Pre to Post Modern is a one-stop shop for pop culture essentials—mid-century furnishings, vintage clothing, vinyl records, art, and a wide array of one-of-a-kind items. If you long for home decor from the 60’s this is the place to find it!

Classic Modern is an outgrowth of American Classical Antiques has been in business in the same location for more than 30 years. Nashville’s exclusive Elite leather dealer, the store also offers a variety of vintage and retro furnishings including 50’s style diner decor. With a selection of furniture, lighting, art, and one-of-a-kind items, this store has merchandise dating from 1820.

Bliss Home, founded in Knoxville, opened its Nashville store in 2014. That location has grown since the store opened, and features casual contemporary and vintage furnishings.

Pierce & Company brings a touch of high style and pop culture to its showroom and to the homes of its clients, as Jonathan Pierce did when serving as lead designer on CMT’s 13 episode Ultimate Country Home series.

The showroom features furnishings, lighting, accessories, wall decor, rugs, and antiques.

Tagging itself as “a general store for the modern-day tastemaker” White’s Mercantile is an expression of Holly Williams, a singer/songwriter who owns the store. The completely curated shop is stocked with Williams’ favorite items found while touring on the road. From wall art, candles, home decor items, books, and more, White’s Mercantile pays homage to Williams’ maternal grandparents and drew inspiration from the mercantile store her grandfather once owned in Louisiana.
