Hi, late reply, but a fun way to display your discoveries, and i'm surprised you didn't find more outside, is a glass case. I live in an old house, land granted in the 18th century, barn long gone, original house burned down, and i have dug up so many old things, first started displaying in a large bowl, but now are in a small glass case, almost like a little terrarium. I have found a rimlock from the barn, silver, broken transferware....have fun with it, its the history of your house. :)
you made me laugh when you were describing running for the trophy...my money is on you! beautiful vignette. love your hutch corner and side table. thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us and inspiring us.
You could display those items in a shadow box or mini shelf and place them in a utility room/laundry room. I'm that way(excitable) about pretty white porcelain, depression glass , old atomizer perfume bottles and glass trys,or anything that I think is functional,but hard to find.
I always get excited when I find that someone saves one of these old homes. Also, I have seen some homes that have a white interior, but seem to lack the element of beauty and interests that captures the eye. White is actually a difficult color to work with if not decorated right. It's wonderful to see how you mix so many textures to make so much eye candy and especially with a late victorian house. Just love it! Keep it up!
Thanks Igor - sounds like you think I pulled off the white! Thank you!! The house REALLT need the freshness of the white and the wood work was not high quality. Thanks for coming by today. Have a look at the before videos!!
Oh Kelly... LOVE your tips! Yes,, “Longaberger Baskets” are pricey, but totally worth every penny! I have a house full of their Basket and my dishes are from Longaberger. Use my basket to store many items in! I love that huge “wood cutting board” on your kitchen island. Don’t you just love finding treasures in your walls! My Father built our large kitchen and we had to take a 20 foot long wall out from storm damage and my Uncle had signed his name to one of the studs, they also left other little treasures in the walls. Love your story on the Trophy... that would be something I would do, run across the room. I am also feisty at Auctions when it’s something I have been searching for!
What a delight it must have been to see your uncle's name on the stud in your wall! Hope you took a photo! Yes, those baskets are quite price, but I am now picking them up at estate sales for a song. I researched the company, but didn't know they made dishes too.Thanks so much for watching and for sharing in your comment.
So glad that you showed that it’s about small touches that can be decorative and seasonal at the same time! I’m just getting ready to decorate for fall and was thinking I have to put all my current decorations up and put all new fall objects! Thank you, I like all you have in your home, I aspire to have the same type of decorating style!
That small square Crystal thing is not a ink well it is called a salt celler. It was put beside a plate with a tiny spoon and filled with salt for people to salt their food. Before salt shakers. And your rusty "spoon" is a rusty knife. Nice finds though.
I can't believe you don't have the white linen curtains from your home, in your store, I just knew they would be there. I will try to sew my own, I love your simple elegant style.
I love that hidden door to the basement! And when you were talking about finding that trophy cup, I totally got it. When I see something at a yard sale my heart speeds up worrying that someone else will get to it first!
Hello, Kelly. I've been very worried about how close the fires have been to you, and if all those you care about have been safe. It's so horrifying to watch the news and see all the destruction and hear of the terrible loss of life. I so love your kitchen - each area has something beautiful to see! I love that you painted a longaberger (sp?) basket black. That's such a great idea! I see them in thrift stores (but never a cooler) and wouldn't mind having one in black. I can't believe you have that fabulous (and spooky) passage to your basement! And the things you found, like a little time capsule, are the sort of objects I love! It would've been phenomenal to find a handwritten note with them!! I could see them displayed on a small antique mirror (or old, tarnished tray) with a feather in the ink bottle. Sort of like this image which was from Victoria magazine (source: discardedforlorn.blogspot.com). 3.bp.blogspot.com/_wBHWbRqGiOs/TI6GGdW5poI/AAAAAAAAAK8/3cdluVbCeu8/s1600/vic.jpeg I hope your pups (and family) are well! - Rebecca
