Victorian on Van Buren Carriage House: Details

July 8, 2022 by thevettelfarm

I have said it before and I will say it again, it's all in the DETAILS! Special details are what make renovations worth the extra time and effort. Incorporating special details into any historical project is extra important. Small elements like hardware, trim, and accent walls are all important decisions in the design process. Here are a few elements that we incorporated into the Victorian on Van Buren in the carriage house apartment to give it that extra charm. Entryway For this apartment we had to incorporate an entryway because it attached to a garage. To do this we knew we wanted to incorporate an antique door. We found an antique door with a window, which was perfect because it ...

“New” Vintage Hardware for the Victorian on Van Buren

April 15, 2021 by thevettelfarm

Deadwood, South Dakota is known for it's vast history in mineral mining, so choosing the right hardware for the Victorian on Van Buren was critical! The best thing we did for the restoration of our 1885 Victorian home was to get all new coordinating light switch plates and electrical outlet plates. The small touches in this renovation have made the biggest impact. The first compliment we always receive is about the hardware in this fixer upper! All of the light switch plates and electrical outlet covers are from Nostalgic Warehouse. We chose their Victorian switch plate, which was the perfect choice! It has so much charm and character and is characteristic of the Victorian homes of ...

I’ve recently noticed ads for 4-H in magazines and I’ve recently noticed ads for 4-H in magazines and I will tell you I am HERE FOR IT! 🍀 4-H was such an impactful program for me growing up and this collection brings me so much joy because it reminds me of all the wonderful memories I have in 4-H. I added a few key pieces this year that have been so fun, the 4-H dress, this new pennant and the sheep “GLAZE” crate. 🍀🍀

Were you in 4-H? 🍀🍀

This little Easter basket decor piece started as a This little Easter basket decor piece started as a well-loved vintage enamelware bowl, the kind that’s seen decades of kitchens, garden harvests, and family gatherings. Instead of letting it sit tucked away on a shelf, I wanted to turn it into something that feels like spring… soft, nostalgic, and full of charm. 🐇

I layered in faux grass, tucked in a few speckled eggs, added the sweetest vintage bunnies, faux florals, and let the character of that chippy enamel do all the talking. There’s something about the worn edges and tiny imperfections that makes it feel so much more meaningful than anything brand new. It tells a story and now it gets to be part of our Easter story, too. 🐇

I love creating pieces like this because they’re not just decor… they’re conversation starters. They feel gathered, not bought. Thoughtful, not rushed. And the best part? You don’t need anything fancy. Just an old bowl, a little imagination, and a love for keeping beautiful things in use.

Proof that even the simplest vintage piece can become the heart of your spring table! 🌷

Would you style this on a kitchen counter, dining table, or entryway?

I challenge you to use a little vintage this year for your Easter table! 🐇

This vintage cooler was too charming to leave behind, so I brought it home and gave it a new purpose, now it holds faux blooms. A little rust, a lot of history, and a few more chapters to live. 

Right? 🫣🫣🫣
