Looking for a welcoming place to begin? Start with my Start Here page, where I share favorite vintage decorating ideas, thrifted finds, and styling inspiration from our cozy New England homes in Vermont and Coastal Maine.
How The Vintage Decor Styling Challenge Works
Every season, I’ll bring you four fresh vintage decorating prompts, designed to inspire your home without any pressure. You can follow them weekly, mix them up, or tackle them all in a single afternoon—it’s entirely up to you.
Each prompt is crafted to help you use what you already have: thrifted treasures, antique favorites, or sentimental decor pieces. There’s no shopping list, just a little creativity and a love for vintage charm.
Want some inspiration? I’ve even included one of my most popular styled photos from this season. Feel free to put your own spin on it! Pin it, print it, or screenshot it! It’s here to spark ideas, not perfection.
