The Super-Cute, Allergy-Free Way To Celebrate Cherry Blossom Season

Even with our weird cold spells the cherry blossoms are in peak bloom.  The gorgeous pink flowers are popping up everywhere and making things bright and cheerful (and a little itchy and sneezy, but that’s ok).  I wanted to quickly share with you a few of our favorite Washington, D.C., goodies with you in honor of this beautiful symbol of diplomacy that we celebrate every year.

  • The latest from Amy
Owner Amy Rutherford started Red Barn because she wanted to deliver a service — to provide both old and new in one place. No longer will busy shoppers be limited to reproductions or forced to shop multiple flea markets for the look or gifts they want. The trick in blending old and new, vintage and modern, classic and quirky, is balance. And Amy’s knack for mixing rustic antiques with urban chic has created a look that is both fresh and familiar.

Red Barn Mercantile opened its doors in September 2007 with a single vision in mind: providing old and new to offer our customers signature whole-room designs at great prices.

We’re more than a furniture boutique and provide more personalized service than a big box retailer. We work hard to bring you the highest quality furniture and gifts, the most unique conversation starters, wall hangings and accent pieces, whether they come from off-the-beaten-track flea markets, or the latest designers.
