Michael, if you're not looking to break the bank and get the furniture in a decent amount of time, try the local Crate and Barrel, Restoration Hardware and Z Gallerie -- lots of antique looks without the antique prices -- most stuff if you'll take stock fabrics can be to you in ten days or less.
Frankly I'd stay away from Thomasville, Drexel and Ethan Allen --ever since they put Minimum Retail Pricing into effect a few years ago the prices are ridiculously high for what you get from them any more... quality over the years has dropped considerably at all of them as they became pieces of manufacturing conglomerates instead of singly owned manufacturers.
Lexington still has some good value to it, and lots of neat groups -- you should be able to find it pretty readily in the area. They've got collections designed by Bob Timberlake, Arnold Palmer, Southern Living, Nautica, Tommy Bahama and more --
I know there are Haverty's down there, once again if you want to overpay, head right on over to them.
Kanes is also down there but I haven't seen their prices lately -- also a couple Robbed and Stuck its (Robb & Stuckey pricing...) -- should be Hudsons and maybe Klaussens down there as well --
