SCOUT...an eclectic variety of vintage and new! Great finds for home decor or a unique gift for someone special. Donna has an eye for design and a heart of gold, shes also an amazing artist. People from near and far return to Scout for Donnas amazing ability to give life back to timeless pieces of furniture with a new coat of the popular Farmhouse paint and updated hardware. Local artisans wares including handmade jewelry, essential oil products, soap, pottery, photos, frames, furniture, painted items and more are included in store inventory. Its a must-see shop while visiting downtown...Truly one of Bridgtons FINEST!!!
This shop is wonderful. She stocks it with treasures and great furniture bargains! Donna knows a good value and passes it on to her customers. We’ve furnished half my daughters apartment here! Go for a visit. Worth the trip!
I love this beautiful gem of a shop! I always find something I can’t live without.... beautiful furniture, a variety of home decorations that speak to your senses and your heart.... all very nicely made and crafted. A little bit of everything for everyone with very reasonable prices. Staff is amazing and always cheerful. It’s a regular stop for me! You won’t be disappointed 💕
I’ve been vacationing in Bridgetown my whole life, and Scout is my favorite store there! I always find such meaningful things there, and all the things are wonderful to look at. Some highlights of what I’ve collected are these sweet pillows with an owl and a fox for my baby sons room - they were the first things I bought him when I found out I was pregnant! I also have a beautiful pitcher with a fern on it that I got last spring! A wonderful store!!!
Scout is a wonderful spot to find something beautiful for your home. It’s also one of the best places in the area to find the perfect thoughtful and unique hostess or other type of gift. The best present I got last year was a gift certificate to Scout. Donna is a treasure!
Love this place. She does the best job painting furniture. And her finds are do unique. You do not want to miss this shop!
This is a great place to find furniture, jewelry, tableware, pictures and more. Donna had some wonderful seasonal decorations this year. Lovely handmade small furniture pieces. Stop by. Youll love it.
Really lovely shop with beautiful furniture and decorations. We were looking for a sideboard for our new apartment and even though there was nothing available at that moment, Donna was very helpful and went searching for one. Within a few weeks, she found a beautiful sideboard and painted it for us. We love it, and we will definitely come back for more things for our place.
This store is a must if you are in the area. We have purchased furniture to paintings (done by Donna) to furnish our home. Donna and her husband are so talented and creative. Every time I visit Scout there is always something new and exciting that I never walk out empty handed. Donna has made Scout a main stop in our little town of Bridgton. Her compassion for finding fun things to brighten up your home or actually making unique pieces of beautiful furniture is why we will always shop at Scout. Check it out...
This shop has many great finds and reasonably priced. Donna is always changing the shop interior at least from month to month, so there are always new finds and worth frequent stops. Donna has wonderful vision for color and decorating. Great little shop in Bridgton!
We stumbled upon this delightful store by accident. Happily we found several must have pieces for our home as well as gifts for others. On each occasion the owner and staff went out of their way to be helpful while not hovering as we browsed. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone (and the prices are fair, too!).
Scout is my favorite shop in Bridgton! I love her style and the way she keeps changing things up! Donna is so friendly and kind and always makes me feel welcome! Her prices are fantastic! I feel very fortunate her in our community!
Scout offers a unique selection & variety for everyone. If you see it & love it, you’d better buy it because it likely won’t be there next time. Donna has a knack for finding unique and quality items and she has a wonderful sense of style!
I am a frequent visitor to Bridge Bridgton Maine and loves stopping in to Donna’s vintage/antique store. They’re always some great finds there. I actually get to see Donna who went to school with me years ago!!! It is a wonderful shop and people should definitely stop in. 😍👍
What an AMAZING local business. Helpful and friendly staff; the items are fantastic, reasonably priced and perfectly displayed. You never know what you will find! I cannot leave this store without buying (at least) one thing. Whenever we have friends or company at our house, someone usually compliments some furniture or decor item I have displayed...and you can bet that item came from SCOUT.The owner, Donna, is truly one of the kindest souls youll ever meet with an expert eye for decor. A definite must-stop-shop when visiting the lakes region or whenever you find yourself in Bridgton.
Scout is my favorite store in the Lakes Region in Maine. I always find a special treasure I cant live without! I cant wait to go back this summer!
