Welcoming back Fetch Antiques
by Cindy Redman | December 14 2011
As a local painter and big fan of antique shops, vintage treasures and unique interiors, I am happy to see Fetch Antiques and Interiors re-open in the Daniel Boone Shopping Center in Hillsborough.
Karan Sjoberg, former owner of Fetch Antiques & Interiors on Churton Street has recently re-opened the store in the Daniel Boone Shopping Center, and anyone who is a frequent follower of antique and thrift store blogs quickly learns that this store is a must-see stop when driving anywhere near Hillsborough.
Sjoberg has re- created Fetch, as a sophisticated, enchanting store environment that mixes 19th century French chairs, with country French whitewashed buffets, with mid-century modern tables, with chipped paint garden gates, with with Italian chandeliers.
Fetch has an appeal for those interested in vintage antique treasures, flea market finds and unique objets d’art, and works to keep its prices competitive.
Daniel Boone Village remains an active shopping area and attracts thousands of visitors annually.
Boone, an 18th Century pioneer who led settlers from the north into North Carolina, is symbolized at the entrance of the antiques mall.
Fetch Antiques & Interiors is located at 383 Ja Max Drive in Hillsborough, NC. 919-818-6455.
