Happy Anniversary!!

Our One Year Anniversary Vintage Weekend Sale was 
a success!

If you wore any Vintage attire you got a discount...
If you wore a pink tutu (our brand) you got
20% off! As you can see some of the ladies
wore their tutus or Vintage bridal veils.
You did not leave VV that day without
getting a discount!!!


Brooke, one our dealers surprised us with
this beautiful and delicious cake.

We loved Sue's roses, they are now part of our display...
love dried flowers!!

Nancy came in wearing her Mothers bridal headpiece!!!


John and I had a great time, we can't believe it's
been a year already.


We have met some great people along the way, some have even
become great friends!


Thank you all who visited and supported VV this year.
 A big
THANK YOU to all of our dealers for making our first year

Dresser is done!



Wooohooo!
 John finished the dresser and it looks amazing!
After much muttering and cussing, hammering...more cussing, and cutting we have determined that the dresser is called SOB! Haha. 
Sorry, I don't have pictures of the insides but if you go here https://plus.google.com/+avintagevenue/posts

You can see more pics.
.

Looks beautiful doesn't it??
After the much needed work we put in we should be pricing the
SOB for $500.00! But as some of you know it doesn't work
out that way!!!!

A new dresser came in last night! 
Beautiful 1930's Art Deco dresser in great condition.
$225.00....321.271.1053

A short post...I am in the early stages of a cold and
my body is aching!

Cleaning the dresser...Part ll

 Cleaning

I personally like to use Denatured alcohol to clean the inside and outside on any piece of furniture that I purchase.
Why?
It's alcohol.... It cleans up any ooogies and grime that has
accumulated on the dresser....do wear gloves, especially if your
nails are manicured!!

Repair

I like to use wood filler where needed.
 Glue any pieces of wood that needs repaired with Tightbond glue, my all time favorite wood glue!


I wait a couple of days for the wood filler to dry
before sanding.

The next step is cutting some wood for the drawer guides
and that is where my handy dandy hubby comes in.

These are the steps and products that I use for MY furniture. I am not claiming to be an expert, everyone has their own style, this one is mine.

If you plan a visit to Florida, check out our Vintage Vine
An online guide to our local vintage and antique stores
in Brevard County.

Just Say No!

Why can't I pass up on a beautiful piece of vintage furniture?
Especially one that need severe TLC???
Friends of mine owned this beauty and when they realized the repairs that needed to be done, they sold it to me!!

Yea, I hear what you're thinking....
 Because I thought the same thing!!
Just Say No to more projects!!!
Say NO especially if they involve hubby doing some of the repairs!!!

BUT how could I pass up on this beauty? 
Shhhh, please don't tell anyone but I am a sucker for Art Deco!
 I fall for those flirty lines and curvy  sides every time...
I was going to take a picture of the whole intact dresser but
As I pulled out the drawers some of the drawer guides were
coming apart and now I can't put the drawers back in.😕

The cleaning process begins today....stay tuned!

Furniture

It was a good week,
 we sold and bought new furniture! 

This pretty coastal table is now for sale and has a cute leaf insert.

Another cute hutch that sold was this beauty!

VV is honored to have Mike the light man in the house, he creates these amazing light fixtures!

Love!! We have a new dealer that loves to re purpose
these amazing pieces of furniture. Oh and he made that awesome metal chair, industrial for sure!

My super husband made some dowels for this late 1800's round farm table. You can visit his blog here

Pickin' on Monday

Today, Monday is my day off! I spent some time running errands but mostly did some pickin' for VV. I found some really cool treasures which you will see in the shop soon!


Look at this beauty that came home with me! 
I love, love, love art deco furniture and if you
have ever visited the warehouse you will see that we have

a wide selection of these beautiful pieces of furniture!


Not to paint!!
There is no way I would paint this vintage piece of art....
I know someone out in vintage land will love this dresser as is!
I wish you could see the Burl wood up close, it speaks classic beauty, true art, true craftsmanship!


We are very excited to start the New Year with a bang, lots of
fun events coming our way.

Life is good,
Sylvia
