OMG - OLD MADE GOOD

If you are in Nashville then hopefully you are familiar with the shop OMG (Old Made Good).  If not, then please get familiar fast.  This is a quirky little shop in East Nashville owned by two fabulous ladies Kate and Ashley.  They have a great eye for seeing the potential in vintage items and how they can be re-purposed or styled for today's decor.

They recently moved into a new space three times the size of their original.  In true OMG fashion, their main renovation to the new space was installing a gold glitter floor throughout the shop......yes gold glitter floor.  It is so fun and you can only really appreciate it in person.

I visited the shop recently and here are a few snapshots of the new space and current inventory. Check them out if you are local, if not, check out their website.

I really want this piece of art for my house.  I mean The Royal Tenenbaums...cult classic in my book.

Flea-Bitten

No, not those type of fleas. This weekend was the Nashville Flea Market. If I'm lucky, the Flea weekend starts on a Friday and ends on Sunday. This Friday, mom and I met up with Melissa and Melanie to hunt for treasure. We arrived around 9am and I immediately found this wonderful spun fiberglass patio set from the 1960s.



















I could just see this image from House Beautiful in my head.

Unfortunately, it was out of my budget but I did come home with a very cool, very large wooden "A" in an Art Deco script. It is the latest addition to the Bombshell Boudouir decor. For some reason, it reminds me of Laverne's "L" on Laverne and Shirley or the Beverly Hills Hotel Sign font. I would love to know it's history.

After the Flea, we headed to East Nashville to my favorite local mid century modern shop Wonders on Woodland, had lunch at Mad Donnas (Turkey Melt is the best) and then headed to OMG (Old Made Good) for some funky art and vintage therapy. I found an amazing vintage blouse that will allow me to channel Emily Henderson. Yes, I am slightly obsessed with her but not in a creepy way. I plan to look just like this wearing it minus the blonde hair.

Saturday was a lot of this in the backyard taking it easy with the kids and the dogs:



















Sunday started with one more round at the Flea to see if more vendors had arrived. Surprisingly enough, I scored a mid century modern bench to go under my HOTEL sign for only $20.00!! I have to recover the cushions but I think it will look great and what a deal.

The weekend is now winding down but what a great one!
