Geneseos newest retail shop is a mix of vintage, shabby chic and chippy primitives.

VintageRedheads is located at 101 S.State Street, in the former Geneseo City Hall building. The shop opened to the public on Saturday,March 25.

Owners Nan and Russ Trahan decided that they were ready to take the step of offering their unique blend of decor in a permanent location.

We had been doing shows and loved it, but felt we were ready to simplify and consolidate in one location, said Nan..

The Trahans have been married for 30 years and are both ordained ministers. They share a passion for the hand-made, authentic and unusual.

Russ makes many of the pieces here in the store, said Nan. They are all one of a kind.

In addition to their displays, the Trahans have a master plan for other endeavors.

Upstairs we are planning vignettes of decades, a meeting room for events and even wedding design and decor services. We are planning to offer couples vintage collections for weddings that will go beyond the ordinary, said Nan.

Wedding designs will incorporate florals along with period pieces reflecting a couples personal style.

The Trahans are planning a grand opening on April 8.

We are so happy to be in this location with the support and encouragement of so many. Our journey continues to be blessed, said Nan.
