Four40Four Vintage

Just added MCM furnishings to the shop after a busy weekend - thank you for shopping!

The additions include:
🌿 A Midcentury white rattan wicker side table by Johnson Randall to booth O-4. It’ll be beautiful in a sunroom.

🌿 A brass floor lamp side table combo by Frederick Cooper to booth I-2. Perfect for a den or home library.

🌿 And, a Bassett ornate carved wood wall mirror to booth P-20. This beauty is big and heavy - perfect for an entryway or living room.

A few weeks back I shared an antique sitting bench. While bringing the bench back to life I discovered layers of material from the past on the seat of the bench.

Most of the layers were in poor condition. This layer was revealed after 3 layers. I just loved the blooms. Instead of tossing this vintage material (from the 30s or 40s) I saw its potential. After a gentle cleaning and finding this gold gilded oval frame I got years ago, I knew they were a match.

Aren’t the blooms just lovely? This sweet piece is ready for a new chapter of beauty and this little project gave me a fresh reminder to look past the layers to discover the potential to bloom.

A peek into the vintage kitchenwares added to the shop. A few of my faves are the antique ironstone slop pail, vintage Ecko tin bakeware, Fire King blue bowl and the Abingdon pottery cheerful yellow mother goose cookie jar.

The shop is filled with new additions of vintage decor, kitchenwares and original art for the weekend. I love the mountain cabin oil on canvas and the schooner in pencil - both located in P-20 and the brass and silver additions to O-4.

The sun came out for today’s sale. A definite theme of European mid century romance vibes with the vintage finds. I just love the brass mirror lipstick tray. I’ve never seen one before and it’s just darling. Other finds are the busts by Universal Potteries, a Robinson Ransbottom drip glaze planter, sweet glass and brass trinket box, brass shell stand with glass bowl. This will look perfect with seashells and coral. And a pair of elegant silver plate candelabras. These will be coming soon to the shop. I’m prepping a big amount of finds to do a refresh in the shop at - so stay tuned.

Antique furniture always has a story and this Victorian bench is no different. Peeling back the layers was a step in time revealing one time period to another. There was even a time when it had bright red velvet. The layers were dry rotting - except for the final one in grey. It may be the original as it was nailed on. That layer remains as part of its years of stories. I added the paisley upholstery material so it now has yet a new layer of stories ready to begin. For the piece I almost left behind, I’m so glad I took the chance.

The shop is blooming with new vintage additions. A few of my faves are the vintage garden book, Fire King blue primary bowl and the sweet hand painted plate by Kemple. The lace edging shows fire when held in the light. I also added the Pyrex pink daisy space saver featured in an earlier post and a cool mcm lamp. I’ll add that to stories.

What a cutie! This pretty pink daisy Pyrex 1-1/4 Quart Space Saver with lid will be available soon in the shop. A few years in the making to bring them together. Which is rather common when it comes to hunting vintage - patience and more patience.
