Antiques & Vintage Trending in 2023

I hear that antiques and vintage will be trending in 2023! How exciting is that?! We at Tattered Tiques’s love to go antiquing, thrifting, road tripping and more for good old vintage.  We haven’t met a flea market we didn’t like.  When we are out picking, we see such amazing things. Some of those make it home with us. Heck, many a roadside treasure have even made it home with us. Over the years, we’ve managed to bring home a good assortment of cool vintage.  Things like ironstone pitchers, globes, old scales, maps, seed boxes, vintage alarm clocks, yard photos, signs and so much more have made their way home with us. Flea markets are the biggest culprit! Over the years, we’ve managed to fill entire cars, trailers and rental trucks from flea marketing. Memorable road trips to places like Springfield Extravaganza in Ohio will never be forgotten, and neither will all the vintage goodness that we found.  Take a peek at these old photos I found. 

Years ago we showcased some of our favorite pieces and collections from our homes.  

This was my vintage globe collection. 

This was one of my favorites.

This is an old shoe rack mom(Nancy) transformed into a shelf. 

How great is this old seed box she has?  These are not that easy to find these days…if you do find one, they are REALLY expensive.  I think she paid under $40 for this one. 

The shoe rack also holds her antique ironstone pitcher collection.

We all have our own version of this collection. Ironstone pitchers are a weakness of ours. 

This is part of Julie's.

This is a MINOR part of Anne's.

  The truth is…we all LOVE these old pitchers and we all have a pretty good selection of them. 

Have you seen antique yard photos?  They are so cool!

I used to have a large collection on a wall in my living room.

I love the blank and white group photos.  

We used to sell yard photos at the shop, and may still have some in back. 

This was one of Anne's favorite pieces.  It used to be in her chicken coop.  It's an old galvanized nesting box from Iowa.  The old hardware sign above is a great piece too.  She got it for $20 and it's double sided!

What do you collect? Are you a lover of antiques and vintage? 

French Enamel Cabinet

I'm crazy about Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint colors.  They are so vibrant and fun.  The French Enamel was my latest choice for a little cabinet-like buffet piece we had.  The vibrant blue transformed the little thing and gave it a new life.

I've lightly tattered the cabinet, and sanded the top to smooth it out. Besides that, It has a coat of Miss Mustard Seed's wax.

This piece has wonderful alligatoring of the original varnish in parts. Because of this, I may add antiquing wax to it later.

This is the before picture.  It had a very dark finish. 

These pictures were taken on our trip to Paris a few years back. They were taken at the Rue Cler Market. I thought they were just to pretty not to use somewhere. The kitchen seemed like the perfect place.

 

This is the antique cart that I usually have in this spot.  I added this so you can compare the wood to the pop of blue from the French Enamel.  Some people are afraid to use color in their home.  I'm tempted now to add a splash of color to this spot permantly. 

If you are interested in this piece, stop by the shop this weekend and see it in person!
