Pioneer Goods Co. was a Boston-based home goods store founded in July 2014, that is now permanently closed. [1] The South End shop, owned by Justin Power, specialized in Rustic Americana décor and furniture. [2] Unfortunately, due to low sales, the shop and website have both been shut down as of 2019.
Owner Justin Power's involvement in the home décor industry began at a young age as he tailed along with his mother, Amy Chalmers, owner of Maison Décor, in search of unique antiques. [2] Following in the footsteps of his mother's Reading-located interior design storefront, Power opened up a second location of Maison Décor in the South End in 2012. [3] [2] The shop slowly transformed from his mother's French aesthetic into a more Americana based vibe. In 2014, Power moved the location of the shop to 764 Tremont Street, [4] where he fully launched his own rustic design appeal, Pioneer Goods Co. – a separate entity of Maison Décor. [3] When the shop's launched in 2014, the University of Massachusetts Boston graduate's store grew notable in the community, winning the Good & Services award for The Improper Bostonian's Boston's Best 2015. [5]
Power gathered inspiration for his store and products from the rustic Americana design aesthetic. [1] Incorporating trash and old items in with newer items emphasizes Power's focus on restored antiques. [6] Power also draws from nature—getting inspiration from Outside Magazine and photographer Ben Moon. [3] Pioneer Goods Co.’s collection was outfitted with pieces from flea markets, estate sales, auctions, yard sales, Goodwill, and Salvation Army. [2]
Annie Sloan Chalk Paint was used by Power to refinish and custom paint old pieces and was carried in store for sale. [1] [2]
