South Shore Standouts: Tahoe Home Consignment
Furnishing a Tahoe home can get overwhelming fast. Maybe you just bought a place, you’re mid-remodel, or you’re trying to freshen up the vibe inside. Either way, you want quality pieces that feel like Tahoe, and you don’t want to spend weeks hunting or rolling the dice with online purchases.
This month, I’m excited to spotlight Tahoe Home Consignment. Locally owned by Jen Hause, as this month’s South Shore Standout. Jen’s shop has become one of those rare local businesses that solves multiple problems at once: it’s a place to find high-end furnishings, discover local Tahoe artists, and get real guidance if you’re not sure what your space needs.
Tahoe Home Consignment will be celebrating five years in business this May, and Jen made one thing clear right away: this isn’t “typical” consignment. “We are a uniquely curated store with high-end furnishings, both new and consigned,” she said. And because inventory moves quickly, it’s never the same experience twice. “The store changes week to week because we are constantly getting new inventory in,” Jen told me.
That “curated” part shows up immediately when you walk in. The store leans Mountain Modern, but you’ll also find rustic pieces and contemporary options depending on what’s currently on the floor. And yes, if you’re someone who loves recognizable quality brands, you’ll find plenty of them. Jen described their inventory as a mix of high-end consignment pieces from well-known names, Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, and West Elm, among others -plus brand-new items she orders in.
Also, a local art destination
One of the coolest parts of Tahoe Home Consignment is that it isn’t just furniture. Jen has intentionally built a shop that supports local creators and gives customers an easy way to bring Tahoe into their home in a more personal way.
“We also work with about 40 local artists,” she said, including local painters, photographers, jewelers, and woodworkers.
If you’re looking for a gift, a statement art piece, or something small that still feels special, this place is worth a stop, even if you’re not currently furnishing an entire house. As Jen put it: “Whether you’re looking for furniture for your home, or you’re looking for gifts, or you’re looking for a little splurge piece for yourself, whether it’s jewelry or a piece of art -we have it.”
Online shopping + the “warehouse advantage”
Another thing most people don’t realize: the showroom floor is only part of the story. Tahoe Home Consignment has a beautiful online store and a separate warehouse where inventory is staged and rotated, meaning there’s often more available than what you see in one visit.
“We have a beautiful online store, and we also have a warehouse five minutes away where we store things that are going to be hitting the floor soon. I encourage people to come visit our store in person, and then check us out online.”
That’s a big deal for busy locals, second homeowners, and anyone trying to furnish on a timeline.
“Best of the best” consignment (and they can pick up)
For consignors, Jen is clear: they’re selective because they’re protecting the standard customers expect when they walk in. “We are particular in what we accept because we only want it to be the best of the best,” she said.
Most consignment inventory comes from the Tahoe region, but because Tahoe has such a strong second-home community, pieces can also come in from outside the area when owners rotate or redesign their spaces.
The wish list: they shop for you
This is the part that really makes the store feel like a service, not just a retail stop.
If you’re looking for something specific (a certain size, a certain look, a certain function), Tahoe Home Consignment can add you to a wish list and actively keep an eye out, so you’re not stuck endlessly refreshing Facebook Marketplace or hunting across multiple sites.
In Jen’s words, “They don’t have to be constantly searching; we can search for them.” She explained that once someone is on the wish list, her team keeps watch for the right fit and reaches out when something matches whether that means finding it through consignment or bringing it in through a special order.
Interior decorating help (including in-home)
If you’ve got the vision but can’t quite pull it together or you’re starting from scratch, Jen and her team also provide interior decorating services.
“Customers can have a free consultation with us,” she said, “and then we can come out to the house and actually help them in their space.”
That can look like shopping consignment, ordering new, blending in existing pieces, or even rearranging what you already own. “If they want to use their existing pieces and just need help rearranging, we can help with that too,” Jen added.
And honestly, that’s what makes Tahoe Home Consignment such a standout: they meet you wherever you are in the process, from “I need one perfect dining table” to “I just bought a house and have no idea where to start.”

If you haven’t been in yet, I’d recommend swinging by in person. You might walk out with the piece you didn’t even know you were looking for and if you’re on a mission, Jen and her team can help you find exactly what fits.
