YOU better sit down.

You also better put your phone away and go to your laptop or IPAD.

If VINTAGE is your THING and you like STUFF this is a POST for YOU!

I had the privilege to go inside this house…………before I left OHIO.

It is owned by a LOVELY WOMAN named STACY.

She is the WOMAN in CHARGE at her local Thrift shop.

She has given herself the name QUEEN OF TRASHY TREASURES on Instagram.

I have labeled her as MADAME TRASH…….and I say that with TOTAL LOVE!

CUTE is the WRONG word……………..Note the plates that boarder the property!

Those plates are LIMOGE………….one of a kind scoured over a period of time.

Shall we enter this ABODE?

Are YOU ready?

Sitting DOWN………….I must remind MYSELF to BREATH.

The front porch……..

I got held up there as all the other GALS went directly INSIDE!!!!

I did not snap a photo because I was on OVERLOAD!

AN old book, a bowl with MARY inside?

The light from a church procession…….okay………..whats the WOW FACTOR here.

Believe me it gets BETTER.Stay with ME…………

There he is THE MAN the MYTH the LEGEND………….missing fingers and with a DASH of PATINA!

Chippy…………….all the more BETTER!

This was one of my favorite vignette’s………..ANTLERS and A CROWN.

I guess the PROPRIETRESS does not believe in BAD luck with the open umbrella……I would grab the SCEPTER in case of a TORNADO warning……….I learn you run to the BASEMENT!

MARY with HER things……….a bit of FRENCH FRINGE adds to HER neckline!

This is DIVINE……….to me.

LOOKING through a barn door to the sitting area or family room!Just wait I have a better photo coming UP!

THE ROOM where one eats in formal style.Note the old church window.

Wonderful one of a kind plates and I bet these finger bowls are HAVILAND?

Note the ice tea spoons in the TROPHY!Look at the CHUNKY bases on the candelabra’s.Florentine fixtures………….I spy a couple more crowns.

BARN DOOR……….with serving plate attached…….why didn’t I think of that?!!Old wallpaper…….would imagine it is as old as the house!

What first caught my eye here and believe me my EYE WAS A TRAVELING FAST!(Diana VREELAND would have been proud!)Was the fur stole tucked under the bottle……….it just made me melt.

More Wonderfulness…………I think this was in the living room!That Leopard print is SO in FASHION now!

Funny thing I have the same print in my kitchen!But HERS is in a double FRAME which makes it POP.More Ornate…….SO much better then mine!!!!!!Then there are the antlers above……….note to self……….. I need more HORNS!!!

So, I have an empty violin case just sitting here.NO, wonder I never wanted to SELL IT and passed up an opportunity to do so……..NOW I know what to do with it!

This may be even BETTER…………..I have the same mirror and the same WHISKEY holder with a little dance I could find a piece of luggage just so………HOLLYWOOD TAKE NOTE!I think HOLLYWOOD needs STACY for SET DESIGN………….I would happily be HER ASSISTANT!

MADAME TRASH HERSELF………….we had been at the FLEA all morning and NEVER mind she stayed UP ALL NIGHT cleaning for ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SHE LOOKS PRETTY DARN GOOD!!If you READ my last POST she was the one in a bridal dress at the TEA!

A BEAUTIFUL SMILE…………I think she was getting TREATS for the FURRY BEASTIES………THREE GINGER CATS just like my THEODORE.Behind her is the magical kitchen sink area which I would have a hard time leaving!BRING ON THE DIRTY DISHES!

Note the yellow velvet coach was a MISTAKE she told me her husband had not had the time to move it out as of yet…………we are now looking into the dining room.Look at the ceiling same wood work the old HEN HOUSE shop had………so that says 1800’s to me.

SO, they have taken away the plaster from the wall.What a NEAT AFFECT!Look UP LOOK UP……….I have the same fixture in my guest potty room!

Old Canister……………..anyone know what would have come in this it was glass?Seems perfect for light bulbs!Reminds me of an old mailbox.

FAMILY ROOM off the kitchen………………

THAT other ELIZABETH over yonder in ENGLAND has a place in HER home!This was used on the BRIDLES for the horses………I actually sold a few of these over the years!!WHY did I do that?Adds so much to the crushed velvet!

How gorgeous are these TWO?I think that is a POOF at the landing for the FURRY BEASTIES……..a resting SPOT!LOOK AT THAT WALLPAPER……………..

Now, look at the walls..she striped it off and left it as it was……BRILLIANT!This is the living room which I will get to in a minute!

OMG……….FABULOUS OR WHAT?MUSIC SHEETS FRAMED TO HOLD THE CHANDELIER…………

A BANGED UP PUTTO to keep HER company at the kitchen sink…………D I V I N E!

KITCHEN SINK…………note the velvet curtains…………..My kitchen sink needs a RE-DO!Love the old hardware on the drawers.

POINTE SHOE just hanging around………..

The MASTER Bedroom.

With a MASTER lounging…………….

MORE LIGHT……………….adore the magazine holder…………AN URN.

This is the REAL STACY ……….A VERY HAPPY GAL.

NO WONDER!

She lives in this WARM WONDERFUL much LOVED HOME.

The bathroom………………….NO words needed here!

The bathroom again!

The BOOKS On the Staircase……..which was a FADED VELVET idea………..that DONNA always has inspiration up her sleeve as well.These TWO spend their FRIDAYS together………ROAMING!

PRETTY SPECIAL……..old comfy chair with a Florentine magazine rack and a big  adorable GINGER CAT to hold.

A CLOSET that now functions as a sewing room…….or I should say A LADY’s DOMAIN.

TREASURES…………..LOTS of TREASURES………………it was GORGEOUS!

FOUNDATION for the WALL………..it WORKS!

Bedroom Television…………pretty nifty way to hide that big NEW thing that we all NEED in one room or another..

JEWELS……for a QUEEN.

PEARLS ANYONE?

HAT PINS and THREAD…………..

A BRIDAL VEIL just hanging around………………..looks darn good there!

A Better shot of the TELLIE!

I know someone else who collects these MASTER Pieces!

BACK down we GO ………………

THE LIVING ROOM………orange cord for FAN for the cats!!!IT GETS HOT IN OHIO!

AS you can see I did not know where to LOOK NEXT!

THE SALON…………………..velvet sofa’s and CHAISE LOUNGE.With two women who were waiting for me to stop taking photos!!!

So, that is the story of this little vintage HOUSE in OHIO………………..

I wonder if she has NAMED this HOUSE?If not WE her VIRTUAL visitors need to come up with some ideas………what POPS into your mind after looking at this house?Let’s come up with a NAME……….like they do in ENGLAND.I think that would be a fun HOMEWORK assignment for ALL OF YOU!
