OUR STORY
Hello! We’re Chris & Lauren. Back in 2018, Bridge Street Rustics was born, with the goal to hunt for New England treasures and make wood creations that we could fill our antiques booth with at Antiques on the Farmington in Collinsville CT. It started out as a side gig, as we both had backgrounds unrelated to treasure hunting. Chris worked in the emergency services field for almost three decades, as an EMT, Firefighter and a Police Officer. Lauren has a masters in education and a degree in marketing, and spent years as a server, teacher and marketing manager. Who knew that the skills acquired over the years would be the perfect recipe for what we are doing now, helping families find new homes for their loved items.
