The Junk Shop Video Tour Including Prices For The Good Stuff
In this post I share the prices I paid for my junk finds from this week and also the prices of things I didn’t buy. That way you guys have some idea about the going rate for ……junk. I filmed a video of the store inside and out. Just wait until you see all of the stuff. You will be sooooo jealous.
Can anyone tell me what this piece is called? I call it a bench?? The price was $75. Probably worth it but not for me. Mr. Butler has really good prices. Sometimes his sisters have pieces at the shop and their prices are a little higher. Not sure who the bench belonged to.
How cute is the baby doll changing table. It folds up all nice and neat. I think someone painted it pink. Not the original color but I like it. This could be repurposed in a number of ways. I can see it as a plant stand or a craft storage piece or maybe to hold picnic supplies? Any ideas. I bought it for $10.
This piece was $20 but I didn’t buy it. I bought an oak dresser without mirror and a set of stacking tables but somehow missed getting a photo of them.
This is my haul. You can see I didn’t get separate photos of most of the things. Don’t know what happened there. Must of been concentrating on getting video footage. I really got good video of the whole shop this time.
I bought the rusty step stool for $10. You know me and the rust story.
The chair was $10 and I bought it. I love chairs with padded seats because painting the wood and recovering the seat makes a big statement. The easiest project you will ever do that packs the biggest punch.
Now you must see the video. I went all out filming outside and inside the shop. There is a good photo of a table I bought along with the price I paid for it. The video is less than a minute and a half. I don’t like watching long videos so I don’t make long videos. Enjoy…..
Junk Shop Video Tour
Info on my favorite junk shop….
Butler’s Antiques, 17th and Walnut Street, Hopkinsville KY 42240, phone no. (270)885-1521
Butlers is about 40 minutes from my home in the Clarksville area. From downtown Nashville the drive is about 1½ hours Store hours are Monday- Saturday, 9-5 or 6 depending on daylight hours and how busy the shop is. Some months the shop is closed the 4th weekend from Thursday-Sunday. Butler’s Antiques sets up at the Nashville Flea Market on these weekends and no one is at the shop. Lately they haven’t been going to the flea market every month so you need to call the shop and check if you are going to make a visit. At the flea market they are located outside in the walkway in front of the milk barn and down from the café. Just ask any vendor and they can probably tell you how to find them. Hope this info helps. Don’t buy all the good stuff!
Mr. Raymond Butler is the shop owner and his sisters help run the shop on different days.
Hope you guys have a great day!
Cathy says
Oh I am sooooooooooooooooo jealous of you! I would love a shop like this near my home.
Marg says
You were right, Kathy, I am a little jelly! My favorite is your stately arm chair. Oh my, can’t wait to see how you “elegant it up!”
Carry on…stay cool out there, it’s blistering heat!
Vickie says
Oh how I wish we had such a great thrift store in my area!!
judy willoughby says
I am so jealous! the table and and chair are awesome! After my trip and the temps cool down I need to make a trip there. You always find the coolest deals!
Anne F says
I’m drooling!!! Wish we had a junk shop like that near me. I keep looking, but with no success!
mary scott says
Thanks! I really wish I lived close by, but my house is already saturated after 35 years of flea market & estate sale shopping. I love vintage.
Karen Marie Kedzuch says

Someday, I’ll have to get a truck and come on over! Lots of wonderful stuff!
JaneEllen says
I would go crazy in that place and outside, so much to love and bring home. There is nothing like that here.
Most likely better or would have too much “stuff ” (according to Mr. Furry already do have too much.
Love every little thing you had in your truck. That table is wonderful.
Have great days
Rose L. says
What a haul! The dresser drawers need to be switched as on wrong sides. My grandma had one like it. I saw some things I liked in the background! The baby table with swing out pieces could become a craft storage or a jewelry/scarf storage,
Mary Baldwin says
The pink ‘wicker” piece in the top photo is a baby “dressing table”. A MUST HAVE for newborns back in the day (1968 was my first one), white, with a one piece foam and vinyl(?) covering pad, for changing the baby. The baby clothes, diapers etc in the “drawers” and it folder into a singular unit.
kim says
I just love his shop. We’ve been wanting to get back down there this summer but we’ve been too darn busy every time we’re at the lake. Hopefully soon.

We made a special stop at your favorite junk shop and I was a little disappointed. The two sisters were there but Mr. Butler was not. The prices were higher than I like to pay. We go to yard sales, 2nd day of estate sales, flea markets around the Chattanooga area and can find lower prices. It might be that you have established a rapport and are given better deals. We did buy some glassware but it difficult to find even a set of 4. I have 3 antique booths and try very hard to have reasonable prices, that is why we do so well. I repurpose furniture too, so I think we would buy the same type items. Maybe we just went on a bad day. There was lots to see and the sisters were very nice, but too expensive for me.
Kathy Owen says
Wow, I’m sorry to hear the prices were too high. Maybe you hit on a bad day. I think he does give me discounts occasionally but a lot of times I pay the price listed on the piece. I hope you visit them again!
amy rittenhouse says
So awesome! I dream of having my own little shop one day. TFS! Take care!
Missy Wilson says
Hi Kathy….That was really cool to see! It is good to see what prices are in different areas. When I go to Nashville to visit my brother I find some pretty good deals in Goodlettesville. Think the next time I go will try and get up to Hopkinsville.
Amy says
We love that place. Funny I broke my toe junk in there, but had some fantastic finds.
