The 150-year-old dairy barn original to Gina Galvin’s property is anything but your typical barn. Complete with its original stalls and three large haylofts, Gina’s 30,000-square-foot barn has been refitted to serve as a place of inspiration for retail buyers and shoppers alike. Seated at the “Peacock Park,” the namesake for Gina’s wholesale line of home décor, and filled with artful vignettes, the inspiration arrives in the form of a barn sale that is open for one weekend each year. “It’s really an inspiration station where people can come and get inspired and take away not only products but display ideas,” Gina says.
