1618 Something Different

neat, neat, neat! take a browse through their showroom and you won’t want to leave! John was very helpful and even showed me a few things I didn’t know about mid century contemporary. Make sure you check out the fabulous wrap around chairs! Too cool!

Mid-​century to Modern treasures everywhere you look! The shop is nicely curated and the furniture is in good condition. If you’re a MCM buff def. check them out. They are in a fun part of town so you can stroll along and visit the other shops nearby too :)

Really great shop if you are into their specialty of retro, vintage, and mid-​century furniture or décor. Everything here screams 50s/​60s/​70s.
Like all good vintage, there is an equal price tag. I had a record stereo cabinet in my line of sight but it was way out of my budget.
Next to the monstrous A&T antiques, this shop is much smaller and focused on a particular esthetic. This shop is a fairly quick pop in and out that won’t take you long to explore.
You can follow them on Facebook to keep up with what is new to the shop or any specials that might go on.

The experience to walk into this place and be transported to your parents or even grandparents place is simply priceless. They have unique pieces that will make a great addition to your retro space. It is always entertaining to walk into this store and discover items that they have added to the inventory.
If you are looking for some rare mid century items this is definitely the place to go. Visit often to rediscover new treasures.

What a fun place! My Mom and I did a little strolling on Ivanhoe row today and propped in to this cool place. It was s flashback for Mom as most of the items were 70’s esq. Really cool place with the friendliest staff and the cutest little pup begin the register working with his human!

This is one cool place…
It’s one of those places that has things you may never see again anywhere. If you’re looking for something to set your room apart you owe it to yourself to stop in and browse before making a purchase anywhere else. The owners are friendly and willing to discuss pricing.

As a new resident in Orlando I like to furnish my home with valuables and rare peices. This place was really intiguing but too pricey for the merchandise. Old lamps and chairs mainly for $ 300 and up def not worth the price but the shop is cute and the owner was really friendly! If you are a college student or professional on a budget this is NOT the place for you.

So many unique and functional pieces in this furniture store. There truly is something for everyone in this local, fun and funky store. The staff is friendly and willing to make a deal if you have your heart set on a piece. I love the teak and the quality, solid pieces throughout the store. If you’re looking to add some style to your home, Something Different will not disappoint.

Best place to find mid-​century furniture for a steal! The guys there are really nice and helpful, and often have sales or will haggle. We are slowly filling our house with stuff from 1618.

I was excited when I saw this store on a local gift idea list because I am a fan of mid century modern furniture but I haven’t purchased any pieces locally. I’m not sure how often their offerings change but I was disappointed by the condition of the pieces available. It skewed too retro for me since I prefer pieces with simple modern designs. I may have to stop by in a few months to see if they have anything new.

If you like vintage, modern, danish and/​or midcentury modern furniture and other home accouterments, this is the place to check out. The store is packed, in a good way, with a carefully edited selection of large and small pieces of furniture and home accents, which makes it fun to browse whether you have a specific purchase in mind or not. They post their new finds and inventory updates regularly on Facebook (helpful when you are stalking just one thing, like I was recently re: a sofa) and they will readily respond to requests for measurements, etc before you make the trip in. I find the prices reasonable when you consider the time it would take to source these items yourself by perpetually stalking and sorting through a gabillion Craigslist listings trying to separate the wheat from the chaff. They also are super low-​pressure and will tell you tons of history about any item you’re considering. Love that.
p. s., also, the sign on the counter that warns you to buy it today lest the person who was looking at it yesterday come in and snag it while you’re mulling it over — I laughed when I first saw it but they aren’t kidding, my living room is short one Risom chair due to my reluctance to pull the trigger!

There’s a lot to squeeze your way around in this shop – and it’s awesome. Their prices are good, and they have some impeccably weird things hanging out with nicely edited mid century pieces. They also post all new finds on facebook, so you can see the goods before you even step foot into the store. I walked in on a Friday and had a nice long talk with Brian, who was so friendly and helpful that I found it hard to leave.
Your search doesn’t have to end here, though, because this whole neighborhood called «Ivanhoe» is chockablock full of vintage furniture stores.

