Unlike the Hallmark movie channel, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, and okay, let’s be real, just about every big box store out there, small business shops like our #rustandrefindartisanmarket are enjoying the last wisps of Autumn and pumpkin spice while furiously decorating our shops and ordering or buying for the Christmas 🎄shopping frenzy that is soon to be upon us. 🗓So, save the dates! Our next artisan market is 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭-𝟯 where holiday and winter decor will make an appearance and we will be bringing in even more for our Holiday Open House 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟱-𝟭𝟳 which will include live music, @toys_for_tots_organization drop off, refreshments, @fleetwoodfarmwinery and more. 👉🏻Guest vendors welcome (please DM for information). The shop is already looking quite festive...stay tuned as we start posting sneak peaks and details! Come join us for some festive cheer ...and yes, if Hallmark can start airing Christmas movies in October, we can start playing Christmas music in November. 🎄🎵

I am not sure why, but lately I am gravitating toward simple but elegant kitchens like this one from @plainenglishkitchens . In love! We’ve seen several styles over the years...those Tuscan kitchens, farmhouse, French/French Country, modern and so on. I have seen a more “clean” look lately. What is your favorite/least favorite style or trend prediction?

Just back from a too-short visit to Nashville, Liepers Fork and Columbia Tennessee. We went primarily for my husband’s father who was inducted into his high school athletic hall of fame from 1952, but incorporated visits to family and long-time family friends. One of them, Mr Buck and Miss Winona Locke, included a visit to their Second Empire/Mansard style home they purchased in 2013 and that their son is painstakingly renovating. Three stories (the third floor was a ballroom), Palladian windows, and was built in 1872, also owned by President Polk and purchased by Sheriff Sims Latta and later in 1893 by local banker Robert Church, and is now on the National Register of Historic places. Seldom do you see large historic buildings like this continue to be homes (in fact, I believe there was only one other nearby that was still a home). It’s approximately 8,000 sf and Matt (the son) has done an incredible job of renovation to include peeling 7 layers of plaster off the walls, refurbishing the grand staircase (still original), flooring, crown molding and baseboards, outside trim and wood/fret work, roofing, additions and bathroom installs, heating and air, kitchen reno, porch additions, landscaping, and oh so much more. We only toured the main level (the upper two floors were their son’s part of the home, while they live in the main level). To see more pictures, head over to my Facebook page www.facebook.com/rustandrefind. If you had the opportunity, would you undertake a home renovation this size?

Such a cute small Tennessee town... Liepers Fork is just outside Nashville and hosts a small artist and music festival and has the cutest shops! Family friends have a 35 acre farm here and I’m suffering withdrawal after the too-short visit!

Is this not the cutest nursery ever? Louise Roe @louiseroe shares her english-inspired nursery in PEOPLE and I’m totally crushing it! Elegant, non-fussy, and classic. And, guess what? That dresser? Yup, Rust and Refind has a very similar one right now on Etsy and in the shop!

So, humorous me usually doesn’t rant, or complain, or vent, or wear my emotions on my sleeve. But, three hurtful words today by a complete stranger had such an impact on me and something I have worked very hard on for several years. Three. Words. Yes, I know that only I have the power to let someone else get to me or not, but with that being said, it still weighs heavily. We all know that a simple smile can make someone’s day. But, also watch your words.

One of my favorite repurposed products I have found...an antique farm/harvest cart, possibly Asian, but found in England. Litter style, but too small for people transport. I haven’t been able to find anything like this online to compare, but it’s very old and was converted into a coffee table using small trim as supports on the interior and a glass top placed on them. Ottomans/stools could easily be put inside the double handles on each side for extra seating/storage, too! Or lanterns, like I had done in the shop. A fun conversation piece. Now on Etsy/Facebook shop.

Not many English barley twist pieces left..they’ve been flying out the door. Just put this one on my Etsy shop. Great little end table or even a porch small table for drinks!

Seen at Mission BBQ, and this could also be “If you knew you couldn’t work tomorrow, love tomorrow, pray tomorrow, how hard would you...” Happy Friday!

I love natural pine pieces, don’t you? But some pine is better than other pine, and oak and pine pieces are my faves to whitewash. I have had this piece for a few months and my intention when I got it was to paint it white or whitewash it, but haven’t got to it yet. It’s now getting closer to my to-do....and I thought I would ask you all, first. Paint, whitewash, or leave as is?
