Vintage

In Wichita, Jake and I built our dream home.  We filled it with amazing new furniture that was durable to withstand our very young family.  I decorated both kids rooms on things I liked and thought they would like too.  This was what they knew home was like.  Then we moved to Spokane.

Here, we had the kids very involved in deciding which house we would buy.  They even picked out their rooms before we closed on it.  So as they unpacked their boxes and decided what they would keep or not, they slowly began to decorate their own rooms.  Owen said it best when he told me, "We haven't been here long and it already feels more like HOME."  He has been able to explore what he likes and so has Allie when it comes to their personal spaces.

The same goes for the rest of the house.  We are living in a home a few years shy of a century old and yet our newish furniture somehow worked in ways we hadn't used it for before.  Unfortunately, some of the pieces didn't even work due to the space.  So we have been looking outside our norm for options.  Enter Boulevard Mercantile.

This place is AMAZING!!!  It was a whisper of a window front that caught our eye as we were driving down the street one day and decided to stop and look inside.  I am so glad we did!  We have since found character pieces that not only fit our new family home, but add to the charm and style we've got.  I'm sure we will be going back to get more in the future.
