This past weekend, I wanted to explore as many out-of-town antiques shops as I could find, and with interior designer Matthew Patrick Smyth as my guide, I found many! Our first stop was Mark Thormahlen’s Yellow Church Antiques in Millbrook, New York. Mark bought this old church building in 1999 and turned it into a shop filled with fantastic furniture and objects a year later. Photo: Wendy Goodman
