4. ReMix Market
Head north up Route 1 just a few miles to ReMix Market of Central Virginia. With a showroom of antique and second-hand furniture at competitive prices, ReMix Market’s offerings change weekly. While there, snap a photo with their LoveWorks, which nods playfully to Remix Market’s goal to reduce waste by recycling and reselling home furnishings whenever possible.
