My favorite item in the entire store is a giant Statue of Liberty replica in a bright teal color. The "flame" is a large circular light. I think I would totally buy it, if only it wasn't $1,250. Sigh.
The store was decorated for the holidays and a lot of the items were on sale!
This is a hammerhead shark that hangs in the front of the shop.
There were about ten different decorated Christmas trees throughout the store and I really wanted to take a picture of each and every one of them, but the store was a bit crowded.
They have so many neat items and one particular item is this old cooking stove and oven.
There was a drying rack full of glass Coca-Cola bottles. I thought this would have made a great sculpture!
I especially loved how they used ladders for bookshelves. (Something I would consider for my own home.)
Another really creative idea was the way they used an old house shutter as a shelf. I think this may be my next home project.
Here's the entire view of the awesome shelf.
Next, we went to a family owned business called The Barn. The Barn literally looks like a gigantic barn, and houses a snack bar, a restaurant, a home decor and furniture store, a seasonal store, an antique store and an outside gardening store.
I love the idea of a traditional fireplace with an elongated mirror over it, and I especially loved this particular look, which was featured in the antique store within The Barn.
They even have a room dedicated to stained glass windows, which are all made on the grounds.
If you pay attention to the details, you'll notice that the frames are all a bit worn, which gives them a lovely antiqued feel.
As we were leaving, we noticed an old telephone booth outside...
...and couldn't resist taking photos in it. Here's my sister coming out, and looking a bit dazed.
I love that antique shop! Ridiculously cute. Also, The Barn literally looks like a giant barn because it is a barn. Just saying.
