Antique Shopping for the Farmhouse | FARMHOUSE DECOR

[@CottageontheCorner]

Here's a cool idea for old linens: I have an old piece of linen...maybe it was supposed to be a small tablecloth, but around 50 years ago, my grandmother started to ask everyone in our family to sign it in pen and she embroidered their signatures. Most of those people have passed on. I now have it and I had my kids sign and I continue to embroider their names. It's so unique and meaningful.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Wow! I like that! How Special!

[@rhondawilliams9449]

Brave girl going shopping with the kids in towe. Girl, with your nak for DIY projects you could make your own quilt. You are a good shopper but I literally get weak in the knees when I enter an antique shop. I end up loving everything and going home with way more than I should. But it all brings me joy every single day of my life. Crystal knobs can always be used somewhere. you can even use them to hang up your coats. Put them on a strip of 4X4 add the knobs and hang your hats and coats. Aren't you glad I am not with you. So easy spending someone else's money. LOL What a find for $48.00. Wow. and I almost fell to the floor when I saw the chandelier you bought. (those darn weak knees). I lived vicariously with you today. Thank you for those moments of joy. Look forward to seeing all that you can share.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

That's a great idea! Yes... it's very easy to get lost in an antique store! Ideas for everything!!

[@loribirchard9102]

I was thinking the same thing about the kids in tow at the antique store Rhonda, Eeek! They were very well behaved though 👏!!

[@rhondawilliams9449]

Yes, they were. Kudos to mom. @@loribirchard9102

[@emilydussel2904]

Bless you momma for taking the babies to an antique store!

[@albertasigh9617]

What great finds! But girl you are braver than me...I don’t think I would of had the courage to take my kids to an antique store! I kept envisioning broken plates or glass! Lol

[@barbaramathis5844]

You're so right, I was afraid the whole time some thing was going to get broken.

[@111-k4d9m]

So would I. But I think Lisa's kids are well behaved. I mean 'They were not running around like bulls in a China shop'.

[@beabasson3132]

Me too...I got stressed even just watching.🙈😂

[@srslymorgan]

Yeah I took my 2 kids to "explore" my first time at an antique shop.....NEVER again!!

[@LadyMarch]

I have 5, and no... I never take them shopping. The only time we get away from the kids is work, or the weekly grocery shop. We call it 'date night' lol.

[@djbrec]

Ross from friends quote while moving the armoire - Pivot, Pivot, PIVOT!” 😆

[@ssg8051]

I don't know you, but I love you for this reference. Cheers, Ardith

[@happymimi5668]

I can picture and hear Ross saying that!

[@lauriehester4682]

In our house it would be Chandler replying "Shut up, Shut up, Shut upppppp!" ;);)

[@mom2charlie99]

One of my favorite Ross lines ever!

[@janellemargot4376]

Have you seen the spoof video where they all have huge mouths? It was created using snapchat 😂😂😂

[@marciabruderlin5546]

The look on your little boys face when he was asking for the toy was just the cutest ever. Loved seeing the antique store. When my parents bought their house 50 years ago it came furnished with antiques. My mum still has nearly all of the furniture. Mum is 84 and she also has her great grandmother's table and 6 chairs which were shipped over from England. That shop was certainly expensive. I won a wrought iron tester bed for my daughter on ebay a few years back for $12 nobody else even bid on it. Really enjoying all your videos. xx

[@Jo-ww5ei]

Marcia Bruderlin ikr? I couldn’t stand it he was so cute. 😊

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thanks!! Antique furniture is the best! That's great that they kept it all those years!!

[@marciabruderlin5546]

@@Jo-ww5ei Yeah when he was nodding his head yes then he realized his mum was saying no and started shaking his head no. I think I would be in big trouble if I was shopping with him as he's so cute I would find it hard saying he couldn't get it! What well behaved children though to be able to take them shopping in antique stores. xx

[@konstanceleigh]

I wanted to buy the little boy the little I think it was a model airplane I wanted to buy it for him so much! I agree with you the look on his face was precious!

[@sww2420]

Lovely. So cool to see young people appreciate antiques/old houses. I think every child should grow up on a farm. Lots of memories will be made there.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Farm memories are great ones!

