The Rustic Market

I like shopping at big box stores, but there’s nothing like shopping at boutique retail stores. As a previous store owner, I know all about the hard work that goes into making these stores special. And if you want decor that you won’t readily find elsewhere, specialty stores are where you want to shop.

One of my favorite specialty decor and gift stores in the Atlanta area is the The Rustic Market located in Acworth. A few weeks ago I made a trip to visit the store and attend their open house event. The store is really great and today I’m going to give you a little tour.

Debbie, the owner of The Rustic Market opened the store several years ago and has continued to grow and expand the business. The store is made up of three connected storefronts with open access between each space. One section of the store has gifts and personal care items like candles and bath and body products. The middle section of the store is where you’ll find apparel and fashion accessories. The other side of the store is the new furniture gallery where you’ll find larger furniture pieces, wall decor, lighting and textiles.

The Rustic Market specialized in modern, farmhouse decor with beautiful wood and upholstered furniture, textiles and decorative accessories. Their gift assortment includes a wide range of tabletop, entertaining and hostess gifts as well as a fun offering of unique baby items. I bought a set of these monogrammed dinner napkins and will be using them in my fall tablescape.

As you walk around the store, the beautiful displays will grab your attention and give you lots of decorating inspiration. And don’t forget to look high and low because there are unique items everywhere.

I love these oversized corbels used as bookends. This would be a great statement on a mantel or hallway console table.

The black iron candle holder below was such a unique piece. A pair of these would look great on a dining table for fall and holiday entertaining. If you love antique and vintage inspired wall decor, you’ll find lots of it in the store.
