Vintage Inspiration....

There have been some amazing vintage items online recently and thought I would share some of them with you.  If you live in a smaller city or a remote area, you don't have access to resale shops or thrift stores like we do in the big city but that doesn't mean you can't find some great vintage items with the click of your mouse. Even if you live in a city that has great shops, vintage items are unique and you just might find something online that might surprise you. I love the idea of being able to shop for vintage items online and these places have a consistently good selection of unique finds in all price ranges.  Looking to add some vintage pieces to your rental?  Check out some of the great online retailers and pick up something special.  Happy Shopping!




Love this screen door with the original green paint.  Don't need a screen door?  How about mounting this to a wall (I'm thinking kitchen or entry) and replace the screen part with a chalkboard?  Important phone numbers and a sweet welcome message to your guests turns this great vintage door into a funky and functional piece.  This door is available at Three Potato Four.



Okay, so these are vintage reproductions but how great would these look in an all white kitchen?  Get these at Three Potato Four.
Short on closet space? This not only looks cool, but it also has room for shoes and a suitcase. Did I also mention it looks cool?  Check it out at Cleveland Art.





L O V E  this vintage Italian Dining Table.  The white really brings attention to the detail on the bottom (carved solid wood legs) and the top has been hand waxed and clear coat protected to last for years to come.  I would arrange an eclectic mix of simple chairs with this table but the options are endless.  This table is available from etsy while it lasts.

A great anywhere chair.  Easy to move to where you need extra seating and has a classic modern shape.  Throw a sheepskin rug over it to make it extra plush.  Available through etsy.

Beautiful and very unique vintage Napcoware planter.  This is a piece that's inexpensive, has beautiful colors and great texture ($16 on etsy ).  Sometimes it's easier to start with the small things and build from there. 
One more thing.  I'm in the process of getting a new logo so in the near future things might look a  little different but it's still me (just a little jazzed up).
