Today’s city guide comes to in the perfect time of the season for travel here. We are celebrating Orlando, Florida today and taking you on a tour of fantastic, must-visit design shops. Everyone always associates Orlando with Disney World so I can't wait for others to appreciate my local guide to Orlando minus the tourist stops that drive me crazy. And if your headed to Florida anytime soon take this guide with you and have fun!
I'm so excited to share with you my inside knowledge of Orlando's hidden design treasures as I've lived there for over 7 years now and I am born and raised a true Floridian! I hope you enjoy and discover a whole new side of Orlando and what it has to offer. Enjoy!
Our first destination for the coolest, trendiest design stores in Orlando is Ivanhoe Village/Antique Row:
