Made In the Shade — Local services in Andover

This past weekend, my wife and I spent time in Andover, NJ, exploring several antique centers—and what a treat it was! The pride and dedication these small business owners and vendors put into their work is inspiring. You can feel the sense of community and teamwork that makes every visit feel special.

Each time we visit, we leave with a unique find, adding character and history to our home. The Andover Antique Centers’ weekend event was bustling with customers, and it was easy to see how the hard work and collaboration between vendors created an incredible shopping experience.

RUDE!! Took my lamp there for re-wiring and wasn't told I'd be CHARGED a FEE to have it looked at UNTIL I GOT THERE (I called before I left because I'm disabled & didn't want to waste a trip.) ALSO: The door was locked when I got there at 3:45pm even though they were supposed to be open until 4pm (NOT 24hrs like it says on Facebook - I'll suggest the edit btw.) The 'employee' said she wasn't the owner and didn't have an excuse for why the door was locked...I saw her inside so it's not like she was out back...

Great place and very kind staff , Hoda is amazing and so talented , she painted my two side table and changed them completely . My bedroom furniture looks gorgeous , she really works hard and does everything to help you anyway she can. I also met the owner and likewise she was so helpful looking all over the store to find a match for a beautiful vintage side lamp I purchased and yes she did. The prices also are reasonable. I love...
