The Found List No. 01: The Old Things I’d Happily Make Room For

I spend an unreasonable amount of time both on Facebook Marketplace and on Etsy.

Sometimes, I actually know what I’m looking for but more often than not, I am just habitually and curiously seeing what is new. I’ll open it for a quick scroll and 20 min later I’m trying to figure out whether an antique pine cabinet located a few cities over could fit in a room that I had no intention of changing.

The problem is that there are way too many good things out there that I have absolutely no business bringing home. And rather than continuing to send screenshots to friends and family who did not ask for them, I thought maybe I should start sending them to you. So let’s take a treasure hunt together, shall we?!

First of all, I am always saving things to my Etsy Vintage Saves folder which you can always find here.

But today I want to focus on Facebook Marketplace because it’s been exceptionally good. I love that the best pieces aren’t necessarily the ones with the best photos or detailed descriptions.

For these Found Lists, I’ll be sharing the pieces that made me stop scrolling and consider rearranging my entire house for: antiques, vintage furniture, art, things for the garden, strange little objects with no practical purpose. I’ll tell you what why it caught my eye and what I’d personally do with it. Some might require a little imagination! Some might be more obvious.