My favorite shop in Bridgton, ME for new & antique finds. I especially love this place because all of the pieces are priced to move so inventory is always changing. My wife & I visit every few weeks & its always like walking into a new shop. If your in the lakes region I highly recommend a visit!
I always stop in Scout when in Bridgeton, and rarely leave empty handed! Donna has a great eye for unique and cool things, new and old. Just go! You won’t be disappointed.
Scout is an amazing shopping experience every time. My favorite store in western Maine. You will always find something. Love it!
I have bought countless items from this shop.For myself: a one-of-a-kind coffee table, beautiful antique bread box (to hide kitchen clutter), realistic electric candles (to use where flame would be a hazard), etc.For others: jewelry, cards, ornaments, kitchen towels, unique objects, etc.And then there is HER ART! Her art is amazing, award-winning, beautiful, uplifting. She has worked in different mediums and styles over the years. I cant wait to she what she will be doing this year.Last, I have to mention that her prices are veryreasonable, and you can find treasures at every price point. Donna is a wonderful person, so you should just pop in to meet her!
I love this shop! I can always find something unique and useful. And Donna is the friendliest and most helpful store owner! There is a fun mix of repurposed and new items for my home and also a bit of jewelry. The store is arranged in a charming way that allows you the opportunity to browse into all the nooks and crannies to discover all Donna has to offer. But you better grab the item that catches your eye! Many items are snatched up quickly by loyal customers! This is a must-visit shop in Bridgton!
If you are looking for antiques or rare finds for you house this is a great place. We bought 6 pillows with animal faces on them and they are great. Nice place for original art and old photos of the local area.
One of my favorite shops in Bridgton. If you like unique, vintage furniture and beautiful artwork then this is the shop for you. I have multiple pieces from Scout and love all of them!
Scout is my favorite place to shop in Bridgton. Ive used the Farmhouse paint sold there, and love the results. Always getting compliments from visitors to my home about the things Ive gotten from Scout. Its a gem.

Wonderful shop in Bridgton! Donna always has great inventory and is super pleasant to deal with. I often go out of my way to hit up this shop on my way home from Bethel. Stop in and see what Scout has to offer. You won’t be disappointed!
When I relocated from California to Bridgton, and purchased my happy little home in downtown Bridgton, it was empty. The only furniture I brought with me was my bedroom set and a few folding chairs. These folks and their wonderful store saw me through a milestone transition. Both with their fabulous finds, and their warm friendship. LOVE ME SOME SCOUT!!!!
Scout is the perfect shop if you are looking for quality ideas and items for your home. From placemats and coasters to repurposed or handcrafted furniture, you can find it here. Donna will answer questions and give suggestions but is never pushy or impatient. I love to bring friends to Scout.
I have not been personally to Donnas store, but I can speak of her many talents, over the years....she is an absolute gem, one of a kind, filled with talent and a love of art. Cant wait to visit her and her store one day;)
The best customer care, if your looking for something And Donna doesn’t have it on hand she will look for it. Very reasonable price and her designs are beautiful.i don’t go anywhere else!
They always have the cutest stuff and Donna the shop owner is so lovely!
Donna is a thoughtful, artistic, genuinely sweet business owner. You will find so many treasures through her.
Wonderful shop full of surprises for the home, excellent service and great ideas with helpful hints on how to achieve your home goals.
Donna is absolutely, hands down, one of the friendliest shop owners Ive ever known! Not only does her shop have the loveliest items, curated in such a lovely way, but she welcomes you through her door with open arms, a smile, and true care. Our home is adorned with so many pieces from Scout (or painted with her Farmhouse line). Weve been visiting her since the Crabapple days...or, as my boys lovingly call it, Tabble Apple...because she even welcomes them with kindness and they love the shop as much as their Mumma does! We will forever be customers!
Beautifully curated shop mixing an array of new, upcycled and antique pieces in a range of traditional, whimsical & boho that blends together seamlessly
Linda Sprague Pappas Wish she were closer to the Bath area. Such a lovely store with unique items.
Some of the most unique items Ive seen anywhere!
Wonderful mix of special home finds, both new and old.
Best shop in Bridgeton!! Inventory changes all the time you have to visit anytime you are in town!
Its warm, inviting, and loaded with great finds!
On a side road Diamond. Always unique treasures...The owners not to shabby either.
