City Tour: Paper Street Market

The Grand Central District in St. Petersburg on Central Avenue is home to a ton of art galleries, antique shops, clothing boutiques and eclectic restaurants and bars. It's a street that you want to drive down slowly and make mental notes of where you want to stop by next time you're in the area. Or if you're like me, you pick a place and quickly turn in to park. That's exactly what I did when I saw Paper Street Market.


Its vintage furniture and home accents displayed in the windows and the welcoming opened doors were just calling me in. I just knew my visit would be worth it. When I walked in, I was not disappointed. 


This store offers a mix of industrial pieces, timeless vintage furniture, jewelry, local art and knick-knacks for the nooks and crannies of your home. So many unique and (affordable) one of a kind pieces curated and displayed all over the store. It's fun to hunt around to see what you can find here. 


Need a monogram for your wall? How about a word? There's an entire wall devoted to a bunch of letters in different shapes, sizes and colors to choose from. Definitely one of my favorite parts of the store. One day, I'll have to go back and get some letters to spell "EAT" to put in my kitchen. :) 


I am so glad I was able to spot this shop. It's quickly become one of my favorite stores in St. Pete. I won't be a stranger to the Paper Street Market, I just hope my wallet won't hate me!

  4. I've been there before but it's been so long! They didn't have those lovely letters last time I was there, nor did they have that X-ray light. If they had that light, I would have totally bought it. I love things like that!