I love, love, love this store. I am a huge fan of mid-​century danish modern furniture and this is the place I go to find it. They have other types of furniture also and I enjoy looking at the styles. I love that I can buy something used and give it a good home so someone doesn’t throw it out. The fellas here are so nice and very helpful. They are always running a special of somekind…20% off items in the back or the entire store. If I remember correctly if you pay cash they might knock a couple of bucks off too.

My friend has several great pieces from this store and with a nod from Cortney and Robert Novogratz on Home by Novogratz (HGTV), I knew I had to visit. I wasn’t disappointed.
I want to start over and decorate my house from scratch. They have quality midcentury modern furnishings that would blow anyone away. 1618 Something Different even have the accessories to complete the look.
If only I kept my grandmother’s mid-​century living room set. Sigh!
Oh and the Saturday I visited, it was double the fun with The Yum Yum Cupcake Truck parked out front!

Found this store a couple of months ago and I am in love!!! Every time I am in town I make sure to stop by and see what new goodies are in store! If you like vintage, retro, mid century stuff this is definitely a not to miss shop.
The owners and staff are friendly and genuinely love what they do. We have purchased 2 large pieces and several decorative items and everything is amazing! I was inspired to completely redo my living room and hopefully will be able to bring something different home with me!

Bought some chairs for my bar and the gentlemen who helped me was friendly and helpful without being pushy which I love… I can’t wait to go back for something for my house.
great store, great prices. Orlando is lucky to have it — so go support it!

I’ve been praying for a place like this in Orlando, and I finally found it! I’ve been looking for midcentury modern décor forever now, and this place is filled to the brim with it. Some of the colors and designs in there are somewhat rediculous, but in a fun, funky way that one could easily style a room around.
By the way, there’s a small table of acessories near the counter with some old scarves and glasses that’s quite an interesting pile to pick through. I think when I need new frames, I’ll look through there first for something really cool.

Such an amazing retro shop filled to the brim with cool furniture and décor. I absolutely love this shop! Your eyes are on overload with all the colors and textures as soon as you step in. The shop owner was very friendly and welcoming. I even bought a pair of vintage sunglasses!

1618 Something Different should be called, 1618 Something Amazing!
The entire time I was walking through this place I just kept saying, this place is kind of amazing. I just moved to a house and I wanted to literally refurnish my house walking into this place.
A ton of it reminded me of my grandparents house but it seemed so much more cooler now. There was a dining set that was very Shabby Chic (pic uploaded) and it just made me want to serve tea and crumpets. It was gorgeous. There were so many couches and chairs that just invited you in to sit but then when I got close to the price tag it made me want to sit and cry. I know the furniture is completely worth it, my lifestyle just would not allow me to spend so much — YET!
I am still thinking about a huge dining room table or worktable that I wish I could afford and also a birdcage type ceiling hanging chair that I think I NEED but now I can really live without. I just really loved a ton of pieces here and can’t wait to take my mother when she comes to town.
The staff was very nice, no hovering or attempted sales — they simply just let us enjoy our stroll but stayed available if we had any questions.

I’m a fiend for mid-​century modern pieces, and this place is my own personal home shopping mecca. If I could, I’d furnish my entire place from here! In fact, I hesitate to post a review because I love it so much and don’t want other people to snatch my future dresser…
Prices are reasonable for what you get, and by and the large the pieces – especially the big guns like credenzas, dining room sets, etc – are in good condition. They also do much of their own reupholstering, so no grotty, suspect stains are on their couches and chairs. Delivery is free within a reasonable radius of the store, and you if you’re real sweet you even get them to carry it up a few flights of stairs.
Like another reviewer noted, you won’t see the store name anywhere, just look for the big 1618 on the window.
