Dry Sink

About Us

The Dry Sink is a home furnishings & decor boutique located in the Shops at Oak Street Mill in downtown Cornelius, NC. Specializing in re-purposed home decor, antiques and gifts offering goods from vintage to unique. The historic mill setting is the perfect environment for this one of a kind antiques shop. Located just minutes away from Charlotte, Cornelius has a variety of shopping experiences that will surely make your trip worthwhile.

The Dry Sink offers many items to rejuvenate your space and an unequaled assortment of gifts. Many items are created in our studio located in the back of the shop. An aged painted finish featuring Annie Sloan chalk paint can be applied to merchandise you select in the store or bring in your own furniture. You'll be thrilled to see how a creative paint job can transform an outdated piece.

As well as jewelry and a line of clothing from Nepal, we also feature a large variety of "men's gifts". Our selection offers items that are more personal than you'll find at any department store or mall.

If our name, The Dry Sink, sounds familiar you've probably seen us at Blacklion or at The Antique Show at Metrolina Expo. We started this adventure with one booth when Blacklion opened in 1996. Since then we've grown to include spaces at all 3 Blacklions, The Depot at Gibson Mill in Concord, Metrolina Expo (1st weekend of the month in Building 16) and now in Cornelius. Our hours in Cornelius are Monday - Saturday 10:00 to 6:00 or by appointment.

So if you are looking for antiques in Cornelius and beautifully designed home decor and home furnishings, you have come to the right place. We look forward to giving you personal service that helps meet your gift and home decor needs.
