  • There's still snow on the ground outside, but it's starting to look like Spring in the Beekman 1802 Mercantile

    Spring Awakening

    BY:Dr. Brent

    One of the fun parts of retail is creating an inspiring environment so that customers feel a sense of excitement and wonder when they step into the store.  At Beekman 1802, we completely “turn-over” the store about four times a year. We are now getting ready for gardening season, and this is the last time [...]

    All Tied Up

    BY:Josh and Brent

    We clean up nicely. (When we do.) And for occasions that call for us to polish our muck boots, we often choose bow ties to match. Designer Chris Wrobleski gives us step-by-step instructions on how to make your own beautiful bows. It’s easier than you think. Use these always-tied bows as bow ties, or use the same steps to make a hair ribbon or necklace.

    Five Beautiful Things

    BY:Andrew

      The Re-imagined Stone A stone by any other name would …still go unnoticed. I’ve always had a slight affinity for the underdog, the castaway, the downtrodden, so stones and rocks  inevitably charm me. Unless they soar to outstanding heights or impede our journey from point A to point B, we rarely pay them a [...]

    Dinner by Candelight

    BY:Josh and Brent

      At Juniper Hill Inn in Vermont we saw a clever idea for masking the unattractive “faux candle” stems that are standard on most chandeliers. Measure the diameter and height of the stem.  Using sheets of bees wax that can be purchased at any crafting store, simply cut the appropriate-sized piece and wrap it around [...]

    5 Beautiful Things

      Christmas at Longwood Gardens This time of year, many towns and cities around the United States and Canada enhance their public spaces with Christmas decorations. Tourist attractions, too, are decked out in holiday finery: garlands, twinkle lights, wreaths and Christmas trees. At Longwood Gardens, just 30 miles outside of Philadelphia, the Christmas tradition is [...]

    5 Beautiful Things

    BY:Andrew

      Chalk It Up To the Holidays I am really inspired by the décor at the Beekman 1802 Mercantile from a few years ago: the theme was Black Christmas. Brent really outdid himself with the black-and-white Victorian designs, creating a look of etched whimsy throughout the displays. With the theme in mind, I ventured forth [...]

    Made by Hands

      From artist Jesse Freidin “Last Winter I was invited by Josh and Brent to photograph the incredible craftspeople of their B. 1802 Aritst Collective. After having spent many Summer hours on the Beekman farm photographing Farmer John, his goats and Polka Spot, I was excited to turn my lens on the people of Sharon [...]

    Mail Perfection

    BY:Josh and Brent

      On the first Saturday of every December, Sharon Springs travels back in time as the streets are filled with visitors from all around dressed in their finest. It’s just like entering into a post card. Were things just more beautiful back then or were we all just more romantic? Photographer Richard Walker contributed these [...]

    A Horn of Plenty

    BY:Josh and Brent

      One of the most magical times to be in NYC is during the holidays when all of the stores unveil their holiday windows. Since we opened the Beekman 1802 Mercantile in Sharon Springs three years ago, we’ve tried to bring a little bit of that big city magic to our Main Street. This year’s [...]
