Booth 50…or SO

So….you are looking at the before shots of Booth 50 in the Downtown Antique Mall in Nashville. I’m dipping my toe into a little retail.
It’s an antique dive…just the way I like ‘em…dusty, dingy and obnoxiously loud when the trains roll by 4 feet from the building. It’s packed with treasures. I’ve only lived here a year and a half, but in my wanderings thus far, this place has the best vintage modern selection in town. Pre to Post Modern ties for grooviness of merchandise, but it’s tiny with a very limited selection. Yes, I’m biased, but that’s why I wanted these guys to let me play with them…I figured I’d fit in best there.
This week I will put some lipstick on her and fill her up. Formerly a 40′s-50′s kitchen booth, that teal and yellow must go. I get great natural light in this little wedge which is pretty rare, given what a dark warehouse it is overall. I’m pretty lucky.
Thing Two will certainly think I’m Booth # SO. Poi-fect.
I’m very excited to get going...so much to do…
Wow! I’m so excited for you! Can’t wait to hear more — please tell every detail.
omg. i’ve been contemplating doing this same thing…scouting out antique places hoping to find a perfect and reasonable spot to start selling my vintage finds in the real world as opposed to internet shipping land.
I want to know all about this – and excited to see someone dive in. I’m wavering back and forth and feel really worried about it and not quite sure how to go about the whole thing.
The few attempts I’ve made to discuss booth rental have not gone well…maybe I just need to find the right place.
I think this would be a perfect gig for you Morgan! I find the shipping aspect of the internet sales too overwhelming and time consuming. This works better for me, especially for large items. I’ll be posting some more about it soon with some more details. I’ve been busting it this week to get up and running…
