Home & Garden: Sylva’s End of Main Invites a Step Back in Time with Classic Items for the Home

End of Main

If it’s classic home décor with time-tested appeal and usefulness you’re searching for, End of Main vintage market in Sylva is the place. “We create rooms in our 3,600-square-foot store that take our customers back in time to a great-grandmother’s kitchen, a great-aunt’s parlor, a bar, a garage and more,” says owner John Wermuth. “A visit to End of Main connects visitors to the past.”

Wermuth and his partner Mark Bryant go on picking trips often and there’s an element of surprise and adventure whenever they do. “We never know what we’ll find on our travels,” Wermuth says. “It’s the great picks that keep our customers coming back.”

The kitchen section of the store reflects a range of styles and offers everything a modern kitchen still needs. “We recently redecorated our kitchen area allowing for a better display of like items including cookbooks, mixing bowls, utensils, salt and pepper sets and much more,” says Wermuth. “Whether your vibe is country, mid-century or just vintage, we can give your kitchen some pizzazz with something fun, funky and vintage.”

End of Main’s owners believe there are many reasons customers seek out the old as they decorate their own spaces, including the sensation that items bring of simpler times, the memories they represent as objects with histories and the desire to put well-made items already in the world to good use. “End of Main offers a trip back in time, an escape or just a good laugh,” Wermuth says. “We also see folks who are concerned about recycling, reusing and repurposing old things to keep them out of landfills. Buying used items makes sense and preserves history.”

End of Main is located at 482 West Main Street, Sylva. The shop will be open until 8 p.m. on Thursday, April 9, during the Sylva Art Walk. Learn more about End of Main at Facebook.com/endofmain.
