It’s true what they say–one man’s trash, literally IS another man’s treasure! Here are some of my most favorite ever trash finds! Sorry for the crummy cell phone picture . . . But can you tell what that is? The abandoned house in my...
Today I want to share with you three different ways you can decorate a mantel for spring, using vintage items that can easily be found at thrift stores or flea markets. I love decorating with vintage treasures! For one, they are often less expensive than buying...
Fall is in the air my friends, which means it’s time to break out those fall decorations and spruce things up a bit! To be 100% honest with you, I am not a fan of redecorating my entire house for the fall season. I usually just focus on creating a few vignettes...
Is it just me, or does spring feel really late in coming this year? I can remember this time last year, sipping coffee on my back porch in the morning and almost feeling hot; this year we haven’t even unpacked the porch furniture from storage yet! ...
Merry Christmas Friends! I don’t know about you all, but I am really looking forward to having a little special Holiday Cheer in our lives over this next month. After what feels like the longest and strangest year ever, our family needs a little pick-me-up, and some...
Hey Friends! We’re coming up on the 1-year mark of our move from Texas to Arkansas. In some ways, it’s hard to believe it has been that long already; in other ways though it feels like this has always been our house. Time is funny like that, isn’t...

For the longest time we lived with yellow-cream walls in our living room. Not by choice–they were that color when we moved in, and we just had to make do for awhile. After 6 years though, I was finally able to hire someone to come in and paint the giant 2-story...
Have you felt any cool breezes in the air yet? I haven’t ? Fall here in Texas usually doesn’t show up until November! But in the retail world, you bring fall into your shop whether it’s cooled off or not. So last week, I spent a few hours totally...
Last month we packed up the van and headed out on the 8-hour (if we’re lucky!) drive to visit my family back in Memphis, TN. The boys were super excited to see their grandparents, aunts and uncles, and most of all their cousins. I was excited to see my family...
Well, summer is here! It’s the season of backyard barbecues, days at the lake, and lazy days on the back porch spent with friends and family. In that summer spirit, I’m sharing today a quick and easy craft project you can use to welcome guests to your home or...
I have to confess, I have only recently really started digging around on Instagram. When I need inspiration I usually head to Pinterest, but lately, I’ve been taking more time to scroll through Instagram to look for decorating or display inspiration there . . . And...

What colors do you think of when I say “Fall”? I bet you’re imagining orange, red, yellow, maybe even some brown or olive green, am I right? There are certain colors that come to mind for each season of the year. So when the temperatures drop and the leaves start...
Seasons move quickly in the retail world! I’ve learned that lesson over the past few years, and now make an effort to get my fall and Christmas decor in early. Here is the fall display I just set up at my Antique Company Mall retail space. I...
Hey friends! It’s been awhile since I have posted about any of my finds. To be honest, I’m not out on the hunt quite as often as I used to be simply because I struggle to find the time! But I did make it to a few markets over the past month and did some...
Hey Friends! Let’s talk color today . . . specifically about the trending soft, mint color that has become quite popular in the past few years. Adding this color brings a lightness and freshness into any space. In the photo above, the room is...
Christmas-time is typically not a big selling season for Lost & Found, especially where my antique booth is concerned. For whatever reason, I have never really been able to harness the power of the holiday shopper. I’ve come to accept that this is usually a...
