Your little chippy cabinet is a radio cabinet from the 1920's, it would have been up taller on legs, no door, the opening had no door, however some had two small doors too to get to the knobs for the radio, it appears at sometime someone cut the legs off but used the ball feet to make feet for thr cabinet, it's an adorable piece, hope this helps! Your hutch in the kitchen area is most likely a Belgian piece from Europe, about 1930. I was an antiques dealer inTexas, imported antiques from England & Europe, for over 30 years, hope I've been helpful.

[@LostFoundDecor]

That is helpful, thank you! And yes, the radio cabinets makes perfect sense, I can see it :)

35 previous comments all day the same thing, your home (not house) is beautiful. Anyone can have a fabulous house ,but it takes loving care to make it a home. On a personal note I loved your top. You are a beautiful woman inside and out. Great video. I'm a grandma so I can give you compliments. Take care. Reading all the comments, most of them call it a home. You project home all you do.

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thank you Christine, for such a kind and thoughtful comment!

[@kayhenderson7040]

Melanie "THANK YOU" for sharing your vast gold-mine of experience, information and knowledge, as well as this tour of your beautiful home. For so many of us who are in the learning stages you are such a treasure. If you pass through Joplin in SW Missouri sometime there are quite a few antique shops and flea markets in this area.

[@LostFoundDecor]

You’re so welcome Kay! I appreciate your kind words :) I’ve been up to Joplin once to go to the weekend flea market, and keep meaning to take a trip back!

[@capridillon8595]

oh, my goodness!!! I have a son and daughter that live in Conway! Love Jennifer's! And The Painted Goat on Oak Street.

[@LostFoundDecor]

We haven’t been there for 15 years, so a lot has changed! It’s turned into quite the bustling little town!

[@twistoffate4791]

At 7:49, I just love the special glass installed in the upper cabinet. I also enjoyed the story about the antique dealer who shipped all the neat pieces, including your shelving unit, from France.

[@LostFoundDecor]

All of these old things really do have fun stories that go with them :) That’s part of why I love it so much!

[@susanrandle2260]

You have such a lovely home! You have decorated it so beautifully mixing antiques and modern furniture. Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thank you for watching :) Glad you enjoyed it!

[@drsandraclark]

Love your videos!!!! You seem like a good friend that would be so fun to shop with! I totally agree with you about mixing and blending pieces of all backgrounds simply because you love them! THANKS for your time and energy in making these vignettes of your life and home!!!!😍🤩

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks so much Sandra! I'm always up for a shopping buddy :)

[@bonnierainwater4484]

Loved this video. You make perfect sense about vintage/antiques pieces. They usually aren’t perfect, because they ARE OLD. They have stood the test of time and are still here to be used and appreciated. And! Btw, your cat is beautiful!! We had 1 that was very similarly colored. She was THE perfect cat. Even turned my husband into a cat lover. Thanks for opening up your home to us. It’s beautiful❤️

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thank you!! That is Dixie, and she is super pretty. But she is far from the perfect cat 😂😂 Glad yours was better behaved that she is!

[@margaretpence7831]

This is my first time watching. I love the mix of old and new. I look forward to checking out more of your videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks Margaret!

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks Margaret! That means a lot 😊

[@doloresrose371]

Thanks for sharing! Love your style and your videos. I, too have antique pieces mixed with new furniture. In my experience I buy inexpensively and then change up as I find better pieces. I also have refinished numerous pieces. My daughter now uses my desk that I first refinished when I was 12, after receiving it from my Uncle. It is in it's fourth makeover, brought back to more how it was originally in the 1950's. Keep sharing! Thank you!

[@LostFoundDecor]

That’s awesome! I love how many lives something can have :)

[@chandaharkins4418]

Yes, for sure - mixing old and new makes a home look homey. Thanks! Same kind of tips for kids apply to dogs. 😂

[@melaniebernard3688]

I loved this glimpse into your home, Melanie! I’m feeling inspired to fluff my house a little now!

[@LostFoundDecor]

Awesome! So glad!

[@barbdaly4809]

LOVE those pieces Melanie! ...especially everything about that large piece in the entry!! Your house is beautiful mixed with old and new... I really also love that chair in the living room with all the turned wood, I think next to the fireplace

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks Barb! Believe it or not, that chair was a Tuesday Morning find for like $100! Do they have those stores up there? I snatched it up as soon as I saw it!!

[@barbdaly4809]

@@LostFoundDecor Great score! It fits perfect with your decor! We used to have one, but it closed and now there's none around 😕

[@jenniferholston8650]

Your home is beautiful, thanks for sharing it. I really enjoyed hearing the stories behind the pieces too!

