BELHAVEN — It’s a cozy little shop positioned on the corner of Pamlico and Main streets in Belhaven.

Look through the window of Attic Life, and dainty trinkets glisten in the sun on one side; colorful pillows and quilts are nestled in perfect order on the other.

Repurposed antique furniture is positioned throughout the shop, housing clothes, decorations and other products for customers to see.

Everything, even the furniture, is for sale at Attic Life. The shop, in many ways, is an extension of owner Lindsay Hubers’ creativity.

With an eye for novelty gifts and a knack for finding treasure out of trash, Hubers decided to start her business about two years ago. Married at 17 and a stay-at-home mother, it was quite the leap of faith, but to look at Attic Life now, one would think Hubers a seasoned business owner.

When the store first opened in April 2014, it was operating out of a building beside her home.

At that point, Attic Life was just a gift shop, and due to Belhaven’s zoning ordinances, nothing larger was allowed in a residential area.

That didn’t stop it from growing, though.

“It just kind of like slowly happened, and then it just kind of started growing,” Hubers said. “I started seeing the need for different items.”

She said that as her business grew, the town pushed for her to move it into the downtown area, and while the move wasn’t in her plan, that’s what she did anyways about two weeks ago. It was yet another leap of faith.

“I wasn’t going to give up,” she said. “There’s always a good side to everything if you just try to look for it.”

Attic Life has quickly become a collaborative effort around Hubers, an effort of family and friends. Each day, the shop grows in its products offered and creativity.

Two antique tables placed on top of one another now serve as shelves at the front of the store. Its repurposed, wooden tops were redone by Hubers, slathered with a coat of paint in a color called “unicorn spit.”

Farther back in the store, a formerly glass-topped table is now covered with nailed-together tobacco sticks, and T-shirts for sale rest on top. The store also features baby items, southern-themed apparel and a selection of menswear, according to Hubers.

Hubers said she hopes to continue Attic Life’s growth and make her leap of faith a success story.

“I have people who drive from all over to my shop,” she said. “I wouldn’t have had the guts to do this, but I’ve had so much help from friends and family.”
