14 | Fannie Hillman + Associates he world of vintage and antique shopping has so much to offer, and despite any preconceived notions, it's far more accessible than you might think. Whether you choose to stroll down the brick-paved streets of charming Park Avenue or opt instead to browse the vendors at one of Orlando's popular antique malls, if you've been considering adding a unique period piece to your home décor, this is the perfect shopping destination. Forage for eclectic finds at Something Different. Conveniently located off North Orange Avenue, this bright and cheery shop has a fabulous selection of retro, classic and mid-century furniture. Recreate your favorite 60's pad with a one-of-a-kind Lucite and mirror console table then top it off with a bold, printed lamp shade. With so many eye-catching patterns, striking hues and whimsical, fuzzy fabrics, you will feel as if you stepped into a scene from Andy Warhol's infamous Factory days. Right next-door you will find A&T Antiques, a large antique retailer with offerings from a wide-range of time periods, styles and forms. Family-owned and operated since 1975, the friendly staff offers expert knowledge as well as in-house refinishing, repairs and stripping. The team at A&T knows that "they just don't make them like they used to," and unlike much of the newly- manufactured furniture, quality antiques are expertly crafted from rich materials which increases their value over the years. With a sense of history and a touch of luster, antiques add character to any room. Make sure to swing by the Orange Tree Antiques Mall, well known as one of Florida's best antique malls, offering the varied collections of 140 individual dealers in 15,000 square feet, a spot where you can truly shop-till-you-drop. Owners, Barry and Sherrie Hershone are longtime antique buyers and sellers, and together they've brought a massive variety of treasures, from furniture in Victorian, Art Deco, Mid-Century Modernism to art circa 19th and 20th centuries. As self-labeled "Home of the Funky Junk," Art Angels Market sets itself apart from other vintage shops with a fresh perspective on the industry. Upcycle, recycle and reuse are the heart of the funky junk section of Art Angels, so the owner, Renee, makes routine trips to scour established and new sources throughout the country for the latest treasures to bring back south. Distinguishing it from other retailers, Art Angels likes to make available architectural items such as antique house or business doors, barn doors, old style panel windows, spindles and iron works to inspire your next home project. t a r t a n g E L s V i n t a g E M a r K E t , W i n t E r P a r K sHOPPing antiQuEs
