If it’s Southern, we want to know about it. In Southern Made, we look for products — from art and apparel to food and furniture — from across the South. This week, we feature some reader favorites: men’s polo shirts from Alabama, pretty place mats from Nashville and bed frames made in Americus.
Preppy polo
Pretty papers
Hit the bed in style
For old world European elegance but modern functionality, check hand-crafted furniture made by Old Biscayne Designs in Americus. Founded by Nick and Gretchen Gabrielli, the company has manufactured iron beds and custom wood furniture since 1990. Consider the classic French-inspired Margeaux bed. Made of driftwood and driftwood cane, the bed is painted in a distressed metallic gray. However, other custom finishes are available. A queen-size Margeaux headboard and footboard are $4,625 (a king is $5,375) at Suite Spot, 1465 Chattahoochee Ave. N.W., Suite 450, Atlanta. 404-891-1000, suitespot.net. The newly opened home boutique also has other bed frames by Old Biscayne Designs on the floor.
