Made for the Mountains

Nestled in Vermont's scenic landscape, Made for the Mountains is a boutique that celebrates the poetry of mountain living through thoughtfully curated clothing and home goods. Our collections blend romantic feminine details with practical New England sensibility, featuring natural fabrics and a color palette inspired by Vermont's changing seasons.

Our Style

Each piece in our boutique tells a story through delicate embroidery, quality construction, and timeless silhouettes that flow with elegant ease while standing up to mountain life. We believe in creating a wardrobe that accompanies you through misty morning hikes, fireside gatherings, and quiet moments of reflection as seasons transition.

The Teaselwood Connection

Made for the Mountains shares its vision with our sister, Teaselwood Design. While Teaselwood offers comprehensive interior design services, our boutique provides an accessible entry point to their renowned New England romantic farmhouse aesthetic. Here, you can personally select elements of this distinctive style without committing to a full-service design experience.

Our Promise

We partner with local artisans and emphasize natural materials in our commitment to intentional living. Each item is selected with care, understanding that true luxury lies in craftsmanship and lasting beauty.

Welcome to our mountain haven—where feminine grace meets mountain strength, and where each piece becomes part of your Vermont story.

Charity Buchika

FOUNDER


With over two decades of expertise in design and the highest industry honor as an NCIDQ-certified professional, I’ve always believed that great design isn’t about following trends—it’s about creating spaces that feel grounded, refreshed, and thoughtfully styled. My journey started in the picturesque town of Skaneateles, NY. Growing up in a historic 1800s farmhouse that once a teasel farm deeply influenced my passion for craftsmanship and artistry.


As a former ski instructor in the New Hampshire and Steamboat Springs, Colorado, mountains, my connection to the mountains runs deep. I’ve carried that spirit into my work, creating homes and properties that pay homage to mountain living. I’m committed to designing luxurious, family-focused multigenerational spaces that foster a connection to nature while offering comfort and style. As a mother, I understand how to design homes where children want to return, places that become the heart of family memories.


You can find me off on the trails, either skiing or hiking with my family and our three border collies, Rio, Leif Erikson, and Mae West.
