Exceptionally Eclectic – She Hearts Junk

June 30, 2012  Exceptionally Eclectic | Uncategorized

Must Love Junk.

Must Love Junk home tour - she has the most amazing collections and displays like this vintage shoe rack! kellyelko.com

I do!

We’re kindred spirits, Susan and I.

I mean we both share a love of and own

antique type writers, seltzer bottles, maps, wooden & wire crates, numbers, galvanized metal, fans …

whew (we need an intervention)!

Walk into Must Love Junk’s Entry and this stack of vintage suitcases tells you this is no ordinary house.

Vintage suitcase collection - she knows how to display the best vintage finds! kellyelko.com

And her Living Room really bowls me over.

Old bowling bowl collection - one of the many cool displays in this home tour kellyelko.com

Vintage camera collection - just one of the many unique display ideas in this home kellyelko.com

The Sun Room shines with this peeling old locker.

Love this sunroom and the old locker! kellyelko.com

and numbered blue coffee table.

Love this collection filled vintage sunroom - that coffee table! kellyelko.com

Check out the Living Room and that fabulous factory cart turned table.

Love this factory cart coffee table kellyelko.com

K is for Kelly and should be mine – not in Susan’s Office!

And you know I’m a sucker for an old fan.

She has the best vintage finds and knows how to show them off - love the old fan! kellyelko.com

A crusty cabinet filled with ironstone and topped with some of my favorite things – old seltzer bottles.

What's better than an old ironstone and seltzer bottle collection? kellyelko.com

So take a hop, skip and jump over to Must Love Junk.

And to think, when I lived in Columbus, OH for four years, Susan and I were neighbors.

I know we would have been the best of junking friends!

    WOW! It’s like a really cool vintage museum in there, I’m practically drooling, and that’s never attractive. But, just one correction, K is for Karah. Duh! 😉

    Oh you saved the day!! I saw her blog the other day- and I wanted to subscribe. Well one thing led to another- and it didn’t happen or go trough or I was abducted by aliens- idk? Anyhow- I forgot the name and thought I’d lost her blog forever! Yay for finding her again!
    Thank you!

Join me as I decorate my 100 year old home, scour thrift stores, create pretty things, putter in my peony and hydrangea filled garden, and mix up a mean cocktail all with a touch of sarcasm and a side of bacon - Cheers!
