About Our Store

At Mary Barnett’s, we’re proud to be a family-owned business with deep roots in the Norfolk, Virginia community. Our story began in 1945 as Barnett Hardware, located at the corner of Granby Street and Little Creek Road in the Wards Corner area. Over the decades, we’ve grown and evolved into Mary Barnett’s Gifts and Decorative Accessories, a beloved local boutique known for timeless charm and curated style.
Since 2000, our store has called the historic Riverview neighborhood home, welcoming generations of shoppers through our doors. We’re more than just a neighborhood shop, we’re a regional destination for loyal customers across Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, the Peninsula, Eastern Shore, eastern North Carolina, and even as far as Carrollton and Washington, D.C.
Our commitment to quality, style, and personal service has made Mary Barnett’s a go-to shopping experience for home décor, gifts, and accessories that leave a lasting impression.
