A lover of Queen Anne
Striking, 3rd story turrets and grand, carved wood staircases in houses all around me are what first got me interested in the, always notable, Victorian architecture of the 19th and 20th century. I loved the intricacy of the beautiful details that were present in each house I saw, inside and out. It felt like the buildings had a story to tell of all the past inhabitants, and how their lives were lived. I knew that I wanted to eventually live in, and care for, a historic house ever since!
Once I moved into a 1912, Queen Anne home myself, I began to curate my own collection of all things antique, and really leaned into learning about each piece I encountered. Educating myself about the different products and styles for the home during this period was fascinating to me. I became fixated on the history of the goods I would find while scouring thrift stores, estate sales, and the like. Many of these items had a bold story to tell, either through their quirky uses or wonderful, unmistakable styles that simply cannot be replicated by modern items.
Sharing the many items I find in my searches was a natural next step for me, as I quickly realized that I have a true passion for connecting others to these quality goods. Antiques bring me a special kind of joy and enrichment, and I hope I can provide you with similar feelings here in my shop!
