Nonna's Euro-American Ristorante & Bar - Bricktown - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

In the beginning was an idea, a vision if you will, of a wonderful shopping experience. This gallery was to be filled with so many choices of merchandise; an environment exclusive in its setting, and in the pure pleasure of enjoying quiet time and special moments, with attention to each and every detail. Painted Door opened on a beautiful Fall morning September 19, 1991, on Western Avenue in Oklahoma City with 4,000 sq. ft. of retail space and approximately 5 employees. Offerings included antiques, decorative accessories, home furnishings, gourmet food items, bath and body care, infant and toddler accessories, home fragrances and collectibles including Department 56 lighted villages and Byers Carolers. This list could go on and on!

Through the years two new additions gave extra footage for gifts as well as, two specialty boutiques (Painted Paper which included a wide variety of rubber stamps and Joyce Lucille’s specialty clothing) and also the beginning of Nonna’s. As Nonna’s grew, Joyce Lucille’s was relocated from one area in our building to another and to this day we still carry specialty clothing reminiscent to the Joyce Lucille era.

In early Spring 2005, both Nonna’s and Painted Door moved to a Bricktown facility located on the southwest corner of Sheridan Avenue and Mickey Mantle Drive in a 90+ year old warehouse with approximately 22,000 sq. ft. Most of the employees from both Painted Door and Nonna’s operations on Western continue to be a part of the new Bricktown project.

Nonna’s in Bricktown served its first customer on Friday, February 11, 2005. Painted Door in Bricktown began business on Tuesday, March 15, 2005. Painted Door most recently opened an additional location in the newly renovated Skirvin Hilton Hotel in Downtown Oklahoma City, on February 26, 2007.
