Home sweet home. Hannah and I just signed the lease to our wonderful new apartment located in central Tampa. It is far better than we expected, and we are thrilled to start our life in this amazing place. I begin moving my stuff over this week, and Hannah will move in after we've wed. We have lots of space with plenty of character, but as I mentioned here, very little furniture to start with. Feel free to send plenty of decorating ideas, advice, and furniture our way. I have 4 months to to prepare!
Previously, I discussed that when going vintage, be sure to utilize resources that take all the guess work out of buying vintage accessories ensuring you look sharp, and not confused during your vintage wedding. The same should apply when buying vintage or antique furniture. Searching out vintage pieces on craigslist, yard sales or thrift stores can save lots of money, but if you aren’t careful, you'll end up with furniture you'll soon be hoping to replace.
Grooms, when it comes to home decorating I am as clueless as they come, but if you (like me) need to furnish a home on a budget make sure you:
Research First – There are books, magazines, and blogs with the your style of an antique home. Research what’s unique about the style of that period and you'll be able to narrow down all the options out there when you are shopping.
Ask Your Neighbors – It’s likely your neighbors have a similar house to yours. Ask them what they'd do with your open space. They'll also probably know the best places to find the unique pieces you're looking for saving you precious time.
