Field Trip: Antique Row of St. Louis

Have you been to Cherokee Antique Row? While shopping in St Louis this past weekend, my MIL and I stumbled upon 6 blocks of shop after shop of antique shops, diners, cafes and vintage clothing stores. A second hand lovers (such as myself) dream street.

We parked the car and just walked (really fast, it was snowing and freezing cold!) to each store that held the promise of my next "find".





This was probably the best antique shop I've been in of late. Some really amazing pieces of furniture....consoles, buffets, tables, chairs, china hutches...whoever the buyer is has a great eye and style. While most of it was not in my taste, I can still see the value of everything selected for the shop and I was really left wondering where was it all found! It makes it easy though to have it all in one location and if you were searching for a particular piece, I bet you would find it here. I fell in love with a blown glass chandy and a pair of chairs, neither of which came home with me, maybe next time. ;)

I was also in heaven when we entered A Light Above, a spectacular collection of stunning chandeliers from every era imaginable. Any style, finish and size could be found here, oh and sconces and mirrors too, all vintage, all divine.

China Find, a source for dishaholics everywhere. Sets of dinnerware galore from the 1940's through today...Lenox, Noritake, you name it, they had it. I loved this vintage green glass.

The Purple Cow, yes you read it right, that's the name of this next store, I loved this mid-century beauty:I love this iconic chair too, I was totally channeling my inner Kelly Wearstler!
This vintage boutique specialized in mid-century, it was probably my favorite, with all the retro goods.




We had fun on Antique Row, so next time you are in St. Louis, be sure to check it out!


Tomorrow, I will be showing you some easy DIY Artwork, you are gonna love it!

I love this chair!





Look at these linens!!
















I am always inspired when I leave this wonderful place! If you can get there, do....you'll be happy you did.

Girl's Day Out! (Kansas City. MO)


What better way to spend a Monday!

A couple of friends and I took a road trip to Kansas City to visit Nell Hill's.

Enjoy the photos...




















What I think is most impressive about this store is the artwork and furniture...both out of my price range, but oh so pretty to look at!

If you ever get the chance to visit Nell Hill's

take it!
