intentionally, with an emphasis on quality, simplicity, and compatibility with the character of the vintage collection.

Presentation
We photograph and describe our pieces with clarity and care. Whenever possible, listings identify the maker, manufacturer, pattern, materials, approximate era, measurements, condition, and other details that help tell the story of the object.

A Collection That Changes

Part of what makes vintage interesting is that it cannot be reproduced on demand.

Our inventory changes as new pieces are discovered, which means Wade Living is always a little different from one visit to the next. You may find vintage glassware from one manufacturer today and a completely different maker tomorrow.

We embrace that uncertainty. It is part of the joy of collecting vintage—and part of what makes each piece at Wade Living feel individual.
