Vintage Inspiration

Even if you aren't into collecting antiques, I bet you can find perfectly useful items for your home! I am going to share a few ideas with you, and you should be able to find merchandise in the store to do all of this with. I wanted to take photos of our actual items being used in these ways, but this post would still have not been completed next year!


1. Plate Rack Towel Holder

Check out the Paris Bath upstairs to purchase your own rack, complete with towels!


2. Multitasking Muffin Tin

a. Use as a centerpiece mixing flowers and candles


b. As a desk organizer


c. As a crafty gal's pal


d. Finally bedazzle your pan with all your glittering jewels!


3. Saucers as Coasters

What I love about this idea is that a saucer actually works better than a flat surfaced coaster. Since a saucer is cupped, you have no water run-off!

4. Vintage Dishes as Catch-Alls

Just like the muffin tin, saucers, cups, and odd-ball dishes make great places to toss small items such as change and jewelry. I keep a small dish on my dresser just for this purpose!


5. Plate Art

Because of the graduated sizes of plates, platters, and saucers they make eye-catching wall art!


6. Platepieces

Plates can be used in a variety of ways to make interesting centerpieces.


Covered cake plates offer a different approach - tuck your favorite items inside!


7. Glasses, jars, bottles, vases, and pottery pieces - re-purposed.

There is no limit on the number of ways you can reuse and re-purpose these items. I'll share a few!

a. Pencil/paint brush holder

Useful Ceramic Displays

b. Non-traditional vase

Even non-cow creamers make delightfully petite arrangements!

c. Candleholders

 


I hope you've been inspired and that you check out our shop for some of these goodies! And brides-to-be, you must admit we could hook you up with the most awesome wedding decor!

Stacs by Paula

I want to share a little homemade goodie that is available at the Bell. Stacs by Paula are constructed right here in Byrdstown, from vintage, antique, and upcycled items (plates, glasses, planters, etc!). Stacs are meant to be used as "yard art" but you may find that you want to keep inside for a conversation piece!

 As I am posting this I realize that I forgot to note the name of each piece! That simply means you will have to come by and check them out for yourself! 




The following Stacs are to be used as serving pieces. As you can see, Paula carefully plans a theme for each Stac!


Swing by the Bell to see more Stacs by Paula, and of course to check out all the treasures!
