Vintage Summer Decor Featuring Cherished Collections

Happy Monday, Friends! I am delighted to be joining the Bloggers' Best Summer Home Tours graciously hosted by Kelly from The Tattered Pew. If you're starting to anticipate a seasonal refresh, join us today and each day through the week for gorgeous decor inspiration from 28 bloggers

If you've hopped over after visiting Kate's beautiful tour at Southern Home and Hospitality, welcome--I'm so glad you're here! During my spring tour, y'all really seemed to enjoy seeing views of my kitchen that I haven't shared as often. Since I also received lots of positive feedback when I shared how I style my over-the-cabinet vintage collectibles,  I decided to feature some of my other cherished collections plus a few spaces you may not have seen before.

But first, we'll pass through the dining room. It's no secret that I adore floral-inspired decor and this rose adorned pillow complements my collected vintage transferware gallery wall. 

Of course, there's nothing like fresh flowers to welcome summer. Earlier this month, I shared how to create 3 floral arrangements from a single bouquet...

...and also an early summer mantel featuring my heirloom garden roses displayed in another cherished vintage collection--milk glass.

Now we'll head into the hallway. Although its narrow layout isn't ideal for photography, I use the space to showcase curated family photographs like this nostalgic keepsake memory box. (The turquoise-framed photographs are me as a child.) 

The custom built-in cabinet used to house homeschooling supplies. Now it and the handmade jelly cupboard are used for seasonal storage. The vintage typewriter was passed down from my mother. 

This sweet floral-topped birdhouse was a recent Goodwill score. It's nice to occasionally find decor that doesn't need an upcycle but I did add the whimsical Home Tweet Home sign. 

On the right side of the hallway is a gallery wall of thrifted and gifted art, including a beautiful postcard that Dear Firstborn purchased from the Georgia O'Keeffe museum in Santa Fe and sent to me for Mother's Day. Stay tuned for my tips for crafting gifted greeting card art next month! 

At the end of the hallway more collectibles are displayed...

...atop a stack of vintage luggage, including the gold mesh bags, an engraved lipstick tube, and my mother's lace wedding gloves. 

With the exception of the gloves, they were all thrifted finds, including the mirror. Isn't this beaded bag lovely? 

To the left is the doorway to the guest bedroom --it was originally Youngest Daughter's room. In fact, she chose the Morning Glory hued paint for the accent wall. 

I found 95% of the decor in this room from estate sales, thrift stores, and yard sales, including the brass bed frame. 

Have you tried stenciling with a pencil on wood? You can see my tutorial, here! 

The wicker chest and Windsor chair were both $5 yard sale finds--all they needed was a fresh coat of paint (and new knobs for the chest.)

The beautiful bluebonnet landscape was a gift from a friend. 

The caged bird silhouette looks surprisingly realistic hanging in the corner. 

If you've seen some of my outdoor tablescapes, you probably know that I'm slightly obsessed with vintage quilts. 

 I dug through a box of fabric at a yard sale and discovered this beautiful cross-stitch and then I gave a grungy thrift store frame a makeover to create one of my all-time favorite makeovers. You can see how I did it, here!

Don't you love it when thrifted scores purchased at different times and places complement each other beautifully? 

I used thrifted plates to create the mosaic door on this yard sale nightstand. True confession: It was a labor of love, but did I love the process? NOPE! 

Here's a closer look at the finished result...

...and a close-up of my fresh garden blooms. 

Thanks for dropping by! If you haven't already, be sure to visit Kelly at The Tattered Pew!
