This has been fun.
This, I mean. My little vault space in Troy Antiques is officially open. It’s got a long way to go, but it’s coming together. Some of this you’ve seen before, and some you haven’t.
The vault entrance is so charming…I’m praying I can convince them to let me hang my stuff on the entrance…think the red blazer can go.
I love my little spot…the only thing I’m not a fan of is the flurescent lighting. I have to have it to shoot, so you’ll have to always forgive the bright spotlight from the heavens.
I wanted to obviously focus on bringing in furniture, but I definitely wanted to add some great finds and repurposed items.
You saw the flea market sign, and I definitely had to throw a few blue mason jars in. I’ll show you the rest of these furniture before and after’s soon. You might not be able to tell, but I’m not totally finished with the book page wall.
I brought my white aged antique vanity and school-inspired table in,
along with some little lavender pillows…they’re beautiful and I’m so happy to carry those beauties by The Vintage Thread! They are smelling up the whole shop and everyone is in love with them, including myself. A vintage frame got the chalkboard treatment, and I’m still gazing with wonder at that green scale.
I found a beautiful old tool caddy and rolling pin, and vintage book bundles are sure to be a staple in the space.
I sort of flipped my lid upon finding the beautiful vintage jug, sifter with aqua handle, and rustic shadowbox…3 of my favorite finds in the vault.
I brought the stamped vintage tray and my antiqued silver leaf lamp, and found a lovely old chicken feeder (which of all things, it’s the one I’m having a hard time letting go) and a old ruler repurposed into a hanger…I added some cute knobs from Hobby Lobby. Can’t you just see pretty scarves hanging from it or maybe in a mudroom holding a dog leash or two?
That’s the highlights for now. I’m sure it will evolve over time as my tastes shift and as I bring in more inventory. I’ve already got these beauties on the way…
Annndddd, 58 and Grace (where I got the adorable bingo pieces) will be participating in my 2,000 Followers Celebration Week when I get home. I’m looking for some unique Etsy and handmade giveaway’s…if you would like to participate in the week of giveaway’s, please shoot me an email with the subject line: giveaway week. I just want to make it the coolest week of giveaway’s ever for you guys!!! You are the best readers/friends a gal could ask for and maybe this will be my little ole way of making it up to you!
See you tomorrow for a furniture makeover…or two.
The vault space looks terrific. It really has a nice rustic feel to it. You pulled it together quickly. The furniture fits nicely into the space too. You should give yourself a big pat on the back!
Love it! I can’t wait to visit Troy Antiques and peruse the space myself. Congratulations!! God bless and keep you in this new endeavor.
Congrats on getting the Vault up and running. I’m sure it was a ton of work, but it looks great. My eye was really drawn into the space despite the ugly red jacket
I wish you much success!
Shaunna, so excited for your new venture! Your shop space there in the vault looks beautiful. I wish you many sales! xoxo
Hey Shaunna! Congrats in order here! And….yes-I think you get the door…it is, after all….part of the vault….I think you need something to let people know it’s you in there! Maybe a cute little awning over the door-with a sign!
Also-let me know if you need or would like to add some pillows…
Have fun! It will be great! Debbie
Looks more like a showplace to me! Great items!

Congrats on the opening. It looks great and you have some great items in there too. Love the little caddy. It looks like a shoe shine box to me. My dad had one. I also like that glass jug!
so excited for you. looking forward to hearing about your successes. my little stall is going ok – I’m still selling more off eBay and off my blog but it’s good to have all the furniture out of the house and somewhere safe and nice to display it.
all the best

Your space looks great. So many lovely pieces. I wish it was here in Ottawa!
So excited for you Shaunna! What an accomplishment. Love everything you’ve filled your space with. I’m currently selling my furniture and finds at various shows in the area, but am considering renting a booth locally. I’m hoping you might do a little series on some of the business details of your booth once you get up and running. Would love to hear that aspect of it.

Congrats! You will have a blast with this! Love your chest of drawers, it is beautiful. My husband and I will celebrate our one year anniversary in August with our booth space. Thanks for sharing and many blessings for much success!
Wow! How exciting for you..It will be so fun to watch this turn into something BIG!! You are very talented…Thanks for sharing!

What fun Shaunna! Congrats again!

Shannon
love love love! wish i was near you to shop!
Very Cool! What a cute booth!
Hey Shaunna,
I have a question. First, your booth is beautiful! If I make it to the Gulf Coast this summer, I’ll have to stop in. I’m pretty sure I have the same furniture set as the the nightstand with the blue mason jar on it. Do you mind telling me what color you painted this? I got my first can of Annie Sloan paint in the “Cream” color but I think I want something more white. Thank you!
The vault is looking very cute. Best of success!
That looks like a great space! You’ve done a good job on the display and vault prep.
Where is Troy Antiques?
The Vault looks very inviting and you did a great job choosing everything in it! Can’t wait to see more!
Hi there…are you in Troy AL? If so I will tell my family to check it out. I grew up there but now my hubs is stationed in CA…so we dont get back as much as we would like too. Congrats on the new opening! God Bless!
I am, Kelly! Send em’ on!
shaunna
Sweeeeet!!! I will send them your way! Congrats!
What a perfectly lovely space filled with such wonderful things! I’m so proud for you Shaunna, Congratulations does not seem to say enough. Your hard work, creativity and talent really show off in this shop! I can’t wait to come see it! I’m in love with the gray dresser and the silver lamp looks so great there. But…..my favorite is the chicken feeder…..no idea what I’d do with it but I just love it. I can almost smell the lavender and am anxious to get some! All the best wishes to you for your continued success! You deserve it!! Take care, VBg
Whoa! Love it! Congrats!
Your vault space is gorgeous!! I love every item in there! Your style is so classic and vintage and I find inspiration in it everyday! Thanks for sharing and good luck with the space
It looks fabulous. Love it!
Cheers!

Your space looks great. I have two chicken feeders I can’t give up,(spent a lot of my childhood pouring feed into them) but don’t know how to display them. What are your ideas?
The red blazer and hooked run are a riot, but your space is awesome! It’s a breath of fresh air, classy, eclectic, lovely…just great! I am so excited for you, girl.
Your space is lovely, vintage and whimsical!
I stumbled upon your blog while researching thrift store re-dos and love your work! I found a local distributor of the chalk paint and I think I’m painting everything not nailed down in my house . I need to go and get more Old White, you are right, a can lasts a long time. I live not far from you in Calera. Next time I’m in Troy, I’ll have to look up Troy Antiques.
