Betty Blue's Junk Shop isn't the type of store you visit for cookie-cutter home décor.
The 3,000-square-foot business specializes in the unique and unusual, housing a range of hard-to-find items from the past and present.
Vintage velvet paintings, mirrored bar signs and brightly-colored, paint-by-number clown portraits from the 1970s line the walls, surrounding aisles filled with classic vinyl, Depression glassware, clothing, Pyrex dishes and truck stop belt buckles.
The store has its share of chairs, tables and desks, but nothing that you'd find if you were walking around IKEA.
"I don't understand wanting to have something everybody else has," said shop owner Kim Kysar.
"(It's all) the same generic furniture that you have to assemble when you get home."
Kysar opened Betty Blue's in October and runs it with her mother, Skeeter Gray.
The two started the shop after losing their jobs, Gray from an operating center position with Cox Communications and Kysar from her role as brand manager for an adult film production company.
