YES! This place is seriously a dream! I've always loved antique kind of things and have recently been redecorating my room because my room just never feels like its finished. Then when I think I've finished it, I hate it and start all over. This might be a problem but I'm working on it. Anyways...I've fallen in love with old furnishings and just vintage looking things. The only thing is..its so expensive to buy in the city! Like a tea cup for 50 dollars, and being a college student I don't have that type of money! Anywhere I go, its overly priced or just looked like it was mass produced...I like my things to be unique.
So when me and my boyfriend went to All Seasons Orchids (I recently posted about it below) we got hungry. We found a quick place to eat but of course no parking! So we had to park about two blocks away and as I was getting out of the car I noticed this little boutique type shop.. my first thought was EXPENSIVE.the things they had in the window were just so nice looking and the same things you would see in an antique shop in the city with a 80 price tag. But, I took the plunge and dragged my boyfriend in with me. The first thing i picked up was this jar full of corks which just looked super chic. I turned it over and i think it was about 4 dollars!! I literally couldn't believe it, was too good to be true! I had to take a second and third look thinking I might have read the price tag wrong. I was the happiest person on earth. As i made my way further and further into the shop i fell in love with literally everything. And i just couldn't believe how affordable everything was! You just can't find anything like that in the city of Chicago. Nothing! I was only able to pick up a few thing, although I wanted a huge cabinet and a couple of chairs, a chest of books, some of the painting hanging on the wall, and maybe everything else! I do love the little nick knacks i did pick up. I will definitely be going there again! I'm so happy i found that place. Its seriously a gem! And the woman who tended to me was so kind. I do wish it was closer, an hour and a half drive hurts! Especially with all the tolls! ( it is located in Woodstock, IL) Its worth the trip if you love antique things and have a budget and if you don't, this place still has a lot of beautiful things!
The first couple of photos are not mine, I did take them off their face book page. If you want to look at anymore photos here is the link...https://www.facebook.com/pages/A-New-Interiors-Anew/111809755548396?sk=timeline
