Established in 2014 and named after Lindsay’s grandmothers, Bennett and Sudderth is a project of passion dedicated to interior design, treasure hunting, and helping people. Specializing in estate liquidation, downsizing, online sales, and creative solutions for selling unwanted items in the Atlanta area and surrounding communities, we offer a turnkey service to make this process as seamless as possible.

Lindsay Short

Hi, my name is Lindsay Short, founder of Bennett and Sudderth. Some people call me boss, I prefer team leader. I stumbled into this profession after a 10+ year college career and accidentally found my calling in life. I pinch myself regularly to make sure I’m not dreaming.

I am active in all aspects of the business, including everything from scheduling and attending consultations, to managing my staff on-site and sitting behind the register during sales. I get a thrill out of finding what I’m looking for on a google image search and think in another life I must have been a detective.

I graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in Furnishings and Interiors. We have serviced over 300 clients and have a strong portfolio that helped create our three-part process and network through “word of mouth” marketing. I have refined my craft as a curator of clients, customers, and curiosities and I am proud of the relationships I have created over the years.

My mother has been with the company since day one and still works several days a week. She lives in a beautiful home built in 1902 that is filled with treasures from her lifetime of collecting. She raised me in antique stores and auction houses and taught me to appreciate the beauty and value in old “things,” which is really what propels this business. Through exposure, research and touch, I can usually tell a story of when and where something was made, attach a value to it, and predict how it will do in today’s market.

I have an additional support system of staff members, affiliate companies, mentors, and referral sources that I have hand picked because of their experience, charisma, and work ethic. I foster a healthy and positive work environment where all people are welcome.

Outside of work, you can usually find me with my husband and dogs exploring - whether that is in our backyard, at a new restaurant, or traveling across the country or abroad. I still like to shop at thrift and antique stores and get excited when I find something special to add to one of my collections. I frequent Your Dekalb Farmers Market and love time with my girlfriends. The kitchen is my happy place.

I invite you to dig around on our website to learn more about who we are and what we do. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with questions and I hope to hear from you soon.

Kay Daniel

My name is Kay Sudderth Daniel, Lindsay’s mom, friend, confidant and sounding board. We have been working together for the past 15 years and we have a flow, an ease, an understanding and respect for each other, and we work well together. I have been with Bennett and Sudderth since our first sale in 2014 and provide support to Lindsay and her team through every part of the process.

My experience comes from collecting over the past 35 years, owning and operating two antique stores and surrounding myself with others who love this business as much as I do. I had some great mentors who were “pickers” long before anyone knew what a picker actually was.

I am a wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother to a beautiful family. I am surrounded by a wonderful group of friends who call me a people collector rather than an antique collector.

I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, cooking, wine, gardening, traveling and truly all aspects of life. I love going to work everyday and spending time with such a great group of people.
