Red Barn Mercantile

Dan Rutherford of Red Barn Mercantile contacted me just a little while back to introduce the grand opening of their shop in Old Town, Alexandria. Wow - this is right in my wheelhouse! And what a fresh departure from the some of the stuffier shops I've seen come and go on King Street.

From their site: "Owner Amy Rutherford started Red Barn because she wanted to deliver a service – to provide both old and new in one place... The trick in blending old and new, vintage and modern, classic and quirky, is balance. And Rutherford’s knack for mixing rustic antiques with urban chic has created a look that is both fresh and familiar."


Good news - Red Barn has a printable 20% off coupon for in-store merchandise valid until December 24th. Nice! I will definitely be stopping in to do a little holiday shopping. Located at 113 S. Columbus St.

Old Town is the greatest for showing for furniture and home decorations! There are so many options right in one place, and it's easier to park than going to georgetown for the same type of stores!

This looks like a nice addition to the neighborhood!

It looks like a really great shop, on the rare occasions that you find them shops that sell old and new items are really good if you do not really know what you want, I bought some argos garden furniture new and about a month later I saw a similar design that was original from the fifties and wished I had waited and bought this one, that is the problem with most places especially furniture sometimes you want a bit of both old and new from one place.
