I can’t remember exactly how I found the Old Lucketts Store. Clicking through Pinterest or other blogs, maybe. Anyway, I was very happy to discover that it’s located in Leesburg, Virginia, not that far from where we live.
How to describe Lucketts? Overwhelming the first time. I couldn’t take it all in, even by looking at my photos afterwards. There are three floors in the main building shown here:
Each floor is filled with all kinds of stuff for decorating your home, with an emphasis on shabby chic. I narrowed the photos down to twenty, but it was hard. That’s why I’m splitting this post into three parts.
Here are a few things you’ll find in the main store:
I happen to love mercury glass because it give the look of silver without all that polishing.
Aren’t these soaps wrapped beautifully?
Being the mom of two grown sons, I was particuarly taken with this sign:
I liked this reminder too:
There’s just something about vintage typewriters and fans. . . .
In addition to having great stuff, the people who run the store present everything so beautifully. I especially like this little arrangement:
Part II on Monday.
Great weekend, everyone!

What a cool place ! And I LOVE the ‘call your mother’ sign . . . totally appropriate for moms with adult sons !
Yes, sons seem to need a little bit more reminding. 🙂
I love these assemblages. I have a few corners at home that look a little bit like that only with the cats it’s not easy, I can’t display anything breakable. I didn’t know this was called mercury glass. Makes sense.
The typewriter is great. And that pillow.
I think I would love your place, Caroline!
You could probably spend hours at this store, uncovering all of these gems, and still not see everything. It’s so eclectic and fun. You can’t find this stuff at a big box store.
What’s more, I’m sure there will be new stuff if and when I go back. We did spend hours.
Your comment about the sign cracked me up.
Glad to hear it. 🙂
