Birdy: Skinny Love
A vintage inspired music video for a beautiful song. I love the distressed window pane, dusty piano, vintage boots, her dress, the architecture - everything down to the peeling wallpaper & dead spider still hung on its web. It's all about the details!

piece of the action: fashion bridal shoot
This was a very soft & feminine theme in a rose garden and I can't wait to share the photographer's (MYNX Photography) pictures. I took this with my standard digital camera just for you guys.
Our inventory used in the photo shoot:
First photo: suitcases, white bench, typewriter, white birdcage, and a metal tin can labeled "Southern Belle" & "Sugar"
Second photo: clover table, (2) farm chairs, baby ben clocks & big ben clock, bundles of coverless books, silver tea set placed on a vanity mirror tray, and doilies.
peek of the day: full luggage inventory
A few more luggage pieces have been added since the first time we started blogging our peeks. Enjoy!
peek of the day: unique enamel sink stand
I was inspired by the wall-hung enamel sink filled with moss/grass at a flea market so when I stumbled on this unique sink stand (3'-6" high) made of steel scraps, I got a bit weak. Place one or two wood crates or suitcases on top of the cross bracing. Fill the sink with a layer of moss or grass and stick your favors or name/table labels in it. Fill it with ice and beverages. Fill it with flowers and vines spilling out at sides.
peek of the day: rustic chair planter
I have two of these "project" chairs in which I was going to reupholster the seats but decided to use them as matching chair planters as inspired by the picture shown. Can't wait to transform them!
peek of the day: 3-tier metal plant stand
A rusty 3- tier metal wheelbarrow plant stand with scalloped trays. Great for holding flowers, favors, desserts, candles, and just about anything!
peek of the day: chalkboard stand
About 5' tall with a bottom shelf to display just about anything. The simple form allows for various ways to dress it up.
peek of the day: tabletop items

- (7) White linen napkins with scalloped edges and an embroidered flower (I made a bunting out of them as shown)

peek of the day: glass milk bottles
We have 74 of these cute & adorable half pint glass milk bottles from the 1940's-50's that were originally used in school lunches! Neatly organized in galvanized aluminum trays of 36 and comes in square or round shape! Perfect for any occasion.
peek of the day: beverage cart
A weathered wood slat beverage cart with a hidden sink that can be filled with ice and your favorite drinks or dessert snacks. It also has a 4-bottle rack on the bottom and wine glass holders underneath the counter near the push handle. Conveniently on wheels to serve everyone at your event!
peek of the day: birdcages
Birdcages are versatile and they always provide an enchanting look no matter how you dress them up or not!
peek of the day: bench
I love the worn wood and detail on this pretty little bench! The mauve & white floral fabric gives it a subtle vintage chic feel.
peek of the day: dining chair
We have two of these medieval dining chairs with beautiful wood details and cranberry-red velvet upholster seats.

peek of the day: steamer trunk
This old wardrobe steamer trunk from the early 1900's is in excellent condition. All the components are still intact and functional. The interior walls and drawers are lined with a gorgeous fabric throughout. It makes me wonder who the owner(s) were and their travels. This beauty has already traveled over 1,000 miles with me.

peek of the day: wingback chair
To make up for the lack of updates or peek of the day posts this past week, I'm sharing a few today. I'm a one woman band and I guess you can say I'm a multidisciplinary girl. I've been busy picking for requested inventory items, prepping for photoshoots & events, styling, running all over Georgia to pick up items (which I very much enjoy the quiet stroll of the back country roads), photographing items, photoshopping, designing FIF's website, designing my last set of wedding invitations/save the date cards, and creating new illustrations for future use in weddings...whew! To top it off, I also work for one of the best architectural firms! Ok, getting back to this unique chair - I love finding items in its "as is" condition of natural wear and tear. It's a huge bonus when the fabric pattern and form are beautiful & authentic. This wingback chair definitely represents it!
peek of the day: bench
We have two of these benches in lengths of 4'-0" and 4'-6". They were originally used as radiator covers with a pretty metal mesh in the front. We recently used one of them in a fashion bridal photo shoot and can't wait to share it with you!
peek of the day: victorian medallion back tufted sofa
Meet the Dodgen Victorian Medallion Back Sofa! The original floral upholstery's warm color palette of champagne, mauve, pale olive, and specks of very light blue makes it so delicate and elegant. A perfect contrast to a bride in her wedding gown.
Happy Mother's Day!
To all the mothers out there - I made this especially for you! I admire your unconditional love, hard work, and perseverance...which may go unnoticed at times. You are an inspiration to me and your children. Happy Mother's Day! ♥

peek of the day: coffee table
This well constructed old coffee table can expand to 7' long. Perfect for a lounge table to display your items and still have enough room for your guests to place their champagne glasses & dessert plates on!
