While back in NY visiting my family, I got a chance to visit my friend Christina’s, mother JoAnn’s, antique shop! I love me some good antiques so I was pretty stoked to check it out. Here is what you will see when you arrive…
If this doesn’t get you excited to check out the inside of this shop I don’t know what will! How cute is this barn? I love upstate NY with all of it’s beautiful barns and rolling hills. Lets get to it and check out what they have!
Before you step inside you’ll notice this awesome bench made by none other than my friend Christina and her husband Dave. As you can see it’s an old Ford tailgate made into a unique bench. Sorry folks I don’t think this one is for sale!
In front of this bench I saw this great rustic white trunk. If my memory is correct I am pretty sure it was only $35! This could be a great coffee table or used for blanket storage at the end of a bed! This would have come home with me if I didn’t have to take everything back on a plane!
When I first walked in I spotted these vintage baskets. JoAnn told me she believes they were originally from a library or a school.
I turned around and came across this adorable antique sink set up that was filled with soaps from a local crafter. I love that JoAnn features local artists in her shop! I am all about supporting local arts, crafts and farming!
If you head to the back of the barn there is a room that Christina told me her dad set up as the “man room”. I loved it. It is filled with all sorts of beer signs, tool boxes, antique fishing rods, jugs and flashlights.
I also wanted to take this vintage craftsman tool box home with me, at a price of $15, it is a steal. Unfortunately, I was still battling the whole suitcase packing dilemma and being constrained to a 50lb. per suit case limit. I would have loved to use it to store paint supplies for my art room. It had a removable shelf inside which would be a great divider.
These antique paddles were also calling my name. I could just picture them hung in the little nitches that I have in the tall ceilings in my living room.
Can you picture it? I also came across this other paddle that I was digging…
I believe they were $30 each. Not bad!
Check out this jug lamp and little antique lunch pail.
JoAnn also has many beautiful antique dressers at amazing prices. I believe this one was $95!!! You cannot find a deal like that here in FL, down here this antique could sell for close to $400! Here is another that I am absolutely smitten with…
This one was $150 and I need to own it! I love the drawer pulls and the fact that it is on wheels.
Both of these china cabinets were around $150 each, which is another great price. I wish I lived closer!! On top of the white cabinet I saw these antique glass bottles…
Thought about picking them up for my wedding, but I think I have enough glassware for my center pieces. Someone please go purchase them and fill them with wild flowers!!!
These vintage trunks were so unique. They even had writing from the previous owner on them with instructions for delivery. I also think these would make great storage in a bedroom, possibly a little boys room? The possibilities are endless people!
This old wine barrel was beautiful! And the burlap bags on top were pretty superb as well. I could see them made into a couple throw pillows!
I had an awesome time checking out JoAnn’s shop and I wish her great success, I plan to stop in each time I am back in NY to check out any of her new finds! You should go visit her if you live close by(5377 Ridge Rd W, Spencerport, NY 14559)! Also check out her facebook page and take my advice, go visit her you wont be disappointed!
This is my friend Allison, myself and Christina outside the shop.
I will be back tomorrow with another post to show you what did come home with me and where it ended up in my home!