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks so much Jennifer 😊

[@scarlethenderson6510]

I live in Hot Springs 🤍 I remember the junk Lady she had some awesome stuff years ago

[@LostFoundDecor]

Yes!! She did!

[@kellyandcindymurphy1218]

I loved seeing your home! ❤️❤️

[@LostFoundDecor]

Aww, thanks! Maybe y’all can see it in person sometime :)

[@darlenepearce6440]

Beautiful home like that you are real, and love the tips you gave. I bought an old record table that someone had chalk painted and I love it. I paid sixty five dollars for it. It is very heavy and solid not real big either. I love it. My first antique purchase though was a two tier round table small in size at an antique store for ten dollars it is solid walnut. Just thought I would share. Have a blessed and fabulous day😊

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thank you Darlene for your kind comments and for sharing!

[@desanders12]

Thank you for this video. I appreciate the history of the pieces you spoke about. It adds a lot of interest to your video. 😊

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks Deborah! So glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@terrizimmerman5297]

What a beautiful pine hutch!

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thank you Terri!

Thank you Louise! 😊😊

[@Skylarkhouse]

Great video! I love the story of each piece.

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Your home is lovely Melanie! That pine cabinet with the china is amazing! I've never seen anything like it :) Our home is a mix of vintage and antiques as well as some new pieces. I love that look so much too! Thanks for sharing!

[@LostFoundDecor]

It makes for a really unique, collected feel, doesn’t it? I’m sure your space is lovely Cindy, with all your creative talent!

[@Magarita810]

I love all the pieces you have, although I would have restored those first pieces to the original glory. Love the bookcase, looking for something similar as I have IKEA storage, now into old pieces. Will take your advise and be patient. I love the fact that you have done what I see a lot on KZbin. KZbinrs who do not appreciate antique pieces and as result by paint them😳 I found a Drexel bookcase, I did not know what I had till I looked on the receipt and did some research. Got it for £70, the guy normally sells the for £150 but he wanted to get rid of one of the holdings he was using, so he was selling the items in them cheap. It stands at 197cm, 78 wide and 38cm in depth. is so beautiful.

[@george.carrasco]

Loved it!

[@anitabarker3125]

Enjoyed your home visit of your antique treasures. I love the hutch that holds your china. It has the look of Scandinavian or French. It certainly is a statement piece. I love mixing furniture no matter the style if I like and there is a need it will come home with me however I very price does matter.

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks Anita! I do really treasure that piece 😊

[@delightfuldaisy1]

You have some AMAZING pieces! Loved hearing the stories connected with them and I appreciate how authentic you are, Melanie! You are a REAL person and I feel like I know you even though we've never met! Lol!

[@LostFoundDecor]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!!

[@suecraig8630]

Melanie - I just discovered your channel and enjoyed it, so went back and checked out some previous videos. I came across the one you did about the ugliest comment and wanted to applaud you for addressing the situation with such kindness and grace. Your channel is one I will continue to watch. Kindness doesn’t take any energy and gives back many times over. Thanks for sharing.

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks Debbie!

[@elisayager634]

Loved the tour Melanie. The cabinet in your entry way is gorgeous but the cart on the front porch is drool worthy to me! Thanks for sharing your (very clean) home. My living room is my workshop because the lighting is great in there so you won’t be seeing a tour of my home any time soon! 😆

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks Elisa! And I did pick things up first, so don’t worry! There’s plenty of random stuff usually sitting around 😉

Thanks Carrie! I live in NW Arkansas

[@jodylarock2003]

Beautiful home! Thank you for sharing it with us. I’m guessing that the small cabinet with the door once held a radio. Take care!

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks Jody! And yes, I think you’re right!

[@lolaseymour1532]

Another great video Melanie! Curious what paint color did you use for your walls in the living/dining room? It sets off your furnishings nicely. Thanks

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks Lola! It's Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray

[@lolaseymour1532]

@@LostFoundDecor what an appropriate name!

[@chattykathie7129]

Is the top a match to the bottom of your China cabinet. It looks different

[@LostFoundDecor]

Yes! It is :)

[@Ohsirruh]

I love the color of your walls. Can you share what the color is and the manufacturer? TIA

[@LostFoundDecor]

Sure thing! Our living room is SW Agreeable Gray, and our kitchen is SE Silver Strand

[@tracimurphy7337]

Love the furniture, but your lamp shades are crooked. My ADD brain is distracted.

gotta love those ADD brains! I have one too :)
