Uniquities in Wonderland
Acquire Home Boutique Opens
Alice may have willingly followed the White Rabbit down his hole, but she had no idea what lay beneath. Golden keys, magic potions, tea parties, and croquet?
So not her aesthetic.
She’d do better visiting Acquire, a new North End boutique in which a mixture of luxury vintage decor and modern tabletop treasures delight and inspire.
No Mad Hatter, owner Nikki Dalrymple clothes her sleek yet earthy space with a collection of objects that seamlessly span time and space. Old-fashioned milk glass goblets mingle with contemporary glazed ceramic bowls, John Pomp’s violet beehive vases perch on faux bois ledges, and antique furniture is refurbished with zesty textiles inspired by designers Kelly Wearstler and David Hicks.
It’s the stuff dreams are made of.
Acquire, 61 Salem Street, North End (857-362-7380).
