Links and Resources
Below you’ll find a list of helpful links. We have visited a number of places around Atlanta (and the burbs) looking for everything from antique hardware to hard to find camellias.

Eclectic Stoneworks by Ray Hall
A local Atlanta stonemason that has been in the business for a very long time. He does fantastic work! He built our backyard patio and granite retaining wall.
Gardenhood
An independent garden center located in Grant Park. We don’t shop here regularly, but we have bought a number of plants and pots from them over the years. They have a unique selection, and if you want to save a little money they often post about sales/discounts on their Facebook page.
353 Boulevard SE
Atlanta, GA 30312
Grower’s Outlet
This is always our first stop for plants. Highly recommended! You have to drive way out to Loganville, but the prices are worth the trip. They update their website daily to reflect what’s in stock, and if you follow them on Facebook they always have deals/sales going on.
159 Cown Drive
Loganville, GA. 30052
House of Antique Hardware
Antique hardware reproductions – window and door hardware, etc. We’ve bought a bunch of hinges and cabinet hardware from them. Online only.
Lifecycle Building Center
A building materials reuse center in SW Atlanta. Volunteers assist in collecting building materials that would otherwise be headed to a landfill. We bought a few antique doors from them that match the original doors in our house. One day we hope to use them in an attic extension. They also give a 10% discount to people in the 30310 zip code.
1116 Murphy Avenue SW
Atlanta, GA 30310
Massee Lane Gardens
Massee Lane Gardens are the 100+ acre gardens of the American Camellia Society. They are located just south of Macon, so it is a day trip from Atlanta. Go in the early spring to see their huge collection of camellias in bloom and take home a plant of your own. (We did!)
100 Massee Lane
Fort Valley, GA 31030
Mission Motif
Craftsman home furnishing store located in the Kirkwood neighborhood.
1963 Hosea L. Williams Dr.
Atlanta, GA 30317
Randall Brothers
Randall Brothers is an Atlanta institution. Founded in 1885, they still offer moulding and millwork that you can’t find anywhere else. I always feel like I’m stepping back in time when we go there. You can’t shop here on a budget, but if you have an old house and want original moulding just suck it up and go to Randall Brothers. Don’t waste your time at the big box stores.
665 Marietta Street NW
Atlanta, GA 30313
Rejuvenation
Period-Authentic lighting and hardware. Our dining room light and some curtain rods came from Rejuvenation. Online only.

Huge antique market that happens once a month near the airport. We found our front door hardware here. Coupons and more found on their website.

Wilkerson Mill Gardens – Hydrangeas, hydrangeas, and more hydrangeas! Take a road trip to Wilkerson Mills Gardens and have lunch at Serenbe. Just make sure to check their opening hours on their website. They are only open to the public on certain weekends. The owners are really friendly!
