I'd like to give Michelle from Three Men and a Lady a proper introduction, but I don't have the words to describe how fabulous she is. Michelle has been featured here , here, and here. I could go on with her features. I have named her the DIY QUEEN. So with without future ado...
If I could re-name my blog I would arm wrestle Tonia for the blog name "Chic Modern Vintage." It really best describes what I strive for my style to be. Who wants a predictable space? Pttt-ewwwy! Anyone can go to a decor store and pick out a matching set of furniture and have it look acceptable but what's the fun in that? That's whay I love shopping for vintage pieces. They're unusual and so not expected in a space. Usually with a little TLC they can look fab. Here's a few of my favorites that I have in my own home.
Found this chair for $15.00 at a yard sale.

A little re-upholstery later... 
This winked at me at an estate sale.
I winked back and it came to live with me.
While on vacation I spied this vintage audio/visual cart on Craigslist.
My boys have put it to good use as their new bedside table.
The addition of the vintage locker basket and globe go together nicely.
I brought them home, gave them an new outfit to wear
and now they're suitable for the dinner table.
Vintage owl from Goodwill.
With a new updated look.
It takes practially 10 minutes to dial a phone number on this phone.
Despite the fact that it's not very functional my boys prefer talking to grandma on the "old phone" over any other phone.
I have a thing for vintage frames.

With a few additions it's now pretty and functional as a place for my jewelry.
