5. Out of America's fascination with all things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub.

This is a specific idiom that (as far as I can think right now... possible revision later :)) shows up almost exclusively in the phrase "all things [adjective]." It's just an idiomatic way of really stressing the universality and the idea that something need only have that one attribute (whatever the adjective is) to be in this category.

Examples:

She has a fetish for all things green. (The other qualities can be absolutely whatever...if something's green, this girl will automatically love it.)

He has a hatred for all things academic. (The simple fact that something is academic automatically makes this guy hate it, no matter what else.)


Occasionally you'll even see a noun after the "all things," in which case the phrase means "all things (related to) [noun]," e.g. "He is obsessed with all things Star Wars."
