Our Story
Hearth and Home Mercantile is a beautifully designed home goods store, offering an exquisitely curated selection of home décor, unique gifts, hand-selected antiques, and whimsical children’s items. Nestled in the historic district on main street in Middletown, Maryland, and Frederick, Maryland, we specialize in bringing you a blend of French country, primitive farmhouse, and English cottage design.
Our stores are a sanctuary for those seeking inspiration to create their ideal home, with warmth, personality, and the perfect balance of minimalism and maximalism. We are local, family-run, and operated, and specialize in sourcing superior home décor, working with local artisans and quality small businesses for all our new items, and hand-selecting all our antique treasures.
The Owner and Designer
Heather Hughes, the owner and founder, is a seasoned designer and artist. She makes much of the merchandise herself, from the hand-poured soy candles and indoor forced blooms to sewn seasonal favorites and more.
She hand-selects all of the antiques and is a second-generation antique dealer; growing up going to auctions and in her mother’s multiple antique stores, she has an eye for inspirational, unique finds. Heather also offers interior design services for those looking to create their perfect space.
