Why I Opened an Antique Booth (And What I Hope It Becomes)
For most of my adult life, I’ve been drawn to objects with character, history, and soul. The worn edges of a vintage mirror, the turned legs of an old table, the mystery of a story embedded in something aged just right… these aren’t just things to me, they are pieces of life waiting for a new chapter.
Opening an antique store has been a dream simmering in the background of my design life. It feels like the natural next step in sharing what I love most: thoughtful, meaningful pieces that make a home feel collected, not rushed. This isn’t about trends or fast decor, it’s about treasures that anchor spaces and invite life in. This booth is the first step of making that dream a reality!
Some Pieces You’ve Seen in My Home
A lot of the items I’ve brought into the booth are pieces that I’ve styled in my own home and items I’ve sourced locally and abroad. My house is a mashup of vintage and antique woven together with intentional design, and I’ve loved watching how these pieces evolve in different rooms over time. That experience taught me what resonates, what lasts, and what brings a kind of everyday joy that new stuff alone can’t deliver.
What You Can Expect From the Booth
I’ll be restocking twice a month, which means every time you come to visit, there’s something new to discover. My goal is to bring you items that I would love to experience in my own home, items that spark immense joy, and items that will bring layers and history to of YOUR homes.
Grand Opening Details

What I Hope You Feel When You Visit
More than anything, I hope this booth feels like an invitation. An invitation to slow down, to choose thoughtfully, to bring pieces into your home that carry meaning. I hope when you walk in, you feel curious, inspired, and delighted by what you find.
If you stop by on opening day, or anytime soon, please say hello. I’d love to hear which piece speaks to you.
