Garanimals for Your Home? Yes, Please!

Ok, raise your hand if you wore Garanaimals. You know, the mix-and-match kids clothing from our youth? All the tops with the lion tags go with all the bottoms with the lion tags, making getting dressed so much easier for little people. I can still remember my mom shopping the Garanimals rack looking for cute outfits for my brother and me. Those and Toughskins were wildly popular in our house. It was the 70’s, that’s what you did.  

What was so nice about the line was how easy it was to pull an outfit together. When it comes to interiors, wouldn’t it be great to have Garanimals for your home? This goes with that, and that, and that, and that; all you have to do is look for the lion tag. Sadly, that doesn’t exist, though there is one company that comes dangerously close to reaching Garanimals status. That’s Annie Selke with her mix-and-match brands, Pine Cone Hill and Dash & Albert. Annie makes it so easy to pull together a chic - or whimsical or cozy or whatever vibe you want - bedroom. Duvets with color-coordinated matelasses and shams are perfectly paired with their rugs and then topped off with decorative pillows designed to put an exclamation point on the whole look. Here are just a few examples of what I mean:

If you’re in the market for a new bedroom, or just a new rug and maybe a decorative throw or pillows, then you’re in luck!  This Memorial Day weekend, we will be offering 20 percent off all of Annie Selke’s bedding, accents, and rugs. Stop in and browse our samples, borrow them to see them in your space, then order your goods with confidence. Our team will be on hand to help you find the exact match you are looking for!

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.
