What does one do with a collection of large, vintage barns, resting on the remains of your grandparents’ farm? Why you load them with fabulous vintage treasures, decorate them, and invite enthusiastic, like-minded people to enjoy. That’s exactly what Virginia Crum, owner of Chartreuse & Co, did. Joined by a dozen other dealers with over-the-top energy levels and creative talents, Crum opens her barns in Buckeystown, Maryland one weekend a month.
“You can just feel the energy building throughout the week just before we open,” gushes Crum. “It’s such a thrill to see all the great finds everyone has collected through the month; I find it way too distracting!” Virginia and her team scour the country – literally from Texas to Florida to the Mid-Atlantic and New England – seeking those unique and inspiring pieces that set Chartreuse & Co apart.

The goal of Chartreuse & co is to display their ever-changing vintage offerings in a way that inspires and demonstrates to customers how to decorate with these extraordinary pieces. And to price things so that anyone can afford the great items they’ve discovered. Virginia's barn sales were recently featured a Washington Post article and she will be in the May issue of Southern Living magazine.
Viringia's barns are piled high with treasures, ready for the Spring Market! I want these old riding boots.
A great collection of vintage clocks.
These curvy chairs have so much character!
