Steve and I perused the Kane County Flea market on Sunday, looking for vintage home goods to add to our space. It's tempting to take them all home, but the question is how to seamlessly incorporate them into your existing decor. Below are some of my favorite treasures and how I've given them a loving home ...
Vintage books stacked next to antique mercury glass, family photos and an heirloom box have found a home on contemporary shelves. I've kept it neat and simple, too much clutter and you distract from your treasures.
Channeling Mad Men with vintage barware. Mix and match beautiful decanters for a classy touch in the kitchen (and to impress party goers).
An antique ashtray now serves as a soap dish in the guest bathroom.
Creating a comfortable corner with a mid-century chair and vintage brass lamp.
Antique farmer's benches display contemporary art. The footstool also comes in handy when I need to reach high cabinets.
Vintage photos, family shots, and paintings greet guests in the entryway.
An antique porcelain "E" tray holds my everyday jewels, go-to beauty products, and souvenirs {like my pebbles from the French Riviera}
My grandfather's beautiful old office chair offers extra seating in the living room.
Love that chair- looks perfect in your decor!
