We remember when we were kids, we used to dread hearing our mother say, “Let’s go Antiquing!”
To us, it meant a long Sunday afternoon of self-entertaining. While waiting for her to slowly sift
through the stuff at the local flea market or antique shop, we would resort to coloring in the car,
impromptu hair styling sessions or flat out public whining and flailing.
Now the words create a different stir in anticipation of what we
might find this time. So, we hitch up the trailer, grab the bungee cords , moving blankets,
and handy wipes and set off on our next big hunt.
We are just hardworking girls with a love of all things old. Those things that have become
outdated but have good bones. Or those “Velveteen Rabbit” things that have become “real” treasures
because of all the love they’ve had. You can keep the new toys but we’ll fight you for the shabby bunny!
We believe that all work and no quirk makes a dull house. Our mixed styles and eras as well as our one-of-a-kind pieces make our shop a unique experience for all. Creativity is our greatest strength and we love the challenge of a much needed makeover or finding a new idea for an old object.
We designed this site in hopes of sharing with you some of our favorite finds from here, there, and everywhere. Our once tiny garage boutique has moved into a four bedroom antique farm house. Not only have we expanded our business in size, but we have grown from two partners to a Tringali Trio as our stepmother, Renee, has officially become a Garage Girl! Talk about repurposing--our new location is the house that Renee grew up in!
Who knew that one conversation parked under an old carport, staring at a rundown garage would turn into a growing family business and so many wishes granted.
If you want to find out more, just look for the pink door!
