Virtual Open House – The Sun Porch
Jeff and I have lived and worked in the Firehouse for over 16 years. Our accomplished dream was to have our living space in a historic building above our antique shop, and as our business grew we realized we needed more space to show and store our inventory. When we found out this home was going to be for sale, we were actually looking into building a carriage house behind the Firehouse and even went as far as buying the property behind us to do it. A fun part of this story is the day we closed on the property behind the firehouse, we were notified that the family was…

Keeping a daily routine helps my day flow and no matter what I get done, I try and stay grateful. I am making use of this time to evaluate and improve the way we share our business. This week’s challenge was working on our Firehouse Antiques’ Pinterest Page. It’s still a work in progress, but we hope you will check it out and follow us. Now on to the virtual tour. Our guest bathroom was originally the only bathroom in the house. As you…

Mid Century Home Virtual Tour, Modern Master Bath
As we continue our social distancing, I realized if we weren’t social distancing, we would be planning our open house or we would be having you over one by one as we planned. This inspired me to come up with a virtual tour of our new home via our blog. With that said, here is our master bathroom. When we started renovations, we knew that having two bathrooms upstairs would work best for us. It would be a way for family and friends to visit and allow us all more privacy. I will let the photos do most of the talking with this post. If you have read my previous…

Vintage Modern Living Room Reveal
Did you know it’s easy to mix new & vintage to get the look you want? In this post I’ll show you how we mixed vintage with new pieces to get the look we wanted. I will also share how having help with your design process can save you time, which saves you money. While running a business, I quickly realized that searching for new items for our new home was time consuming and overwhelming. Hours of searching online and going to Ikea was all it took for me to appreciate my friend Laura more than ever. As I mentioned in previous blog posts, Laura Werner is a professional interior…

Living Clutter Free
As our summer travels are winding down, and we continue to work on our Mid Century Fixer Upper, a common theme keeps popping up, how can I make our new home functional for us at this stage in our lives? I started realizing that my ideal living situation would be for everything to have a designated place and to live clutter free. Marie Kondo and other organizational gurus make it look easy, but in our business we are constantly out picking and bringing home fresh finds. After fun days working in the shop or driving around Southern Indiana picking, it is easy to see how our current living space has…

Lavello Sink Reveal for The Cottage
As promised when we shared some of the wonderful renovations for The Cottage, the sink reveal is here! Check out our previous blog post about The Cottage, where we turned this space into a new home for Moon River Spa. The space is working wonderfully for our friend Jenifer Blevins and her business is flourishing. She says her clients love the renovations. We wanted to share the update on the Lavello Sink and how wonderful it looks in the space. We had a great experience with this company and this project was a perfect addition to the farmhouse style in The Cottage. Because the store counter piece was narrow, we…