[@deborahhopper4832]

You are very brave to take all your kids to the antique store 😀❤️

[@cindyfleer2248]

It’s coming together! For the wooden drawers of the dressers or also clothing rods of wood I rub plain white wax on the base of the drawer and where it slides inside the dresser (a small white cheapy white votive will do the trick if you don’t have a bar of canning wax around): It makes them open so much easier.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Wow!! Thanks for the tip!

[@robinbeveridge7741]

Beeswax works better for sticky drawers, windows, doors! 3-in-1 oil helps also with sqeaky hinges, latches that are hard to work....add thise items to your homebody kit! As someone who has owned quite a few antique armoires, a lot of them could 'break-down' so they can be moved! Telltale signs of this are a top that lifts off, and a bottom shelf that pops up! It's been said that these old pieces are the forefathers of our current RTA furniture that you find everywhere! My current armoire is pine...was unfinished and also a knockdown RTA that I bought for 100 about 20 years ago...It came with a clothes rod but I was using it for an entertainment center. See if you can find an unfinished furniture store and see what they may haved

[@DoloresJRush]

My mother told me to use a white bar of soap to make drawers slide. And if the soap has scent, it makes the drawers smell good.

[@ramonawhisenant1891]

I enjoy your channel SO much!! It is wonderful that you are keeping the integrity of your old home instead of decorating it with new stuff. I look forward to everything you post!!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

I love how you’re basically teaching your kids how to shop as you go. You picked some great things!

[@heatherinsa8213]

I love how your kids have complete faith in your abilities to make just about anything. On a side note, You’re my new hero for bringing 4 kids to an antique shop. 😇

[@figgy7099]

Your kids are adorable and so well behaved, they really make me smile!

[@2021-j2d]

Well, first I must say your children are darling and so well behaved. Second, your style and coordination of antiques is amazing. And lastly, I really admire your patience in searching out pieces and not caving in if you feel you can get a sturdier piece for less. Amazing!

[@NaturallyBrittany]

His little face at 2:34! 😊 Too cute! 🙈💕💕💕

[@natalialopes719]

Your children are precious I love the little faces and the Little Voices. Mommy you can make it. He's so cute

[@ourdiyary]

That antique store had some pricey items, but I'm glad you found that chandelier!!! 😍😍😍 Can't wait to see the bedroom reveal, and good luck getting those giant armoires upstairs! 😧

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

I'm so excited for the chandelier!! I guess you never know what you might find!!

[@izby2652]

Spent the majority of that video stressed, don't know how you have the courage and calm to take kids into an cluttered antique store. Love all the cabinets.

[@willforeman74]

I love looking at old wooden furniture. The craftsmanship is always unique and the whole piece is generally real wood instead of more economic options such as particleboard with a veneer.

[@rosemarywascher691]

I remember back a few years ago when my sister in law tried to get a queen bed up stairs, they had to take the stair case out and several people helped lift it through the opening. Then they put the stairs back. I always love your videos. I am having so much fun watching you decorate.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Oh boy, we have our work cut out!

[@ralphrolon67rr]

Sooo happy for all this thats happening to you and your lovely family

[@livingauthenticallyonmyownterm]

You're kids are ADORABLE !!! What a bunch of awesome finds !!! ♥️

[@deborahheritage5581]

So excited to see your progress at the farmhouse. I love everything you bought especially the gorgeous chandelier and your children are so precious. I can't wait to see more videos around the farm.

[@Debra309]

Love all of it, Lisa! What a fun trip with the family. I'm on the edge of my seat. Can't wait to see the mudroom and bedroom makeover! And....YOU BROUGHT YOUR PUPPY HOME!!! Too cute!

[@karenhernke281]

Can't wait to see the bedroom!!! Thanks for taking us antique shopping. Awesome deals!! Love the light. 😊

[@tylerarruda2750]

Lol. @6:46 you said “I love that bed.” And your son said “well where would you put it, you already have a bed?” 😂 that was hilariously funny. Kid has a sense of humor or is very sarcastic and smart. Your reply though was like, well mommy likes it and will get it regardless of what you think. Love watching your videos. Your new home is going to look just as beautiful as your last.

[@renatefrancis390]

Loved you taking us on a trip to the Antique store and showing where and how you are decorating your new house with love more videos as you create your place for your FAMILY...Idaho

You plant that seed that your son knows “you can make that”. My little one says you can make it mommy you can do anything. Love this

[@jeanneamato5525]

I used to have an antique store. It’s hard to stay in business when folks want 100+ year old porcelain dishes for $2

[@humbledaughter2219]

oh please it’s just material things.

