The Rural Society Antiques and Garden Show - October 4th

Some uber cool finds...gearing up for the Country Living Magazine Fair in Columbus, Ohio

Things are in full swing here while I gear up inventory (and myself) for the Country Living Magazine Fair. Here's a sneak peek at two signature urban farmhouse style items I'm bringing.

Will I see you there?

Who doesn't love a farm table? Especially one that is AMAZING as this one? At some point in her life the poor dear had been painted an ugly high gloss brown and yellow. So I had er stripped back to her raw beauty.

The top is tongue and groove. On the left is raw and on the right is with a coat of hand rubbed clear wax.

The edge of the table was finished with mitered one inch half round. There was only one original piece left so I cut four new pieces and nailed them on. My Granddad, who was a finish carpenter, would be very proud. When I walk in any lumber yard he is the first thought in my head. Lumber yards smell just like him or is it vice versa?

You all know me and my affinity for urns. I stumbled on this gorgeous pair of monumental Kramer Brothers Floral No. 1 just in time for the fair. If you were me what would you fill them with for the fair? I'm going very simple and classic and making a giant moss ball for each one. Like the one in the last picture which is from Better Homes & Gardens. That way the urn will be the focal point rather than the arrangement.

Refluffed with new stuff

Spent two hours resetting my space at Grandview Mercantile yesterday. Here's a few pictures for you to peruse. Happy Wednesday!

New finds

I'm finally getting some new finds added to my web store. Between my space at Grandview Mercantile and the shows the website has taken a backseat. But bear with me...I'm getting there.

Some new finds. . .

It;s crazy busy around here (just as it probably is at your house too, isn't summer supposed to be a little slower?). In between the hunting and gathering of goods I have restocked my space at Grandview Mercantile a few times and moved out of Finder's Keeper's. Hopefully I'll find some time to restock my web store, if you happen to visit it my apologies, with the demand of the new space my website has taken a back burner. I would love for you to join me on Facebook too, pictures of new finds are posted there almost immediately as the Facebook app permits me to do that from my phone and the blog photos must be loaded from my laptop. Plus, it's just fun! Check it out here: https://www.facebook.com/urban.farmhouseohio

How is you summer?

urban farmhouse finds available right now

Happy Monday! June already too!  My husband and I spent the weekend rounding up some exceptional pieces for you. Look what we found. . .

 

Don't you love re-purposing old finds? These century old cast iron park bench ends are way too gorgeous for them to be done with their lives even though the bench no longer exists. What do you think of the silhouette they create on the wall? They flank an antique cast iron fence gate unearthed in Pomeroy, Ohio. [these pieces are in my space at Grandview Mercantile, if you are interested in them please call 614-421-7000]

This is one of those pieces I wish I had room for but I don't. Antique one drawer country store counter complete with bell in the drawer. [this piece is currently in my back-up inventory storage, if interested email me at urbanfarmhouse@gmail.com]

A darling hickory table plus these four captains chairs, they are super comfortable! [these pieces are currently in my back-up inventory storage, if interested email me at urbanfarmhouse@gmail.com]

 

How about this find??? A circa 1930 French wine cage!! Honey...can't we build a wine cellar just for this piece? This would be great in a restaurant or brewery or in any one of my fellow wine lover's homes (you know who you are...and there's a lot of you). Price on this piece is $1,495, compare that to the price on the ones on 1stdibs!!! [this piece is currently in my back-up inventory storage, if interested email me at urbanfarmhouse@gmail.com]

Now a few snapshots of good at The Mercantile . . .such a funky eclectic mix!

Mid-century modern, primitives sporting their original paint, Hollywood Regency, European finds...the Mercantile is an ever changing collection of all this and more.
