I am coming up on the one year anniversary of Capitol Vintage Charm and sweet sassy moo-lasy, I sho have learned some stuff. 

I am hoping to freshen up the look of the Etsy store and start including some furniture.  I am also going to start focusing more on decor items and less on tableware. (But for my tableware lovers, I will still include some items, just not as much as I maybe have in the past).

But, mainly, I am looking to change the purpose of this blog some.  Obviously, vintage is where my heart is.  It will always be what I love. Antiques and vintage items are just so soulful. I feel like they share stories without us even knowing it, you know?

How to Add Space to Your Kitchen Using Ikea Bookshelves

Having a tableware fetish and living in a tiny rental has not mixed well for my marriage. I really meant what I said in my "About Me" on how I sneak in plates and teacups in my purse.  Or tell Bruce they are "for the shop" and then they end up "in my kitchen."

How do you like your bookshelves?

My husband loves books...like LOVES books.  And I am about to sound like I don't...but I do.  One day I would love nothing more than to have a room full of built-in bookshelves and have them covered from floor to ceiling with stacks of books.  A home library is the height of charming to me.

But, you know, we live in a rental that may fall apart if the wind blows too hard.  We can't even buy our son one of those Anywhere Chairs that the cool kids have because we have NOWHERE to put this ANYWHERE.  (See what I did there? Yeah, I'm proud of it and will stand by the corny joke.)

Adding Vintage Touches to a Nursery

My son, Grayson, has the best room in the whole house. It is bright and has the perfect mix of all the vintage touches I love to incorporate into my designs. It is full of texture and layers. It is important to me he grows up around lots of bold color. I think it immediately can lift a bad mood.  I kind of laugh at the idea he may look back at this room and think "Oh, that was so mom."

Vintage Washington DC: Capitol Hill Home Tour

Y'all, I have a vintage feast for your eyes! This amooooozing Capitol Hill rental vintage utopia belongs to one of my best friends, Blair. And my girl does not mess around when it comes to showing her love of all things art deco, seascapes and baskets.  She is my most favorite partner in crime for all of my thriting and flea market missions and you are about to see why.
