Thanks to good timing and a lot of ambition, Northfield has a new home decor shop in the former Art on Water gallery.

Northfield news reported that resident Vanessa Ross had been thinking about opening a small shop in the area for a while, but didn't expect the opportunity to do so would come so suddenly.

"I was thinking about something in the next two or three years," Ross said.

"This all came up pretty fast — I happened to walk by and see the space was open. I jumped on the opportunity."

Ross' store, A Cat in The Attic, offers "primitive" home decor, selling items such as converted furniture, candles, soaps, and satchels.

"I was hoarding antiques at home," she said. "I thought I would sell things online."
