When it comes to antique shopping, I have a list of stores I can always rely on to find what I'm looking for. However, although my local haunts are great for sourcing most past-loved treasures, I'd not yet considered that by sticking to one region, I'd be missing out on the many gems that grace the shelves of antique stores across the country.
Don't get me wrong, you don't have to travel miles to find one-of-a-kind pieces. In fact, many of us decorate with antiques that we've found locally. However, if you're on the hunt for certain styles, eras, or makers, it's worth knowing that some regions are better than others. That is, some regions will offer different types or styles of antiques.
