Anyone who appreciates the traditional old southern style of solid wood furniture would be thrilled to shop for furniture in Athens, GA . This beautiful mid- sized town is located almost as far south as you can go in the state of Georgia. Located south of Atlanta but just north of Florida, it has the distinction of being a true southern town. You can walk the streets sipping your coke cola (that is southern Georgian for any carbonated soft drink, orange, grape, Dr. Pepper) and window shopping at some of the finest furniture showrooms in the state. No matter what your taste is in furnishing items, you can find a store there that carries your favorite style or design, still the old antiques from the south, and the days of plantations and finery are the most sought after pieces. From the grand style of the heavy solid oaks and beautifully crafted cedars, you will find tables and pieces that you know you must have in your own home. Who can resist the beautiful cedar chests that are so popular in the south, for holding those magnificent hand stitched cotton filled quilts they place on the bed. Pair that with a beautiful stand meant for the water bowl and pitcher in the bedroom, and you have the starting of a unique and beautiful room, filled with character and history. It is surprising when you look at how sturdily built the dining room furnishings, and the bedroom furnishings were, in contrast to the delicate sitting chairs they placed in their more formal sitting rooms. Then paired in the same room you will find a rocking chair fashioned from a white oak and honed slick from years of hands rubbing the woodwork as some mother rocked her children to sleep beside the crackling fire in the evening.