[@penelopetwain8332]

As with any business, you have to be competitive with your prices in order to succeed. So, if she's finding plates for $2 each at other shops in the area, then she's not unreasonable to only want to pay $2 each. And, if your prices are higher, then yes, you're going to have to shut down if you can't compete with the other stores in the area. It's not her fault that's the price they are going for elsewhere. I highly doubt you shop around and then buy the same item for twice the price (or more) just to support the shop owners, so it's not fair to expect her to do that to support your higher price.

[@figgy7099]

@Coco Squirrel Fortunately a person can pick them up for 50 cents apiece at thrift stores.

[@haleyhamilton6660]

We have the same chandelier above our piano, I love it!

[@janjentz1053]

You are one brave Mama; going into an antique store with little kids. Yikes. Love the items you purchased.

[@shelley_quilts]

Lisa ... I love Homer Laughlin, too. I have quite a few pieces ~ mostly platters from a very, very small one up to a few good sized ones !! I always look for Homer Laughlin when I am out & about.

[@BrandieSellers617]

This was such a fun video! I loved how well behaved and involved your kiddos were, too! It was so sweet! I love antique shops and look forward to the day I can do the same with my future kids. And I'm so excited about your new home! It looks like it's coming along beautifully!

[@rneustel388]

I don’t blame you for getting the painting done-if it was a contemporary house with sheetrock, plain walls, etc. it’s not hard to do that yourself, but your house would be a bear to do yourself! I’m so glad you’re going for the wood antiques-they’ll be exquisite with all that white!! The chandelier you bought is so pretty-it looks a lot like the ones that are made in Spain. I have two of those that I’ve carried to every house we’ve lived in! They were my grandparents’. I can’t wait for the reveal of your bedroom!!

[@chrissiewindsor]

The chandelier is beautiful!!

[@TheMinimalishMama]

You are so brave shopping with your kids in antique stores! 👏🏻 They’re so funny shopping for themselves and saying “that’s a good price” and “where would we put it?” 😂 Adorable!

[@curban616]

I love the chandelier!! Beautiful!! White pitchers and metal pitchers and wooden spoons. The best. I can’t wait to see the house! 🤗

[@sandylunden5782]

Love your vision. I’m so happy for you 💟

[@GrammaRosesHomestead]

This was so much fun! I have a beautiful armoire similar to those you were looking at in the antique store. I had no idea its value!! Same goes for my spool bed. I have a full set of Blue Nordic too. Love it so much. It seems we like the same kinds of things. When I saw your kids in the antique store I immediately thought how the owner must be chewing her nails and then I remembered what happened when I took my child with me to the jewelry store when I got my ears pierced. While I was being poked, she decided to try out the sterling baby teething rings to see if they were like the one someone had given her. I went home with four of them dented by her 4-year-old teeth!

[@nancyowens8414]

It was good that you were able to find different antiques for your home.

OH how I love your video

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thanks for watching!!

[@julieanns.7134]

Love this video. I hauled around a 1920ish light fixture that is a little more fancy then the one you have. Seriously, I spent around $20 for it over 25 years ago and never used it until I purchased my current house nine years ago. I cleaned it, had it rewired as it had the original wiring and that scared me and purchased replacement crystals for the ones that were missing. Probably spent a total of $30 on all of that. Finally, after all those years of hauling around and sitting in a box it graces my dining room and I love it. It is unique and no one has one like it.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Wow! I bet it is beautiful!!

[@julieanns.7134]

@@FarmhouseonBoone if I could figure out how to attach a photo I would

[@julieanns.7134]

Alsi, when antiquing throw a large cookie sheet and a roasting pan in the car in case you find a stove. That way you can make sure you favorite pieces will fit in it.

Can’t wait to see it! So glad you’ll have it done for you. Sometimes it’s DEFINITELY worth the cost. We bought a major fixer upper and I WISH (over 6 years here now and still working on basics) that we had forked over some of the up fronts.... Also- some friendly advice to anybody looking to buy their first home, don’t get a nice realtor! You want someone who is kind but firm. Who is willing to tell you when you’re making a bad choice, and fight for your rights. This was our first time buying home, and our realtor was way too nice, and we got steamrolled. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Oh well. Live and learn!

[@RobinJohnsonDecor]
