Today’s Eclectic Home Tour is a feast for the flea market loving eyes.
Before Christy of The Strawberry Patch bought her Nashville cottage, she would do frequent drive-bys dreaming of one day living there.
Her dream came true and that cottage that just needed a little TLC is now a charming place that she and her three kids call home.
The perfect place for a rotating display of collections.
A table set for two with two of the coolest old basket lights.
A pair of shutters comes indoors.
What a heavenly bed with a fun mix of patterns.
An antique sofa comes into the 21st century with mismatched upholstery – including a wild zebra print.
I passed by a few of these tobacco baskets years ago at a flea market and I’m still kicking myself.
Christy also runs the most amazing barn sale on her parents sprawling 200 acre farm in Tennessee.
What started with seven vendors has grown into into The Strawberry Patch that hosts seasonal barn sales featuring over 40 vendors.
Make sure to check out their upcoming events and sale dates and if you are lucky enough to go, I’ll be happy for you but extremely jealous!

Lovely home and beautiful photography. I too wish I could go to that barn sale!
Ahhhh, repurposing at its finest! I love this look!
Love that she embraced the existing and tweaked things for this enchanting look.
Forgot to mention that super cute dog!!
What cool ideas! I love seeing what other people do with vintage finds in their homes and this homeowner has been super creative. <3
Awww, thanks guys– it’s definitely lived in and is full of life with my three kiddos and dog Stella!! Xo
Someone needs to tell the owner to get those lamps away from the sink in the kitchen. I can see her getting electrocuted.
Such a cozy, comfy, welcoming home, love all her goodies. and oh would I love to go to that barn sale. Saw all kinds of lovelies I’dlove to have. Why didn’t I know about that when we lived in KY? Missed out on all kinds of great places. Her home is wonderful. She has definitely put her personal stamp on it. Happy weekend
I want to go visit the Strawberry Patch! I love flea market finds! The home is very pretty…. love the dog!
I just love your blog!! I’m finally embracing my love of all things vintage and incorporating it into my personal style and home. I’m looking to gradually make my life vintage. Do you have any advice on how I can slowly introduce vintage into my personal style and home? Thanks!!
I say buy what you love and you can’t go wrong. Start a fun collection and display it all together. Buy things over time – the thrill of the hunt – and you’ll be able to sprinkle your vintage finds into what you already own. Good luck and have fun!
Good Morning,
I so enjoy your posts and have signed up via email awhile ago. I used to receive your blog through email, but now it seems like I only catch you on Facebook. Have you changed your format? Looking forward to more of your Eclectic Home Tours and Posts!
