The Art Full Frames is Opening in the Barn

A move from the Old Clarkesville Mill back into the original Art-Full Barn building is underway.
For folks who haven't heard yet, The Art-Full Barn's art supplies and Art-Full Frames are both moving back into the old barn building where it started in 1998. The barn was built in the 1920's and is an awesome building. Greg and Gail Kimsey bought the building in the fall and have been cleaning and fixing it up since. The framing design center and the art supplies are downstairs; the frame shop work and assembly area is upstairs.

Old Clarkesville Mill Art & Antique Mall is still the Kimsey's store, too, and moving all this merchandise out means they will have more room to rent for art and antique booths. New owners have taken over the flea market area and it is becoming The Old Mill Bargain Mart. Right now, it is still open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but will eventually be open seven days a week. It is changing from traditional flea market booths to storefronts and there are some exciting businesses rumored to be coming in. Real Deals, the sporting goods store, Old Clarkesville Mill Fun Bowl and Soque Smokehouse BBQ are still all running strong, so when you have a chance, get by and see all the changes.