Hi Rebecca - thank you so much for your concern. We are fine, but so terribly sad for all the people in harms way of the fires. Thank you for watching and for your WONDERFUL idea for displaying the "buried" treasure I found in the wall. I LOVE your idea and the image from Victoria. The feather will give the display some needed height. :)
Enjoy your channel, lovely home. What intriguing finds... you definitely need something special to display... as i was writing a vision of the wood circle wall art with the small shelves inside might work... keeping them in a easy display all in one. Truly do appreciate all you share on your channel, thank you so much. Have a sweet day♡
Oh my goodness! How long have I been following your blog, etc? And this is the first we are hearing that you house has a secret passage?? How cool is that!!
Can’t see the “ink well” but I believe it’s a salt cellar/dip as I have 3 collections of these I inherited. Each guest had one in front of them during dinner to be able to salt their food as they like or to use to dip things in.
Hey Gwyn, Welcome! Love Sarah - so glad you popped over and subscribed. Thank you! If you enjoy podcasts check out mine @ www.decoratingtipsandtricks.com or right through itunes. Lots of great tips in each episode. See you here again soon I hope. :)
I Put together a shadow box for my dads baby shoes and christening gown w some other things including a small little doll that was his as a baby. My mom loved it.
Hi Kelley, Interesting found you had in the wall of your house! I do not have ideas of what you could do with it but can tell you this.: When we demolished a wall inner house we found a birds nest and a stamp of 1886 in it. Many many years later only I learned that one put such things when building as a token of good luck.
Oh my goodness a bird's nest!! 1886 - that is the year my house was built. It did seem the items I found were put there together on purpose. the items were too random to have accidentally just come together in that wall. Thanks for sharing!
Love the bowl of yarn/twine! The counter vignette with the trophy is so classy! The cozy corner with the comfy chair looks so inviting! Cool finds inside your basement wall! How about a glass display case for finds? You may be able to find something at a thrift store (I'm a huge thrifter) or Craigslist. I love your style! New subscriber! Thanks so much for sharing your finds!
Thanks for sharing your decor and tips. I always seem to overdo decor especially at Christmas, I will take on aboard not to overdo seasonal decor in future. Love the old pieces you found, thinking about the story behind each item . xxx
That is so awesome to find the treasures in your walls. I bet there are places all over your home like that. You live in a beautiful area, I lived kinda nearby but got to drive thru many times. Do you still have the wild peacocks? Also Love Rachel and now your beautiful channel.
Hi Kathy - yes there are wild peacocks & a giant flock of bright green parrots that fly over head every morning & pass the other way about 4:30 pm each day. Kinda wacky with the wild life around here!
I bumped into one of your videos today and could not stop watching one after another. Your kitchen is beautiful, thank you for sharing! Would it possible to share the paint color of your kitchen cabinets?
Hi Brandy - the envelope pillow is from my shop Bespokedecor.store . Here is a link to the envelope pillows we have now: bespokedecor.store/search?type=product&q=envelope . Thanks for asking!
Love that oven

Hi Donna - thanks so much for your idea! And now I am heading out to dig in the yard for treasures!! :)
The things you found in your wall may look good in a shadow type picture frame. Love your taste and style. Thank you for showing us.
Great idea Penny! Thank you.
What about a tabletop shadowbox for your discoveries?! That would be a great conversation piece!
What a great idea Dusty! Thank you :)
you made me laugh when you were describing running for the trophy...my money is on you! beautiful vignette.

A light touch goes a long way & leaves time to actually enjoy the season! Thanks for coming by Cynthia.

that is a killer stove......I love it
That is so exciting!!!! How interesting?!?!
It was Heidi - thx for coming by ...
Yay so much! I don’t like clutter & go all out like some but I do enjoy touches of seasons.
I love all of your discoveries. I would have been so excited about that find.
I love that hidden door to the basement! And when you were talking about finding that trophy cup, I totally got it. When I see something at a yard sale my heart speeds up worrying that someone else will get to it first!
It would be scary if we were at the same sale !! ;)

A loong time! Yes I have been keeping the secret door a secret I guess! xx
Very fun, thanks for sharing.
