Whether it is hundreds of years old or brand new, crafted with an intentional distressing, it’s these imperfections that give our pieces that vintage charm we all love.

GALVanized vintage decor
Galvanized metal is not only a staple in the world of farmhouse, but also in vintage décor. Incorporating pieces made from metal or steel can add texture and character to your home. Keep your mind open to the all the possibilities of this material – furniture, wall signs, tabletop decor. If the idea of incorporating galvanized metal is overwhelming, start with pieces that just have a touch of it, such as a wooden table with a metal top.
