Did You Know?

Did you know that this store has 7 ROOMS and 3 FLOORS???

Most people who walk in are completely surprised by this fact!!! From the outside, Lafayette Antiques & Home Decor is a quiet little unassuming shop. Then you walk in and find you are in a wonderland of antiques that will take you on a walk down memory lane…

I cannot count how many times I have heard, “Oh, my grandmother used to have that in her kitchen!”

“We used that kind of phone to make calls and I would stretch the cord as far as it could go!”

“I went fishing with my dad and he always kept his worms in an old coffee can.”

 

Three floors??? Yes, we do!

                   

When you walk in, you will be on the first floor. Standing here, you will find the original wood floor from the shoe store that once occupied this part of the building. This space contains beautiful antique cabinets, jewelry, china, Fiesta ware, a random rooster or two, and Nancie, Carolyn, or Jen waiting to chat with you as you check out!

 

Walk up four steps and you will find yourself in the world of vintage crates and more in Green Frog Antiques, everything kitchen in Gramma K’s, a hallway of treasures…

 

and more rustic riches in a room full of crocks and trunks and western figurines.

 

 

Heading down the wood floor hallway, you will find a few steps taking you down into the basement where you can still see the old garage door that opened to the garage where Terry used to work.  (Ask Nancie about Terry.) Down here you will find a room dedicated to vintage baby clothing and toys, sewing items, handmade doilies and quilts, and my favorite, teacups just waiting for a Sunday afternoon tea party and a group of giggling children. We also have fishing supplies, a stove or two, old windows, a corner full of frilly dishes and pictures that take you back to the Victorian days.

 

This is just a little snapshot into the three floors and seven rooms of Lafayette Antiques.  When you are ready to wander back in time, please stop in, introduce yourselves if we haven’t met yet and then head off onto your journey. Can’t wait to see you!

Vintage Whimsies @ Lafayette Antiques

It has been a while since I have shared complete area pictures of our vendor spaces. Things change around here so quickly that sometimes it is hard to get new pics. 🙂

Autumn of Vintage Whimsies has been a good friend for years, and had decided to do a little downsizing of her collections. Boy does she have some cute stuff!!

 

 

Next week we’ll share pics of another vendor’s space.

Have an awesome day!

Old Suitcase Ideas

Love old suitcases? Not sure what to do with them when you get them? There are so many creative ideas to do with them, I am sharing just a few.

If you don’t have any suitcases to convert, don’t worry we have a nice selection of styles & colors in the store!

I have so many people looking for vintage medicine cabinets – isn’t this such an awesome idea, and great use of an old suitcase. You won’t see two alike.

This is such an adorable table, and DIY. Another idea – add small legs and a pillow inside and you have an awesome dog bed! Your pooch would be the talk of the neighborhood!

This table would look awesome in the entry way! and just think of the storage also you would have.

Have an awesome weekend, and don’t forget to share pics of your old suitcases!
