The Southern Bostonian — Local services in Selma

I’m an avid antique seeking junkie! I travel a lot to find the best local antique stores in certain areas,state to state. I stumbled upon The Southern Bostonian and I honestly have to say I wasn’t very impressed. I was greeted with a warm welcome,that was definitely nice! Superior customer service.

Pictures don't do this place justice, it is GORGEOUS. Plus it smells amazing. The items and drcor are a nice blend of old and new, vintage and modern. It is seriously one of the most well decorated antique shops I've been to (I can only think of one other!). If I didn't live so far away I'd totally take my teen friends here, because they'd love the aesthetic, and my mom would definitely bring her friends because they like antiquing.
