We had the good fortune of connecting with Brian Garwood and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brian, what do you think makes you most happy? Why?
Meeting people excited about unique items for their home!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
The Blue Door is a vintage collective located in Santa Barbara, CA. Founded in 2014, the store is nestled a block from the sea in the city’s Funk Zone neighborhood. We feature displays of expertly sourced vintage pieces from 14 private collectors along with an array of locally handmade goods.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
The Funk Zone! Great restaurants and shops!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Our 14 vendors! They source locally, nationally, and 2 even internationally to find us amazing vintage pieces!
