I recently had the pleasure of walking along Poulsbo’s Front Street for the first time in far too long. I was so happy to find some new shops, brimming with great vintage decor finds. Among my favorites is Red Plantation Marketplace. Owner Gabrielle Elliott has curated a great mix of vendors offering all sorts of vintage furniture, from pieces with an industrial edge to rustic chic, and lots in between.
Gabrielle also stocks Amy Howard products — a collection of chalk and milk paints, as well as waxes and finishes — and teaches classes on how to use the products. In the next session, held at 1 p.m. on Thursday, September 24, she’ll walk you through steps to get an aged look when painting furniture. I’d like to attend one of the classes myself, as the chalk painted furniture trend is far from over.
Even if taking the class isn’t for you, this shop is well worth a visit to get inspired from the creative displays and grab a few vintage accessories to personalize your home.
