Blue and Brown Vintage Fall Decor Inspiration

Blue and brown vintage decor and fashion finds! The Lucketts Fall Market is fast approaching, so I'm spending more time on the road thrifting and antiquing .   I must have been in a blue and brown mood last week and unintentionally gravitated toward a collection of curated vintage decor.  I didn't realize it then, but when I got home and laid out a few pieces, I noticed how beautiful and curated they looked.  DO BLUE AND BROWN GO TOGETHER?  Yes!   Blue and brown (orange) are opposite on the color wheel making them two colors that naturally complement one another.   From fashion to decor, pairing deep cool blue and rich warm brown tones creates a beautiful and undeniable contrast.

Vintage Tennis Racket Photo Display

CHIPPY ANTIQUE WINDOW SCREENS PAIRED WITH OLD WOOD TENNIS RACKETS CREATE A FUN AND UNIQUE PHOTO DISPLAY! I headed from Maryland to Pennsylvania for an auction pick-up and vintage/thrift shopping a few weeks ago. While there, I stopped at a few of my usual spots, including a cash and carry wholesaler.  I walked to one of my favorite dealers and found a stack of vintage window screens.  They were beautifully chippy, the most perfect shade of green, and only $5 a piece!  I've hung wreaths from antique window screens before , but this time, I had the idea to create a unique photo display using vintage tennis rackets.  SUPPLIES NEEDED TO MAKE VINTAGE TENNIS RACKET PHOTO DISPLAY - Vintage Tennis Rackets (thrift stores, flea markets, yard sales) - Vintage Window Screens (architectural salvage yards, Facebook Marketplace) - Fishing Line - D-Ring Picture Hangers - Scissors - Drill - Poster Putty Resource: How to Thrift: The Best Thrifting Tips and Tricks I bought most of......
