January Show – Happy New Year1
“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.” – Oprah Winfrey
Happy New Year from Athens Schoolhouse! Start your new year off right with updating your home, garden, and office at Athens Schoolhouse, where you’ll find a large selection of vintage & antique furniture, artwork, pottery, dishes, rugs, collectibles, home decor & more. The unique pieces at Athens Schoolhouse Antiques Show become interesting decorating opportunities when you put your imagination to work. Repurpose antiques, collectibles, and architectural salvage for one-of-a-kind decor. For 2025, here are some home decorating goals using antiques and vintage items:
- Curate Statement Pieces: Focus on standout vintage items like an antique sideboard, armoire, or a large mirror with an ornate frame.
- Mix Styles: Blend modern furniture with vintage accents for a timeless, layered look.
- Seasonal Rotations: Create seasonal displays with vintage finds, especially for Fall and Winter (like copper pots, vintage glass ornaments, or wooden bowls).
- Embrace Sustainability: Use antique and vintage materials to reduce waste and support sustainable living.
- Focus on Functionality: Incorporate functional antiques like an old trunk as a coffee table or a vintage ladder as a towel rack.
With a vast selection of antiques, vintage pieces, and collectibles, the show is perfect for seasoned collectors or anyone who appreciates history and craftsmanship. The show is set in a charming and easily accessible location, making it an enjoyable day trip. You can explore, shop, and even connect with like-minded individuals who share your love for antiques. And another bonus … by visiting our show, you support small businesses and local artisans who specialize in antiques and handcrafted items, making your purchases meaningful.
