Alice Jones, Owner of Bluestone Interiors
bought the store in 1998. She spent a year
renovating the space and collecting her own
inventory to fill the spaces left deserted by
the previous owner.
“This one showroom was all that was
open, there was nothing else open in the
store, so I went ahead and remodeled the
back rooms. There weren’t steps even to get
upstairs,” Jones recalled. “We had to do a lot
of buying to fill it up, we opened the second
room, third room and side porch and
built the steps so that customers could get
upstairs. We had to totally redo the floors
upstairs. We got rug racks, it was a year long
process to get all of that done. We were going
to markets in the meantime and had all
the merchandise come in and actually get
everything set up before we actually opened
the doors again, it was a lot of work.”
The store opened to the public in 1999.
