This post is for the locals…As the self declared “cultural hub of central Florida”, with seven museums, dozens of galleries, and progressive performing arts community, it’s no wonder that Downtown St. Petersburg has developed a thriving arts business district. Nestled on the eastern waterfront of Tampa Bay, Downtown St. Pete not only promotes small business, but actually gives incentives to small business owners to open shop along its sun filled, palm tree lined streets. DTSP is home to high end home galleries, vintage clothing and furniture stores , and up and coming original designers. Two of my favorite vintage shops are Paper Street Market and Furnish Me Vintage, both featuring one of- a- kind vintage pieces.
Paper Street Market is a new addition to the Downtown scene. They specialize in antique medical, vintage industrial, re-purposed and eclectic furniture, jewelry, and home accessories, Paper Street Market is a truly different kind of vintage! Located at 915 Central Ave., Paper Street Market owners built their shop out of their “love for all things old”. They take pride in educating buyers about the history and meaning of the pieces they purchase. Their eye for “coolness” is showcased in the vintage signage, industrial chic furnishings and funky lighting, and even the 1920’s building they occupy. http://www.paperstreetantiques.com/
On the opposite side of the vintage furniture spectrum, is Furnish Me Vintage, a meticulously curated collection of Mid Century Modern, Danish Modern furniture, art and accessories. From avid collector to retro admirers, their 7,000 sq. ft. showroom at 1246 Central Ave. is a treat to tour!
