Through the threshold, you will find a glorious array of antiques, furniture, figurines, glassware, brass and pewter, books, home décor, and tons of seasonal items!

I get so many compliments on it!
Upstairs you will discover even more treasures, incredible vintage quilts and linens, armoires, occasional chairs, desks, mirrors, light fixtures and lamps, artwork, cultural displays, and too many other things to mention!
