The Art of Demolition

The new location over on Pacific Avenue, North of Dundas, is fantastic. Fits the shop perfectly, and lots of room to move around. The owner and staff are extremely helpful, friendly, and happy to help you find your next treasure!

This place is so kool. There is so much to choose from. They have a little bit, or a lot of everything. The prices are fair and the enviorment, and staff/owners are very nice and helpful. The vibe here is so awesome and welcoming as well. I'll for sure be coming back.

Hello. Do you appraise or buy cloisonne vase?

I had a lovely experience in this shop. The owner was so friendly and helpful. They have beautiful items and delicious honey.

There is a vibe here. Its not just stuff, its a feeling. Uncomplicated, curated, fairly priced and staff who really love the story in the stuff.

I found this cool little antique shop while exploring the city and was pleased to discover they make custom furniture too! Their items are made to order, very custom and extremely well priced! I ordered a bookshelf and am now designing matching end tables with their help.  A great place in the city for unique and affordable pieces for your home!

We absolutely love this charming place. The staff is lovely, navigating the store is easy and uncluttered, everything it its place make its easy to see all the store has to offer. This store also made us 2 custom pieces for our business made from salvaged wood. We will be back

Constantly changing very fun selection. Never know what you'll find here, enormous diversity of finds.

Great cat!! I love a shop with a pet, dog, cat.... Friendly staff. Prices OK. worth checking out.

Wow. This place is so overpriced. The owners should realize that the people who enter their store are often collectors, and might know the market rate for items that they are collecting. Walking in here with a group of friends during a Junction holiday market weekend, we were greeted by a woman (clearly one of the owners) who was very friendly, at first. The longer we stayed, the more we noticed the random, salvage-y condition of the items throughout, and this owner walking around defending the unexpectedly high prices to anyone who seemed confused. We saw an excited customer flipping through a box of stereoscope cards on the "$10 or less table", grabbing a handful while noting aloud to her friend that they might be $1-2 each in their condition (keep in mind that they were all bent, eaten away at or stained). This owner barked at her "they are NOT $1 each! They are $10 each! They are over 100 years old!". The customer immediately shrunk away and put back everything she was buying. She said meekly "I know how old they are. Um, I collect stereo cards." Just because something is old doesn't mean it is in good resale condition. This is the problem with the direction that thrift/vintage is going in these days. It used to be that still-usable items in good condition would go for a reasonable price. Now, it's ANYTHING old, even if you need a tetanus shot just to hold it. Best of luck to this store. Hopefully they make nice with rich people who don't mind paying hundreds of dollars for rust couture. Try Williams or Door Number 2 in the same vicinity if you want reasonably priced antiques.

Art of Demolition is a funky little shop in the Junction. It is on Keele a half-block north of the Dundas and Keele intersection on the west side of the street near the pay parking lot. While a sign warning you that you are on camera serves as your only greeting ( the person at the counter in the back either "does not speak" or "leaves you alone to let you shop" depending on how you look at it.) Art of Demolition has a nice range of old eclectic stuff similar to what you would see at a flea market. Old license plates, records, and posters, as well as larger items such as chest coca cola coolers (they had a fairly nice one for 700$) are here as well. Recently, they did some spring cleaning/reorganizing so it is much easier to navigate the small space. If you like old odds and ends, The Art of Demolition may have that special something you were looking for.

The Art of Demolition has tons of unique and vintage antiques with rare retro finds. Where ever you look you will always see something new. if you're looking for one of a kind objects that will spice up your home the Art of Demolition is the place to go!

The Art of Demolition is a cute little shop in the junction. They are very nice and say hello when I come in. The shop is nice and warm so it's nice to chat with the girls for awhile, you can tell they're very passionate about what they do and they always have something interesting to say. I've never been to a store like them, it's tidy unlike older antique stores and their stuff is always changing. It ranges from antique to curios to custom furniture. Bonus! There's a friendly cat in the store named Doughnut.
