When Mr. 3 and I were in Nashville a couple of weeks ago, we stopped by the Downtown Antique Mall on 8th St near the Gulch. I didn't take note of too many prices because there weren't what I would call thrift store goods, but they had a great selection of antique, vintage, and really interesting finds. I think the store is set up as a booths with a different dealer responsible for setting up each space. Lots of vendors set up little vignettes with different themes....which was great! Overall, I loved getting to poke around another city's vintage finds since D.C. is so seriously lacking. I'd love to go back and check out more of Nashville's stores someday! Here's a few of my finds, starting of with a very interesting display of chemist beakers?
Great set of 12 demitasse cups with ornate metalwork. These were in perfect condition from what I could tell. I thought they were awesome but I can't imagine ever serving 12 cups of espresso or coffee...nor could I figure out how to travel with that many breakables.
This was one of the cool vignettes set up to look like a mid-century office space.
Really pretty china cabinet with hand painted detailing.
Absolutely beautiful pearl colored silk couch. I believe it was $500.
These three chairs and side table caught my eye. I liked the lines and the blue fabric on the seats.
I love love love the glamour of this chandelier! Really great find.
There was an interesting selection of lamps.
Finally, this chair looked super comfortable and would go great in a man cave by making it a bit more upscale than your typical old recliner.
I spotted a lot of other great finds at this store and I'm kicking myself for not picking up a set of ceramic coasters and some red glass plates that would have gone great with my thrift store cocktail set...buuuut they were a little too expensive for my budget ($25 for the coasters and each plate was like $12 or $14). Overall, if I find myself in Nashville again, I definitely would come back to the Downtown Antique Mall and probably spend more time in the area checking out the other antique and thrift stores in the area.
