1st stop:
Lake & Lodge Outfitters
Cicero, IN
I'll let the picture speak for itself...
(Carrie & the bear)
This store (including the owner) borders on being both creepy and cool at the same time. There is all the things you see in the picture there - old dusty taxidermy, nautical items, safari goods, Asian antiques, fishing stuff.
2nd stop:
Midland Antique Mall
Indianapolis, IN
This place is almost all cool with very little creep. I snapped some pictures of affordable yet stylish items that caught my eye.
Not too clear of a picture, but a set of bamboo style chairs - use as is or paint them the color of your choice and recover the seats -
Shield back chair - paint & recover - presto -
Shallow table - I wish I had a place to use this! I'd paint the black and gold another color while leaving the brass metal in the doors as it -
Bamboo style bar car - should I consider this for one of my porches?
Take a look at the next set of side tables then the picture that follows. Again, wish I had a place for these -
Paint and they'd look a lot like this at a MUCH cheaper price (this little table is $420) -
I didn't note the prices on any of the items above because all the prices seemed very in line with what I would be willing to pay = a fair amount. Midland Antique Mall is a great place for items such as those I've shown that you'd like to change through paint or fabric to make your own.
The exterior - an old sash & door company -

I'm sure I'll be showing you more things from here in the future.

So I was looking at different chairs online. Came across your shield back chair you stopped at Midland Antique Mall. So I thought...HMM she is local. Then I noticed your are in the United Kingdom. So because I am nosy....how did you end up a Midland? It's one of my VERY FAVORITE places to visit! Love the things you picked to photograph while there. Especially the chair and 2 brown end tables!!!
