The Cellar Door opened its' door for business in December 2008.  The concept started years ago when Stephanie Simonson and Annette Seivert found they both had a love for old windows.  They got together and created home decor using old windows and architectural elements, calling their creations "Shabby Shack."  They both dreamed of having a shop one day to sell their re-purposed decor.

An opportunity came up, but knowing that they did not have enough of their own items to open a store, they searched for other crafters and artisans who wanted to sell what they created and The Cellar Door was born.  The girls started off with 6 vendors and today have more than 100!  The vendors are from Dawson and the surrounding area.
In Jan. 2011 Annette became the sole owner of The Cellar Door. The girls still create Shabby Shack Home Decor together.
 
"This community has so many creative people, it is amazing to see what people are creating on their own and I love to showcase and sell their creations."  Annette commented. 

Currently the store features jewelry, purses, photography, paintings, ceramics, wood working, woven rugs, quilt runners, crocheting, knitting, sewing and hand made greeting cards and their own repurposed architectural decor.

The store has a mix of old art forms and fresh new ideas.  The look of the store is ever changing, always accepting new merchandise.  A week does not go by without new artisans coming in and inquiring about selling their pieces!
