If you haven’t heard about Scott’s Antiques Market and you live in Atlanta, you are missing out on a treasure trove of fun. It’s about the best antiques market that is still left in Atlanta that I know of (waahhhh, I still miss the OLD Lakewood Market at the Fairgrounds) and I have found some of my favorite furniture pieces at Scott’s.
It is always full of eye-candy, one of a kind finds, and is purely fun for browsing. There are 2 huge warehouses full of great stuff, as well as plenty outside as well. This trip, I didn’t even make it to the 2nd building, but saw plenty to photograph just in the South Building. It’s held the 2nd weekend of every month.
Maybe I will hit it again this weekend, who knows?
I met up again in May with new blog friend, Sherry Hart, who’s house was featured in the May 2011 issue of Better Homes & Gardens. If you haven’t checked that out yet, go and take a peek a her beautiful home. She has promised I will get to see it in person soon and I’m holding her to it! 🙂 Sherry is a wonderful designer and has been at it for a long, long time. We weren’t really interested in these dusty pink chairs, it was simply a photo op. 🙂
So, enjoy the stroll through Scott’s Antiques Market. I’m not going to narrate every pic, but you will get the idea on how much fun it is. If you’re looking for something special, chances are you will find it at Scott’s.
And I hope you enjoy LOTS of pics, cause I took a ton of pics. Seems I don’t know when to stop snappin’. 🙂
Loads of old shutters, wouldn’t these be fun to play with?
Furniture galore as far as you can see. All styles, all years.
Beautiful wood pieces and you’ll find plenty of painted things too.
Look what I spied?! Do you remember my sweet red bunny fabric that I had for so long? There it is, still going strong on this cute pillow. Awww….
Loved everything in this pic, especially the mercury glass and that horse head. You will find all sorts of one of a kind things at Scott’s.
Antique rugs
Frenchy chairs galore. Have they been reading blogs, do you think?
Stacks and stacks of fabric remnants, a dream for those who love fabrics (I do!).
Great sentiment on this pillow. 😉
These guys out of Alabama had some neat old doors made into hall trees. I thought these were so unique and stopped to chat with them a bit. They are Jeff & Donna Lee out of Alabama (I think down near Montgomery). Called LeGAllee Antiques and Faux Finishes, you can reach them at 334-451-0212 if interested in checking out their wares further. They are here every month at Scott’s in space J-8, South Building.
I told them I’m a blogger and would give them a shout-out. Nice guys! And I loved their stuff.
Now, who does this piece remind you of? Yep, Miss Mustard Seed herself. Gorgeous painted piece. Looks like that could be some famous Annie Sloan chalk paint, which I have yet to use, but have heard so much about.
Beautiful prints and vintage art.
Check out these chairs! Didn’t check the price, but they are pretty.
Big fat French armoires always get my attention.
Old and rustic are the words at Scott’s. So many beautiful things to take in. It’s impossible to see it all.
Chairs, oh yeah, check out the chairs.
This piece was very unique, with a real butcher block top.
If I had room, I’d get a dozen of these old glass floats.
They are just beautiful to me.
Spot anything you’d like to bring home? Yeah, me too!
These old architectural pieces were fab!
As was this old mirror.
Didn’t you love Scott’s? I know, it’s a treasure trove. If you haven’t been before, you simply MUST!

I am going in July. I have never been before and it looks awesome!
Cindy @ Custom Comforts says
Your Scott’s is soooooo cool. We have Scott’s here in Columbus, Ohio in the fall and winter months, but it is nothing like yours. Our stuff looks like junk compared to what you have there. We don’t have fabric or a fraction of the furniture you are showing. The November show here is supposed to be in two buildings, so maybe it will be better, but now I’ll forever be disappointed with our Scott’s after seeing yours. I refinish furniture to resell and never find nice pieces at our Scott’s like you are showing. I am so envious, but love all your pictures. Thanks for sharing and making me drool.

I’ve never been, but now I must go! What a way to start my morning, I’ll be daydreaming of this all day! Maybe the next time I head to Lake Martin, I’ll plan a swing through Atlanta! Thanks so much for confirming my suspicions!

Kim says
Rhoda, did you just go? I love that old lantern you showed a pic of. So much cool stuff and I just wish I had oodles of money for those cool things. Not sure if I will go this weekend or not.
Connie says
Thanks for sharing Rhoda. I could spend days in there. I am thinking of trying the chalk paint too!
Hope you are enjoying the “redo” sun porch.
Hugs,
Connie
Gina @The Farmhouse Kitchen says
Oh my goodness! I’m so jealous that you have such a place to browse. It’s like Disneyland! Those glass floats are great! Thanks for all of the pics.
Arlene @At Home with the Grimms says
I had better avoid that place Rhoda!!:) Thanks for sharing all the eye candy!
Ashley @ A {Blonde's} DIY LIfe says
WOW! wish I was closer to that market! You found some amazing things in your photos!!
Patti says
Hi Rhoda, just stopping by to say “hello”. I think I’ll head on over to Scott’s this weekend.
AD says
I’ve heard about Scott’s for years, but I’ve never been. It’s been on my To-Do list for a very long time; this inspires me. Now I must go ~ soon!
L.Duncan says
I came over here to read this post because I knew it was going to be filled with great pics! And you didn’t disappoint! I’ve been to Scott’s once and whew, I couldn’t afford ANYTHING I liked! Maybe I was on the wrong side!
I think I may take a trip this weekend;)
angela says
Love the shutters and the pillows!
laxsupermom says
Wow! What an incredible way to spend a day. So many terrific finds! Thanks for sharing.
Mom on the Run says
I got most everything at Scott when I redecorated my house last year. Even found a fantastic bolt of Colefax & Fowler fabric for $25/yd that I packaged up and sent by UPS to Baker to use on a new chair because we could not find what we wanted in any of their choices. Sometimes the stars just align perfectly! I’m still having “wish I woulda bought it” remorse over an antique wine tasting table that I passed on….someday.
Hopefully when I get another kid out of college, I can start on all the accessories…definitely a treasure trove for that! When you’re looking for the big pieces, it’s hard not to get distracted by all the cool stuff.
Are you going this month? It’s root day on Friday, so doesn’t look like I’ll make it….sniff.
Janell Beals says
This place would be nothing but trouble for me!! I can hardly stand seeing all the goodness…fun! Janell
Catherine says
Wow… Looks like I need to visit Atlanta with a moving van! I’d be curious to know the prices of some of the pieces as I’m very clueless about buying vintage furniture.
Summer says
I love going to Scott Market and try to time going to Atlanta around that weekend. I’ve posted about Scott’s before and always take a camera. So much eye candy. It is worth going just for inspiration. Sometimes prices are outrageously crazy and sometimes they are about full retail. I’ve purchased fabulous items there but never got a true bargain nor a steal or a diamond in the rough. Mostly I pay way tooooo much because I love the item and don’t want to leave without it. All in all, I go everytime I get the opportunity.
Tara Dillard says
Their plant vendors are great too.
And I always have lunch from the Greek food vendor.
Thanks for reminding me it’s this weekend !! Will go.
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
