ABOUT US:
Kate Parsons and Christy Shafer,
a mother-daughter duo, started Locust Grove Antiques &
Interiors in 1997 after Kate and her husband bought the
circa1845 two story brick home next door.
Kate needed to find a use for the dog obedience school on the
property. The building was a “dog” and took many months of
work to convert into its present incarnation.
The large space was divided into inviting room vignettes to
showcase the magnificent and ever changing collection of
European & Asian furniture and art.
Smalls from auctions, estate sales, flea markets, trips to Europe
and the large world markets in Dallas and Atlanta filled in the
vignettes.
It was (and is still) Kate and Christy's mission to show people
how to successfully mix antiques and new home furnishing to
create unique living spaces for themselves.
