    tara-and-percy

    Jersey Ice Cream Co was founded in the summer of 2010. Two kids in love found an old embossing stamp at a flea market, dreamed up a design empire, and then set to work trying to create it. Today Tara Mangini and Percy Bright spend their time moving house to house, job to job, leaving beautiful homes in their wake. They believe in craftsmanship, timelessness, and leaving things better than they found them. They do not make ice cream, but will happily have some if you’re offering.

Scovill Green Dresser

July 23, 2012 by Percy Bright 1 Comment

Last Friday we took a little day trip up to Morris CT to visit a new friend we met at Brimfield. Boy was it worth it. Here’s a little peek into one of his barns:

barn full of industrial factory cleanout goods, vintage and antique finds, in connecticut

And that’s only one of four aisles in one of his barns.

Best of all, everywhere you look there are patches of our favorite color: Scoville green. Our friend occasionally does factory cleanouts for Scovill, a one-time giant of American industry who used to paint all their work benches, trash cans, wood trim, etc., the most perfect light green color you can possibly imagine:

tall drawers in scovill green, ammo boxes, and other industrial goods

So as daylight faded we started filling up our Uhaul trailer. Stools, chairs, drawers, pink Pyrex, and tons of Scovill green.

But our favorite piece?

This beautiful work bench has one door and eleven drawers of varying size, all of which slide nicely. Extremely unusual construction from gorgeous old pine. It measures 56 inches wide, 42 tall, and 29 deep.

$950. Email us here with questions, or check it out in our etsy shop!

And if we had any more space in our little apartment, we’d keep it for ourselves forever.

Wasting Paper and Writing Nonsense

While packing up boxes and boxes of vintage books during our recent move, I somehow stumbled upon this amazing snippet about New York City.

In real life this is just a stack of books and shells, but this picture makes it feel like a little work of art.

And I sort of totally love it.

Best in Show

Ah, Brimfield is an overwhelming blast, but how wonderful it feels to be back in beautiful Brooklyn.

Though to be honest I almost thought our van was going to die on the way up, (if you saw this thing, you’d know what I mean) we made it home safely with a refreshed farmer’s tan and a New York apartment sized haul.

Finds will be trickling onto our etsy page, so be sure to check things out there over the next few weeks. In the meantime, take a peek at our favorite vintage find, a 1920’s clothes parcel that looks like it came right off a movie set. Or I guess more appropriately, right out of the 1920’s.

Perfection.

It’s summer!

Get outside, run away from your desk, eat ice cream, jump in pools, wear sun dresses, eat watermelon, listen to the Beach Boys and dance, dance, dance.
