A small house tour of an Antique Dealer

As an Antique dealer, my house is always in chaos. Always. It is crazy how we will clean, and everything will be put (or stuffed) in its place, and then a day or two later, it looks like a tornado hit! Furniture (that we are working on) ends up all over our living room. Items to be priced are all over the kitchen table (and coffee table, and kitchen counter and etc etc!). I would love to get a system going here, because once we have kids (staying positive that will work out!), we cannot have all this stuff everywhere. It is a definite hazard for small kids!

I wanted to give you all a small - and I mean SMALL peek at what kind of decor we have around our house. I could never take a panoramic shot of it all, because you would see what a disaster an Antique dealer has at their house! Someday, when I get everything in order, and the decor the way we want it, I will be sure to show you more!

Another issue an Antique Dealer has is that they want to keep EVERYTHING they buy! Going to flea markets is the biggest issue for me. I enjoy showing off the flea market finds that we have had a hard time letting go of!  You can usually find great stuff, for great prices, and then it is hard to put a price on it. Cataloging it through my blog is a good thing though, because I can always go back and look at all the great things we have found, but sold in our booth!

Here is our fall themed mantle. I will probably keep the burlap and the lights up all year around though!

My corner cabinet is still a work in progress... but I don't mind showing things that I am still improving on!

 This is a piece I have hanging in my entryway. If you haven't noticed yet, someone in my house is addicted to stars!


 The next three pictures were a little difficult to take. 4am, standing on a chair in my kitchen, trying to take a steady picture with my phone. Sounds... not very smart huh? So this is what I have going on above my cabinets. I still add to it once in a while when I find a piece that I really like, and that will fit!



As you can see, I have a lot of "works in progress", but I think as time goes on, and I am out junkin', I will find lots of goodies to add to my collection! 

Hope you enjoyed this Wonderful at Home house tour!
