Antiques on Nine

Okay, here's the final wrap-up of our trip to New England. As I've told you before, my aunt, Beverly Bangs, owns a fabulous 12,000 sq. ft. antique store in Kennebunkport, Maine, Antiques on Nine. It's full of American and European furniture, paintings, decorative items, architectural elements and garden accessories!

When you walk into the huge store, it's overwhelming because there is so much amazing stuff! I could seriously walk around her shop for an entire day, and still not see everything. Here are some pictures I took of her shop...



















and it keeps going and going.....

Here's the adorable piece mom bought! It's from England and Beverly said it use to be part of a priest's altar. She also got the fabulous pair of green lamps!!

And finally...here's the piece I found. It's going to be delivered this weekend and I CANNOT wait! Like I've told you, since Antiques on Nine doesn't have a website, we've decided to barter! I'm designing her website, and in return, I got to pick out a piece of furniture. I really wanted a bar to go in our kitchen, and I found the perfect piece. Beverly bought it in England and I adore the detailed carving and the gray paint color!

Happy Thursday everyone! And make sure to stop by Antiques on Nine if you're ever near Kennebunkport. I promise, you won't be disappointed!

Kennebunkport

The next part of our trip was visiting my aunt and uncle at their beautiful home in Kennebunkport, Maine. I haven't been to Kennebunkport since I was in high school, so it was wonderful to be back. Below is a picture of my their home, isn't it beautiful?! And just a block away from the beach!!

When we pulled up Beverly was preparing an amazing lobster meal...






Pictures never do any justice, but I tried to capture our amazing, candlelit lobster dinner on their beautiful screen porch. We had a blast, and sat there telling stories until after my bedtime :)

Don't you love the painted floor??

Here are some other shots of their beautiful home. They just renovated their kitchen — I love the subway tile and the antique butter sign over the sink. As I've told you before, Beverly owns Antiques on Nine, an amazing 12,000 sq. ft. store that I will blog about tomorrow....






and we even had lobster on the beach...








We had dinner at the Cape Rundel Inn on our last night, which happenned to be my dad's birthday. Such a wonderful memory!







Below is the Bush's house/mini-island. Beautiful, huh?




The town of Kennebunkport is so cute. These pictures don't do it justice — but I tried:)




Congratulations if you've made it this far. Tomorrow I will finish up our trip with my Aunt's fabulous shop...
