Serena and Lily Kate Crib Set, click to view moreALEXANDRIA, VA — Visit Red Barn Mercantile April 25 to see the latest bedding styles from Serena & Lily. Our designers and a Serena & Lily representative will be on hand to discuss creating the perfect sleep space for you or your little ones.

“Bring your swatches and paint samples because this will be your chance to see a wide variety of Serena & Lily bedding, from crib sets to king size,” said Amy Rutherford, owner of Red Barn Mercantile.

The show will run from 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. at 113 S. Columbus St. in Old Town Alexandria. Treats and beverages will also be served.

“I really enjoy the Serena & Lily product and I think my customers will to,” Rutherford said. “I also feel like we are sort of kindred spirits. I mean, here are two moms who had a vision of beauty and charm that no one else in the market recognized. They are always evolving, but also stay true to their core values and style-driven character.”

Serena Dugan and Lily Kanter released their first bedding collection in 2004 and turned the nursery industry upside down. Their bedding and crib sets are fresh and dynamic with color and pattern combinations that are sophisticated in their simplicity, timeless and comfortable.
