    tara-and-percy

    Jersey Ice Cream Co was founded in the summer of 2010. Two kids in love found an old embossing stamp at a flea market, dreamed up a design empire, and then set to work trying to create it. Today Tara Mangini and Percy Bright spend their time moving house to house, job to job, leaving beautiful homes in their wake. They believe in craftsmanship, timelessness, and leaving things better than they found them. They do not make ice cream, but will happily have some if you’re offering.

If you thought we were bad about updating our blog, clearly you’ve never seen our Etsy shop! Today’s the day.

We’ve capitalized on Cyber Monday in a big way, and by that I mean we posted a handful of new finds in the shop. Just about everything we found somewhere in our travels, fell in love with, and bought because we couldn’t not buy it, and because we’d probably end up using it in a design job someday, right? No, not right. We love all these finds so much it’s hard to part with them, but our hoarding days are coming to an end. Which means we can pass the legwork- and financial-savings on to YOU. So head on over and check them out.

We found these amazing lockers at Brimfield last summer and couldn’t leave home without them. Perfect pale yellow fronts, red numbers, alternating coral and bold yellow inside. How could we resist?

As much as we adore these, they have been sitting in our front room since then, and we think it’s high time we found them a home. So let the bidding begin! You need them! And they need you! Do I hear $600? x

Scovill Green Dresser

July 23, 2012 by Percy Bright 1 Comment

Last Friday we took a little day trip up to Morris CT to visit a new friend we met at Brimfield. Boy was it worth it. Here’s a little peek into one of his barns:

barn full of industrial factory cleanout goods, vintage and antique finds, in connecticut

And that’s only one of four aisles in one of his barns.

Best of all, everywhere you look there are patches of our favorite color: Scoville green. Our friend occasionally does factory cleanouts for Scovill, a one-time giant of American industry who used to paint all their work benches, trash cans, wood trim, etc., the most perfect light green color you can possibly imagine:

tall drawers in scovill green, ammo boxes, and other industrial goods

So as daylight faded we started filling up our Uhaul trailer. Stools, chairs, drawers, pink Pyrex, and tons of Scovill green.

But our favorite piece?

This beautiful work bench has one door and eleven drawers of varying size, all of which slide nicely. Extremely unusual construction from gorgeous old pine. It measures 56 inches wide, 42 tall, and 29 deep.

$950. Email us here with questions, or check it out in our etsy shop!

And if we had any more space in our little apartment, we’d keep it for ourselves forever.
