We promised to share our Savannah shopping finds, and here they are. After visiting nearly every decor shop on Broughton Street with our camera in hand, our top pick was The Paris Market & Brocante. While many items felt more inspirational than practical (we don’t exactly have $1,600 for a side table), the creative displays and eclectic mix of merchandise were endlessly inspiring. We left dreaming up DIY versions of several pieces. Here’s what stood out.
The oyster shell chandelier was breathtaking and made me seriously consider ordering shells to assemble my own. With a $1,800 price tag, making a DIY version seemed the only realistic option. Still, the piece was stunning and utterly worth admiring.
The driftwood-framed mirror and the basket-plus-casters-with-glass-top coffee table also sparked major DIY ideas. I mentally added driftwood to my must-find list alongside oyster shells. These pieces felt both rustic and refined, perfect for translating into budget-friendly projects at home.
The twig pendant drum shade was another standout. No need to order twigs—there are plenty in the backyard—and with a couple of metal hoops and some strong adhesive or wire, it’s an achievable DIY. I also couldn’t resist pausing to admire a massive nautilus shell and a giant ostrich egg on display; the whole shop felt like stepping into a coffee table book of natural curiosities.
Somehow I walked out without bags full of purchases, but plenty of photos and a head full of projects kept me content—at least for now. As we continued down Broughton Street we discovered another charming shop: The Savannah Bee Company’s Honey House.
Inside, rows of gourmet honeys awaited in flavors such as orange blossom and tupelo. A small honey bar let visitors sample varieties by the spoonful, and you could even try raw honeycomb with cheese and crackers. Needless to say, we left with sticky fingers and big smiles.
One of the most intriguing stops was V & J Duncan, an old shop packed with antique maps, botanical prints, and vintage illustrations—many likely over a century old. We loved browsing fern and orchid drawings, antique world maps, and stacks of postcards. Sifting through labeled drawers and baskets that referenced places meaningful to us was a highlight. We spent a leisurely hour exploring, and the owner’s friendly Cocker Spaniels added to the charm.
We also found a delightful souvenir shop with a playful collection of cat-themed frames and gag gifts. The attention to detail—like inserting cat photos into cat-shaped frames—was funny and endearing. While these items weren’t serious keepsakes, they were entertaining and made for a few good laughs.
On Whitaker Street we found more furniture and antique shops. One Fish Two Fish was particularly charming, boasting a wall of sunburst mirrors and gilded, hollowed-out tree-trunk planters. The mirror display was a great reminder that collecting various round mirrors and arranging them together creates a dramatic focal point. The gold-finished planters sparked ideas for spray paint or gold-leaf projects using backyard stumps.
An oyster shell votive holder tempted me with its ruffled texture and unique use of natural materials. At $225 it was out of my price range, but it’s high on my DIY to-do list. Natural accents like shells, when used in unexpected ways, add instant character to a room.
There were a few smaller items that nearly came home with me, like a round white ceramic palm leaf platter priced around forty dollars. I woke up the next morning still thinking about it—another good reason to plan a return trip to Savannah.
That wraps up our Savannah window-shopping roundup. We’d love to hear which finds you liked best and any Savannah shopping tips or favorite stores you recommend. We had a fantastic getaway and are already looking forward to the next road trip.
