Country Home Antiques is located
in the Historic Downtown Business District of Watonga, Oklahoma.
The buildings that we call home were built in the early 1900’s. They were the local Hardware stores for a booming community before statehood. They continued as Hardware stores until the mid 1980’s and then sat vacant until the mid 1990’s when the past owners did a renovation and turned the buildings into an Antique store. The Buildings have a rich history, and as you enter the Rose Building the first thing you notice are the ceilings. They are the original Tins along with the Crown Molding, and Wood Floors that make this a true Antique store setting.

About the owners of Country Home Antiques:
Looking into our future, we had a dream of buying an old downtown two story building and having an antique store and making the upstairs our living quarters. We slowly started the search for an old downtown building in Oklahoma that we could possibly afford to renovate.
This appeared to maybe remain a dream after seeing the abandoned buildings in these small towns. But it is amazing what you can find on the Internet, a downtown building in a small town for sale that already houses an antique store. We drove to this small town, which we knew nothing about except they were well known for their cheese factory.
Our breath was taken away when we walked in that antique store and noted immediately the old tin ceilings and the old hardwood floors. The previous owners did a marvelous job in restoring not only one building but two connected buildings where they enjoyed having their antique store and furniture refinishing business for the past 13 years. They were reaching retirement age and were ready to enjoy that time in their life.
So to our surprise our dream was half done and we loved it so much we have made our temporary living quarters in the back of the store until we get the upstairs renovated for our home. That is why we have named our business COUNTRY HOME ANTIQUES as this is a store of our collections we have acquired over the past 10 years to make a country home.
As we pursue this project we
strive to decorate with old things for you to enjoy or for you to
purchase that we have acquired and welcome you into the past, our
COUNTRY HOME IN WATONGA, OKLAHOMA!
