Some call it architectural salvage, others call it trash.
But if you’re looking for the charming character of peeling paint, rusty metal or old glass, you’ll find potential gems at Treasures & Trash in their classic old Maine barn on Route One in Searsport.
You can’t manufacture the weathered patina on their recycled tin ceilings, real wooden shutters, old wooden mullioned windows, old tools, sinks, bathtubs, chairs, tables, kitchen utensils, toys, books, road signs, advertising signs, etc.
And you might even come across some rusty childhood memories.
Maine’s frugal people and Mother Nature have been working together for centuries to achieve this look.
And when berries are in season, if you’re lucky, you might find a delicious basket or two for sale at the front counter.
Treasures & Trash Barn, Antiques, porcelain fixtures, claw foot tubs, kitchen sinks, tools, books, bottles, collectibles, memorabilia, etc. Adding new items weekly.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday, 10:00 am – 4:30 pm or by appointment.
156 East Main St – US Route 1, Cell: 207-323-2000, Phone: 207-548-2787
