Store tour: Blue Barn Trading Co.


This weekend we discovered Blue Barn Trading Company, a new vintage store located right over the marshes on Route 107 in Revere, Mass. These guys just opened a few months ago and are still building their customer base but we absolutely loved their style and their staging, plus the proprietor Ryan seems like a wicked nice, down-to-earth guy too.

Let's take a peek around...




We seriously considered that ice cream sign, but we don't have the perfect place for it right now. That jukebox works, is only $400 and sounds incredible, by the way.




I'm seriously obsessed with that green Hollywood Regency-style Marboro lamp. It was one of the most expensive items in the store (of course) and easily the most gorgeous.



All I'm gonna say is that's an original Danny O and we really want it, so don't go buy it. Mmmkay? 


Hubby is also super in love with this photo.


We plan to visit the Blue Barn often. We had such a fun time looking around and geeking out over cool antiques with Ryan. If you're ever in the area, stop by and check it out!

Current obsession: Hudson Bay point blankets







I have been obsessed with Hudson Bay point blankets for the past year or so now, ever since I found myself in Woolrich, Pa. at the factory store and saw these beauties up close and personal. I kid you not, they literally took my breath away. Something about those three primary colors, accompanied by the purest green and neatly separated by stretches of cream is so viscerally appealing, the attraction is irresistible. Except for the fact that they're rather pricey, I would own these in every color and variation they come in.

My obsession was recently fueled by finding a four-point green Hudson Bay at my favorite vintage store in Salem. It was only $100 (a steal, compared to the full price for a new one) but with Christmas coming I couldn't let myself splurge on a vintage wool blanket I don't necessarily need, just desperately want. Plus, as pretty as the green one was, in truth I really want the multi-colored version.

We're currently considering some major updates to our guest room. I think a multi-colored point blanket might just have to be pinned to the inspiration board.
