So, here's what I do. I try to add some interesting elements to my home that appeal to my vintage soul. I just skip the whole tear down the walls, rip up the floor thing that Chip and JoAnna do.
Today, I'm sharing with you the vintage items that I have arranged on the mantel in my family room.
The "star" of my mantel design is the lovely and chippy architectural piece that I recently acquired. I love the size and the perfect scrolling curves. Did you know the word "acquire" can sometimes mean you got something off a trash pile? :)
The "co-star" of my design is the vintage seltzer bottle. You can read about how to use a bottle on a coffee table here. This seltzer bottle came from the Plunderosa in Loxley, Alabama. You can read about this antique trip here.
I layered my seltzer bottle and the architectural element
with a piece of subway art that I often display on
my mantel. I made a few adjustments and
then I was done! I find adding vintage items
to my home allows me to be to be creative and it is
something I can do almost anytime that I have a few minutes.
