Good News - Nor'East Architectural Antiques is Rebuilding!


A few months ago, we wrote about the devastating fire that destroyed Nor'East Architectural Antiques in this post. We are happy to report that they are rebuilding & moving full speed ahead. Best wishes go out to the Nor'East team! To read updates, click here for their blog.
I hope to make a trip to visit the new warehouse next summer when I head up to my favorite place in Maine (if you love vintage cabins & cottages, you'll love this rustic retreat!).
