My Favorite Vintage Finds in Our Waco Home

I love adding vintage furniture to our home. Each piece is carefully sought and there is always a story that comes with it. Today I am sharing my favorite vintage pieces in our Waco home. 

Lately, I have been obsessed with looking back at all of my vintage furniture finds. 

I think it’s because I haven’t been able to attend any flea markets. You might enjoy my Insider Tips to Flea Market Shopping.

In order to fill my need to shop at a flea market, I have decided to share my favorite vintage finds in our Waco fixer upper home. This just might be a pretty long blog post because there is a lot to share!

Where Did I Shop for Vintage Furniture?

I purchased a majority of the vintage items (like 95%) at the Round Top vintage fair. It’s held twice a year (spring and fall) and I love the items and prices very much! I also bought a few pieces at The Findery in Waco. The Findery has two stores, and my favorite is the warehouse in the back. They have some wonderful vintage pieces and furniture.

Let’s start in the living room where every single vintage piece is from Round Top. In the photo below, you might notice the coffee table. It’s actually a vintage trunk. I bought all of the vintage items on top of the trunk, including the small cards with words on them. I thought they might be fun for our guests to enjoy! I also bought the vintage end table and wire baskets son op of the white cabinet.

The cabinet is for storage and I absolutely love it. It’s simple but has nice details and it was very inexpensive (as in a few hundred dollars).

The architectural piece above the french doors was an awesome find, I wanted something that was about a foot tall to hang above the doorway because it is about a foot lower than the two windows on each side. By adding the architectural piece, it pulls up the height of the french door in line with the windows. I know it”s a minor thing but to me, it makes a huge difference.

Since our home was going to be an Airbnb, I wanted to find something unique to hold all of our guest’s comment cards. This cabinet is from an old general store. It was used to keep a tally of all of the farmer’s purchases in town throughout the year. Once the harvest was completed, everyone paid their bill. 

The papers on the left are original and I love seeing the prices on the receipts! I also love seeing all of the comment cards left by our guests. I cannot wait to get back to Waco to read them all.

Our kitchen island was the find of the century. The color varies between blue, green, and gray, depending on the light and time of day. It’s an old general store counter. It had a modern top which I replaced with butcher block.

I have also collected a lot of vintage accessories for our home. I love vintage glassware and the seltzer bottles and weck jars were less than $10 at Round Top.

I bought these tall vintage French doors while we were still under construction and found the perfect place for them. (The doors ended up determining the height of the doorway!) These were also from Round Top.

I wanted vintage doors all throughout the interior of our home and I. found all of these at a local place in Waco called Laverty’s. I think they cost about $10 each which was a lot cheaper than a new door! I also bought the door hangers at Round Top. They were only $1 and I love them so much.

The laundry room door is also from Laverty’s. I had to have glass put in the window and someday I am going to etch or stencil “LAUNDRY” on the glass.

In the master bath, I have two pieces of vintage furniture. The vanity was a piece I found at The Findery. It was a sideboard and yet I knew it would be perfect in our master bath. One of the last items I bought in Round Top was the shelf I use for towels. I absolutely love it.

The last room I am sharing is the middle bedroom.  It’s always. been kind of a “mish-mash” room that I have always felt needed some TLC. Each bed has a trunk at the end and I bought those at Round Top right after we bought the home.  My favorite vintage finds in the room are the two architectural porch railings that I hung above the beds. I bought these in March, just after Round Top was closed for COVID, and a vendor was thrilled that I bought them. I didn’t dare bargain because they were so cheap and I knew they were going to look great on the shiplap wall.

I almost feel like I have been vintage flea market shopping today so this tour on my blog has been a great thing! 

I only hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
