The Elegant Attic is one of the most interesting shops on the Outer Banks. The floral landscaping that greets you upon arrival is a signal as to how seriously these folks take beauty and presentation. Inside you will find treasures galore including the shop’s main focus – centuries-old antique stained glass windows. But a stained glass window isn’t just a window to the Elegant Attic folk. Ask for a tour of the home attached to the shop to view just how these windows can be used in a home – in widows, hanging from ceilings, as room dividers and more. The interior is stunning, in a word, and filled with antiques, as is the shop where you also will find gifts, Indian-style tunics, linens, jewelry and favorites such as antique glassware, quilts and salt and pepper shakers. The shop’s displays present like works of art all their own. You will love browsing here in this must-see stop. When the shop closes for the season, they still are available by appointment.
