Customers fill the parking lot at home decor store Hammertown Barn on Friday, April 3, after founder Joan Osofsky announced the store would be closing permanently. The designer furniture outlet operated the flagship store in Pine Plains for more than 40 years and stores in Rhinebeck, New York, and Great Barrington, Massachusetts.

The store is best known for offering a mix of contemporary and rustic-style furniture rooted in the region’s rural traditions.
"What began as a small store in Pine Plains grew into something far beyond what I even imagined — not just three stores, but a true community," Osofsky wrote.
Shoppers cars spill out onto Route 199 on Friday, April 3, as their owners crowd into home decor store Hammertown Barn for the first day of a 40% off closing sale. Founder Joan Osofsky announced on Thursday, April 2, the business would be shutting its doors permanently.Photo by Nathan MillerOsofsky described the decision as bittersweet and said she will be at the stores in their final days to celebrate and sell the remaining merchandise. The stores will remain open until inventory is sold.
Osofsky told customers that all items will be sold at a 40% discount. Consignment and already reduced-price items are not included in the closing sale.
"This closing is bittersweet, but the friendships, memories, and connections we shared will endure," Osofsky said.
Customers at the store on Friday, April 3, echoed that sentiment. Jennifer Enloe said she had been visiting the store since the '90s, sometimes just to browse and enjoy the homey feeling inside the shop without any intention of buying anything.
"I would just go there just to walk around and feel at home," Enloe said. "It makes me kind of sad, but I understand it's time for Joan to move on. It surprises me how I feel about it."
