SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Bluebird Home Decor, located at 514 State Street in Schenectady, is closing its doors after almost 11 years. Owner Nicole Broughton made the announcement on Facebook on January 12th.
“A little over a year ago, I started feeling a push that I couldn’t ignore,” Broughton said. “After much thought and prayer, we have made the very difficult decision to exit our Schenectady retail store.”
Broughton opened Bluebird in August 2013. The store features handmade, vintage, and new art, rugs, pillows, mugs, cards, clothing, and other home decor items. Broughton said he doesn't know what he will do in the future, but he plans to continue selling his products in some form.
Broughton said everything in the store is currently on sale and all sales are final. Store hours are Thursday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Bluebird will be open until mid-March, Broughton said. She hopes to hold a tent sale in May and open a holiday shop somewhere in the metropolitan area during the holiday season.
“Creating and sharing this space with you has been one of the greatest honors and blessings of my life,” Broughton said. “I will miss you all very much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support over the years.”
