"An Emporium of Unique Furniture, Antiques and Other Lost Treasures"

MY STORY
"It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else" - Erma Bombeck

The GOLDEN APPLE is a unique store featuring the creative talents of owner, Carol Apple.  I have always been a crafter with widely varied interests and started restoring furniture over 20 years ago.  I've come a long way since then, with a lot of trial and error, but along the way I discovered a great passion for old furniture.
The wood, the way it's made, the quality, the durability and the stories it could tell.
The store sort of came about by accident. For many years, my dream was a Bed & Breakfast, so I started collecting and refinishing and storing. When I relocated to NC from Florida, real estate had soared, so I stored some more and waited and looked. Finally I found a small space to rent in an old building with tin ceilings on a main street. And so my dream began, The GOLDEN APPLE.
