Welcome to a new week! I hope your weekend was a good one. Beside getting a little work done, switching out my closet from winter to spring clothes and going to Scott Antique Market, I spent a fair amount of time out and about shopping and visiting a couple of stores here in Atlanta that have been on my list of things to do.
Here’s a look at my weekend from behind the lens! {warning, photo heavy post}
First up is my visit to Scott Antique Market on Thursday. Despite not being in the mood to dig through piles of stuff, I did come away with a few treasures. I was also excited to see lots of new vintage modern pieces from one of my favorite dealers, Parker Kennedy Living. David and Lance are two of the nicest people and boy do they have an eye for style and design.
I purchased this beautiful bubble pattern Jadite bowl. This is my first Jadite purchase and now I’m torn between putting this bowl in my Etsy shop or keeping it for myself.
I also came home with this unique milk glass bowl.
This wood dough bowl was also a purchase that will be going into the shop.
These vintage cookie molds were old and rusty but I loved their charm.
This is the Mexican porcelain dish I got. The colors and pattern were what drew me to this piece.
After doing a bit more shopping, I made my way over to the Parker Kennedy booth. It was so refreshing to see the bold colors they infused their booth with this show.
These wood cabinets with rattan doors were pretty stunning. I think they would look great in a beach house.
How about these turquoise chest? I can totally envision a bedroom designed around these beauties.
This magenta piece was really stunning.
This was my favorite piece in the PKL booth. I adore the concave front, the dramatic green color and the gold accents on the doors.
Loved the whimsical feel of this flower mirror. It would be pretty stunning in a bathroom.
The color didn’t stop with the furniture at PKL, there were lots of accessories in fun vibrant colors as well.
If you get a chance to shop Scott Antique Market, you’ll definitely want to check out the Parker Kennedy booth. You can also connect with them on Facebook here.
On Saturday I had planned to head back out to Scott’s but had a last-minute change of plans and decided to stay in town and visit a few stores and check out The Revival vintage market that was taking place. My first stop was Steve McKenzie’s. I have wanted to visit the store for a while and after connecting with the owners, Steve and his wife Jill via Facebook and Twitter, I was excited to stop in for a visit. I met my friend Dorothy at the store and I had a great time meeting Steve and getting a tour of his shop.
In addition to being a southeast showroom for Grange, Steve and Jill have created a beautiful store filled with modern and vintage furnishing, antiques, decorative accents and tabletop pieces. Steve’s custom fabric and furniture line as well as ceramic pieces from R Wood are also available in the store.
Such beautiful chairs in a stunning orange fabric. I loved the sleek silhouette and the back cushion detail. Steve has also designed a sofa with this same detail.
Here’s a line-up of some of Steve’s custom fabrics. His new collection is also great and will be available soon.
Love this cute little bar cabinet. Perfect for a nook, corner or man’s office.
Just a few of the accessory pieces available… vintage wine barrel lazy susan, R Wood bowl and a vintage jar.
Such a cute chair!
This room within the store features a curtain wall in one of Steve’s fabrics and one of his original pieces of artwork. And, those red globe pendants are to-die-for!
This vintage tulip table and chair set were given a new look with the addition of fabric mixing on the chairs.
I wish you could see this antique table up close. The carved wood base is so beautiful and the bleached wood (done by Steve) really gave the table a soft, weathered appearance.
There is a wall of pillows in the full range of fabrics from Steve’s line.
On our way out of the store I spotted this really cool fold up desk caddy. The inside has cubbies for storing papers and office supplies, and when not in use the box folds up and can be stored or carried to another location.
Steve Mckenzie’s is a fabulous store that is open, airy and easy to shop. And, I also love that there are items in all price points so the store is affordable for everyone. I can’t wait to visit the store again.
Next on our stop was The Revival vintage market. This pop-up market was a bit disappointing in my book. I had gotten the impression from the advertising that there would be a good number of vintage sellers at this market and there really weren’t. Most of the products were handcrafted and/or up-cycled new pieces made to look vintage. There was jus a sprinkling of true vintage goods and the market felt more like a craft and artist market to me (see photos below). Despite all that Dorothy and I took a spin around. I did mange to spend $4 on some vintage wallpaper samples which I’m going to use to make some of my designer clipboards so the trip was not a total loss.
Wind chimes made from old tin pails and silverware.
Framed vintage dollies.
I can officially check The Revival off my list and don’t think I’ll be going back again.
The last stop on my shopping palooza was the Westside Market.
The newly opened Westside Market is a collection of booths that sell Vintage Furniture, Antique Furniture, Lighting, Lamps, Decorative Home Accessories, Framed Art, Floral Arrangements, Chairs, Upholstery, Drapes, Pillows, Original Art and Bed Linens. A little of everything. The market has been open for about a month but has not had its official grand opening celebration yet.
I was glad to see that some of my favorite dealers from Scott Antique Market have opened booths and I hope that more will follow so that this market will become a true vintage shopping destination. Here’s a look inside Westside Market…
A mix of old and new.
Original art.
Vintage collectibles and décor.
Up-styled vintage pieces.
Some true antiques.
More original artwork.
Painted and upholstered pieces.
I thought these retro modern chairs were fun.
Some new garden inspired décor and floral.
Keeping my fingers crossed that the Westside Market will develop into a great shopping destination.

Writing this post has taken all the energy I have today, especially since my computer froze on me and I had to start it all over! I hope you enjoyed my shopping palooza!
Lots on the to-do list this week including a bit more shopping at the Lakewood Antiques show on Friday. I hope you week ahead is Fabulous!
