Antique shopping is not just a spectator sport, but rather you can find items to ignite your creativity. Can’t find the perfect end table? You can find pieces to enhance and modify what you currently own or combine two vintage items from the Southport Antique Mall to create a unique piece that reflects you and your style. You can both find items you can reinvent or find repurposed items already made that will still add distinction to your home without all the work. An excellent example of this can be found in booth 116, where Southport Antique Mall’s own Janice Siler took an old piano bench, removed the hinged top, repainted, and topped it with a piece of oval glass to create her own shadow box end table! What used to be the storage area of the piano bench is now visible under the glass and would be a great place to display collectibles or anything that fits with your home décor. It is a perfect example of what a little ingenuity, tools, and antiques can accomplish!
