(March 2, 2017) Lewes, Delaware furniture and design shop Salvaged is coming soon to downtown Berlin, opening a second location there.
Dubbed “House by Salvaged,” the shop is targeting an April opening at the former site of Sea La Vie, on Artisan’s Way.
“‘House by Salvaged’ came to light when four partners had the idea to expand,” Brynn Byerly said. “Two of the owners — Michelle [Hepting] and I — own Salvaged and were contacted by Berlin residents, Andrea and Corey [Canon], about the opportunity to open the business in Berlin.”
Byerly said the Lewes location carries “a wide variety of professionally hand-painted vintage and antique furniture along with décor and home accents.”
The customer base ranges from young adults furnishing their first college apartment to older residents looking to redecorate their beach houses, according to Byerly. She said the Berlin location would be “less coastal and more of a lifestyle store.”
“The new location in Berlin will offer a wonderful selection of tastefully painted antique furniture, while also mixing in new reclaimed/raw wood pieces and décor,” she said. “In addition, we are the only stockist of Chalk Paint decorative paint by Annie Sloan in Delaware, which makes it the perfect shop for fellow DIY-ers.”
Moving to Berlin was not something Byerly and her partners had been planning. She said the location happened to pop up, was seen by Andrea and Corey Canon, and forwarded to her.
“We couldn’t pass up the wonderful opportunity to join the ‘coolest small town in America,’” Byerly said. “They heard of the space becoming available and immediately reached out to us. Everything happened so quickly, as there was so much interest in the property and we worked hard to secure the location within days.”
She said the property only needed minimal work, and that inventory as already arriving and being stocked. April 1 is the target opening date.
“As soon as you enter the building it immediately reflects the vibe we are going for — reclaimed, rustic, natural and worn,” Byerly said. “We want ‘House’ to feel cozy, lived in, and make you feel at home upon entering.
“We hope that bringing ‘House’ to Berlin really adds excitement to the community and gives the locals another one-of-a-kind shop to furnish their homes with,” she continued. “If everyone loves it as much as we think they will, hopefully word spreads and the business can continue to grow from day to day. We are hoping to get the community involved in our fun Chalk Paint workshops and give them another outlet to use their own creativity. Hopefully business only goes up from here.”
