EASTON, Pa. – A destination for throw pillows, wood crafts and other home furnishings is ending operations in Northampton County.
Abode Home Decor, offering “rustic, yet modern home decor,” will close its brick-and-mortar location on Jan. 28 at 131 N. Third St. in downtown Easton.
Owners Krista and Brian Lichtenberger and the Abode crew announced the store’s upcoming closure “with great sadness” on the business’ Facebook page.
“Over the last 4 years we have gained such wonderful friends and supporters,” they wrote. “While the decision to close did not come lightly, we made it in order to focus on our family and enjoy the time we have with our growing kids.”
The Lichtenbergers began Abode as a home-based business in 2020 before opening their first brick-and-mortar shop in Nazareth in 2021.
In early June, the Lichtenbergers opened Abode’s second brick-and-mortar location in Easton and operated both Northampton County locations for a few weeks before closing the Nazareth shop in late June.
Beginning Jan. 4 and continuing until all items are gone, the Easton store will hold a giant “tent sale,” the couple said in their most recent announcement.
Prices will be up to 70% off retail and the business’ fixtures and furniture will also be for sale.
The store features a wide variety of holiday décor, tableware, wall art and other pieces.
Only cash will be accepted, and the store requests that shoppers bring their own bags.
“We also ask for kindness, in both your comments AND when you enter the store to shop,” the announcement continues.
“This decision has been very difficult to make. We will honor any unused gift certificates during this time. Thank you again for the last 4 years of support. Don’t forget to continue to support your small businesses.”
