    Virtual Open House – The Sun Porch

    May 17, 2020 / 2 Comments

    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…

    Mid Century Home Virtual Tour, Guest Bath Reveal

    April 19, 2020 / 6 Comments

      Another week has gone by and we are no longer saying Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, we simply say “day!” Anyone else with me on this?  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

    April 12, 2020 / 6 Comments

    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

    April 5, 2020 / 4 Comments

    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…

    Our Mid Century Dining Room Reveal

    March 29, 2020 / 4 Comments

    When Jeff and I started the renovation on our Mid Century home we told ourselves we would be patient, not rush, and enjoy the process. I am so happy to report that although it took over a year, and we did our best to enjoy the process we are so happy to be moved into our new home. I am really excited to share the finished product with you.  As anyone who has gone through a remodel can appreciate, it is a journey. So here is our Dining Room Before and After. I hope the journey inspires you!  It’s sometimes a process of trial and error when you are updating…

    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…

    In our last post, Our Fixer Upper, I blogged all about the outside of our mid-century home on Brewery Street. Now is the second part, a post about some of the work we are doing on the inside. The most important piece of advice I can share is to consult an expert! Professionals know their business and for the interior house remodel I reached out to friends and valued customers. After closing the sale of our barn, now The Barn by Firehouse Antiques, we contacted our friend Emily. She shared many ideas how we could renovate the space to reflect our style as well as maintain the conveniences we need…

  • Let’s talk about collecting... .. How did I find all these??? .. I’ve always enjoyed the hunt for anything vintage Christmas, I search all year long (especially in a normal year) at Flea Markets, EstateSales, Garage Sales, eBay, Etsy & Antique Shops. I dig through boxes even when what’s on top doesn’t look promising since it’s always possible that deep in the box, might be the one thing that goes perfectly w the others! .. Perseverance, patience & time is what it takes to have a collection. Oh yeah, and a safe place to store them. .. Sometimes it seems
  • Have you ever wondered what to do w those large vintage Christmas books or coloring books w fabulous covers? .. Frame them!!! .. My mother in law gave us three of my all time favorite Christmas Books & for years they sat in a box until last year when I finally took them to a small mom & pop local frame shop! It felt great to frame a gift, be able to share them & help a local business! .. One day, I can pass them on to my daughters! Until then, I enjoy them & hope you do too!
