Nothing like a quick road trip to sift through piles of barn board to put a girl in a good mood. We need some nice silvery barn board for our own half bath and we’re doing a clients mudroom bath ceiling in barn board – it’s just been a matter of finding the time to get up to Nor’East Architectural Antiques. We got there the other night with about 30 minutes to close; so I had to be focused, absolutely no ‘shiny object’ moments! (though there were so many drool worth salvage pieces to look at!) Many thanks to the owner John for putting up with my desire to sift through piles and piles and to Kirby, my husband for always being so patient with my need to always find just the right item. Of course he has the fun job of installing all this barn board too. We’ll check back in with you shortly to share progress!

If you want to visit Nor’East Architectural Antiques they are just up 95, not far into New Hampshire. Be sure to check the hours before you go.  They are at 16 Exeter Road in South Hampton, NH.
