Designing and creating on a simple budget.

Mixing Vintage and New Decor

August 8, 2016 Uncategorized

Let me show you an eclectic way to decorate your home by mixing vintage and new decor!

White dining room hutch with antique bowls and tea cups on top.

Hello friends and welcome to those of you who are visiting from Sarah at Little Vintage Nest, I am so happy to have you here! A big thank you to our host, Summer from She Leaves A Little Sparkle for organizing this fun tour.

Decorating Like A Pro

Today each of us on this tour are sharing how we incorporate or decorate with both vintage and new pieces in our home.  This is my favorite way to decorate for several reasons. One, it is wonderful for those who are working with tight budgets, two, it is an eclectic way to mix up the decorations in your home and three, it is easy to get creative (there is no right or wrong)!

Antique bowls and cups mixed with new plates on white hutch in dining room.

As you can see here, we have my hubby’s (grandparent’s) vintage hut along with their china. But then, you can see that our wedding china is also intermixed and this piece is a part of our updated kitchen (mostly new).

The thing about mixing vintage with new is that you can achieve the look either way and sometimes it is hard to tell the difference… Many of the accessories in my living room are antiques or thrifted, while the table and some furnishings are newer.

White thrift store vases on top of books on desk.

Thrift store vases and books are a perfect way to add some vintage to your new decor…

An antique lamp sits atop a family heirloom side table with fresh crisp linens and fluffy pillows.

Our settee was a craigslist find and I am sure it is not vintage, but the chair piece hanging above it was purchased from an antique store. Together they create the perfect pairing of warm wood tones and textures.

 Two large glass jars with wooden beads around them.

These vintage glass bottles are a favorite find and are many years old.

Side wooden table with mirror above it and glass jars on it.

They hold flowers for each season and sit next to our loved on blankets.

Vintage white dresser with candles on it.

This white distressed dresser has been in my family for years and fresh paint can add new life to vintage without taking away its value.

Large bed with white linens and a tray with a vase and pink flowers on it.

Sometimes, you can take vintage and new and repurpose them together. I did that with the chandelier in our bedroom. It was an eighties light that I painted and hung crystals from making it new.

Bedroom dresser with a circle mirror above it and a little girl looking down on the dresser.

It is a treasure to watch my children enjoy the vintage things in our home like this vanity (another family heirloom) that was used in my childhood bedroom. I freshened up the spot with a recent purchased mirror. I love how the two compliment each other without competing.

I hope this inspires you when thinking about how to decorate with vintage and new! Make sure to head over to Kristen at Ella Claire who is so very talented at this very subject!

I love wind chimes, chirping birds and dripping fountains... So you can imagine how fun it has been to be inside with the windows open and hearing all if those noises at once 💕. This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space. Speaking of outdoor spaces, I shared ours all ready for summer up on the blog along with my friends. Come check it out if you need some easy ideas!

I am talking about how we use drawers, but try to keep things pretty/functional at the same time... Come check it out and see how we think outside the box when it comes to this space! One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕

I only wish real size home DIY’s were as simple as popsicle sticks and wood glue 😂! Come see what I mean on stories... But I did grab some fresh flowers for the yard and shared how I simply decorate for this favorite season of mine, summer ☀️ . It’s all up on the blog and I am joining my friends too so come say hello 💕
I listened to your votes in stories and this old t I listened to your votes in stories and this old thrifted mirror got a few coats of “Play it Cool” (the color I had on hand from our kitchen cabinets 😉). And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices
Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
