This entryway is made up of yard sale finds from the summer. The bench from an old home being cleared filled with antiques & I was able to buy for $20. It’s a perfect fit & welcome spot!

VINTAGE HOME TOUR

Q: What items do you choose when decorating your home?

My home has evolved over time with items mostly from yard sale purchases, some from thrift shops, or even found items.

Q: What pieces are you most attracted to?

I am drawn towards clean lines for bigger mid-century furniture that is often refinished. Since I love buying vintage items, you’ll see a mix of rustic, industrial & mid-century pieces throughout my home which leads to being creative on how to incorporate it into my home.

A collection of vintage suitcases is a great bargain decor item. Look for that at flea markets, thrift stores, and yard sales. Come see this vintage home tour for lots more home decor inspiration. Interior design

How great is this stack of vintage luggage? For a few dollars each, you’ve got great storage & visual appeal! The bench in front of the fireplace & old ladder are curb freebies. The club chair & mcm table a yard sale find refinished. Vintage tile salvaged from a small town department store before demolition now brightens up the mantle.

DECORATING WITH VINTAGE THRIFT STORE ITEMS

Q: Why do you decorate with vintage/thrifted items?

Not only is the craftsmanship of much better quality, but you’re also giving an old item new life, not taking up any more of the earth’s resources or having more impact on the environment. I love being able to give pieces another chance to be enjoyed & appreciated. There is an individual uniqueness that can’t quite be duplicated in newly made items. Plus you can’t beat the prices!

One of the first pieces I redid was this credenza that was an old stereo. We took out the stereo & A track, sanded & stained it. For a $10 find it has been with us for 15 years. A classic piece & great storage. There’s not much that wasn’t found at a yard sale here & mostly under $5.
 
FAVORITE VINTAGE ITEMS
 
Q: What is the best part of a vintage item?
 
What I love best are the stories that are attached to the items if I’m lucky enough to get them, or being able to look up a bit of history of a find is just as amazing.
 

Maps and vintage globes are fun to decorate a home with. You can often find these at thrift stores, fle markets, or year sales. See what else you can decorate with on this vintage home tour.

Q: We see you enjoy collections.  Can you tell us about your favorites?
 
Collections can quickly grow as you’ll see throughout my home (we totally understand that). Among my collections, my favorites are my cameras & globes. One of my brownie cameras I acquired from a man who said it was his Uncle’s who had served in WWII and had pictures of the Italian army surrendering but his film was confiscated.
 
 
.Here is a collection of vintage cameras. Decorating doesn't have to cost a lot. Come see some tips on how to use collections and vintage items in your home.
