I'm here with Jessica Yockey, the owner of the Whitehall Exchange, and this place is really amazing.

How would you describe it?

- It's a 8,400 square foot building.

It's a group of 10 vendors from woodworkers to antique dealers to designers.

I've been doing this a long time.

My grandfather, he kind of always picked up stuff along the way, which then taught my father to do that as well.

We started going to yard sales and flea markets from a very young age.

He has a great eye.

I think I probably picked that up from him.

He's pretty much taught me everything I know.

I think this area needed something like this, a little bit less antique store, home decor, design-oriented.

There are pieces in here that we take and make new again.

We add current upholstery, kind of update heirloom pieces.

We exchange ideas.

That's why I kind of wanted to do the exchange situation.

- You have a collection of vendors here.

Tell me about those different styles and how you chose them.

- I chose each vendor because I've known them over the years.

We've all kind of worked together on different projects.

We all have a different style, but it all meshes well, so I do love that.

It's just a big group of people that love what we do.

I'm Danielle Dana.

I have Camellia Cottage, and my style is more traditional.

Traditional china, silver, things that you serve with, things that your grandmother probably had that a lot of people put in their cabinets.

And I want it to be in a condition that you can take it home and use it.

I want the fabric to be in a style and a pattern that would blend with anything that you might have at home.

So this cabinet, it's just a beautiful representation of English antiques.

So another piece is this pair of Staffordshire dogs.

I actually found these, and on the bottom, it showed who had owned them, and then they had willed them throughout their family.

So they are a reproduction, but probably from, you know, dated back like '50s or '60s.

- Our shop is called One Rooster Farm.

We live on Connecticut Avenue in Southern Pines.

The house is 1851, and so Union troops were right down the road, and they came to this farm during a skirmish, and they took all the chickens and left one rooster.

This particular quilt, when you hold it up to the light, you see the cotton batten, but you see all the little brim specks of the cotton seeds that weren't ginned out, which I find an indication of an early quilt.

This cupboard is early 1840.

Pegged doors, has the spoon racks on the front of the shelves where they stored their spoons.

A cabinet that has pegged doors where the tenon is mortised all the way through.

You know, square nails, handmade nails is an indication of an earlier cabinet that might not have those details.

So that in itself, instant indication of age.

It tells a story, you just have to look.

- So I'm Max, and this is Charlie, my daughter.

And we have a, and my wife, Mindy, we have a company called Stubby K Studio, and we do custom woodworking.

We have some leftover pieces, and that's, we make these cutting boards and bourbon smokers with offcuts from that.

And then, of course, we make stuff like this desk, this adjustable height desk.

- This adjustable height desk is made from monkey pod.

It's incredibly beautiful, and it's got a lot of little cool characteristics to it.

This, with the North Carolina inlay, is leopard wood.

Got some wormy maple and then black walnut.

So we have different styles of wood we work with, just 'cause it's fun to have different characters.

- Bourbon smoker, interesting story.

I, you've seen bourbon smokers before, most of them have you put the torch on the top and you blow smoke down into it.

Has a little fixture here that you put wood chips in, and it puts fire to it, and you turn this pump on.

It's a backpacker's pump, and it will draw air through there up into here and smoke your cocktail.

(upbeat music) - We offer something for everyone.

Not everyone is gonna come in and want a leopard game table, but they may want a traditional dining table, so.

- You just gotta come look.

- Yeah.

We have a great community response, and I'm excited about what the future holds.

- Well, I've already seen a lot of exciting things here, so I look forward to looking around a little bit more.
