Lost & Found Decor
США
Добавлен 21 ноя 2017
Hi Friends! My name is Melanie and I am the owner of Lost & Found, a vintage painted furniture and home decor business.
For almost 10 years now, I have been painting and thrifting my way to a beautiful home on a budget. I believe you shouldn't have to be rich to be proud of your home! In fact, with a little paint and some hunted-down decor, you can style a home that is unique and tells a story, all without breaking the bank.
Here on my channel I will be sharing with you my tips for how you can learn to paint and transform your own furniture. I'll also share my love of decorating with thrifted and vintage finds.
I also am passionate about small creative businesses, specifically antique booth and painted furniture businesses, and I'll be passing along my best business tips here as well.
Thanks for joining me!

My Antique Booth Got Hit By a Tornado. Moving out and Sharing Lessons Learned from the Experience.
Просмотров 12 тыс.14 дней назад
Just a few weeks ago a series of tornadoes touched down in Rogers, Arkansas. 3 out of the 4 main antique malls on the "antique strip" were badly damaged, including the one where my booth was located. So many vendors had inventory destroyed, and now have no place to sell what they were able to salvage. I'm taking you inside my own badly damaged mall and sharing a few lessons I've learned from th...

What's It Like Starting CrossFit at 40? My Health Journey 1 year into CrossFit as a Middle Age Woman
Melanie, Im so sorry! Praying for you all ❤️
I didn't see the link you mentioned for your go-to brush. Did I just overlook it?
Thanks for this! I'm a few years younger (33) but have rheumatoid arthritis so I've been nervous to give crossfit a go. I feel much better about trying it now!
I’m so sorry for all the losses, including loss of booth space. Thanks for such an uplifting attitude!
I love the quilted glass pitcher with handle, great item!
I got the first tip. Thanks.
Your mother is so pretty….you really do take after her. I love hearing her thoughts on the items.
I love the black-white-yellow, it really pops!
So in my mall when I ask what is selling I get the same answer "it's just a variety of everything"! So I am not getting a straight answer. I have two booths that were once offices so I get lots of privacy! Currently I have one room 'guy geared' and the other is for 'the ladies'! So I want to switch it up! I want to do one whole room just for kitchen items! The other would be more of a modge podge of other items! I just want to try it out! I really haven't found my groove yet and am still searching! We will be moving our mall to a bigger location in November! I will be taking on a third booth when that happens! I need to definitely improve on my pricing! That is a real struggle with me! I love doing this! I just want and need to improve! I was really happy that in May I made the top 5 sellers! That to me proves I can succeed!
Where do you get your transfers?
Some stores don't give an itemized receipt, so I jot down a description and cost before I leave the parking lot.
This is heartbreaking. In Austin, Texas, one of our Antique Malls closed after many years. It was such as loss to our community. I hope that the vintage community in your area finds a great space to rebuild and start afresh. Good luck to you my friend.
Great job! Just having that beautiful and unique space you created is such a WIN! Congratulations! It takes guts and a work ethic to make it happen.
You’re in my hometown, 3 antique buildings!
Great video thank you!
Looking good I also like your hair…
I loved your tags…big and the price is easily seen. 😊
Thank you for taking us along! Your space looked AMAZING!!! I'm sure it was a LOT of work and wore you out, but a great experience! Enjoyed watching the young people help and your son showing off! 😂
Wow lots of stuff but way over priced items. It is my experience especially if the selling prices on furniture is too high you will get to take them home and not move them.
You related you learned what things are selling at this time..... can you share that with us. Thanks.
U mentioned the hot sellers can u share what that includes?
That was so fun to see. The work part is a labor of love.
Your booth looked great!
Your booth looked great and I saw many wonderful pieces. It looks to be an amazing amount of time and work but you all did great. If I lived closer, I would definitely have attended.
I believe anything made of plastic should be banned.
I actually need a chamber pot at my log cabin. No power , no plumbing , - 32 degrees below zero in winter. Too much snow to go to the biffy in the dark. Scary cougars and.moose. Bears are sleeping. Greetings 10 miles N of Washington state in Canuk Land.
Wow, that's a lot of stuff! Do you have a store front?
Love your set up. Thank you for sharing. Wish I could go but it looks to hot for me. Perhaps in the fall. Hope you made lots of money.
I love the way he keeps checking himself out in the 📷 lol typical guy.
Amazing
I’d add some trim around the tent to draw attention,all the areas looked the same, if allowed I’d use garland, flags to draw people in. Just an idea. Your items are beautiful, I try to keep things simple becuz it’s mostly me who’d be doing the work lol, in my area people like digging thru boxes and I try to have boxes of that type so they can get their digging in…my best to you
I wondered how you would do and if you'd like the experience! Was it worth it? Have to consider all you learned as well❤ thanks for sharing with us!!
All I can say is you are very fortunate to have the hard working family that you have😊
I loved your booth. It was very inviting and just the right balance of items. I don’t think it was overcrowded, like someone else stated. You have to have some abundance because it’s a special event and you don’t have a back room to stock. You did great for your first time!
Melanie, as always your staging and setup is impeccable and fun! So glad you have 4 strong men in your household to help you set up and tear down, the hardest part of doing a show. You have such a great eye for pieces and you had quite the selection. Enjoyed that you were able to take us along for the experience!
I'm sooooo sorry. I'm crying while watching....God bless you with something greater....
Your booth looked AMAZING, I’d love to hear what items you were seeing that people were interested in and ones that didn’t get as much love.
Your booth was beautiful!! I loved a lot of what you had! ❤❤❤
Looks totally amazing ❤
I’ve found bringing only items I can easily carry and aren’t bigger than I am, sell better. Your booth looked amazing with a great variety of unique items.
I find that right now the furniture pieces are not moving as they once did. More smalls less bigs as I say. Good job!
Love your set-up.
I believe this economy is the reason for slower sales. Things will get better soon. :)
So sorry that happened.
Your booth looked amazing! I’m curious if you would do it again?
XO
Boy, I hope you sold a LOT so that you didn't have to pack up too much. Idk, Melanie, it seems so exhausting. You have enough inventory to fully stock your own store. Thanks for sharing your experience. A real-time look-see is very helpful. Get some rest now! 😅
Your booth looked great!!!! And it is awesome to meet your subscribers 😊
Oh my gosh! How very interesting, entertaining, and enlightening. Of course, intellectually I was aware of how much work is involved in the set up/tear down process but actually seeing it in action gives whole different perspective. You are lucky to have family members who can and will help with all the lifting and carrying. I'm unfamiliar with the Junk Ranch show but now that I have seen it, I'll be watching to see if it could somehow fit in a travel schedule. Your booth was well designed and carried lots of interesting items. From the looks of the show, I would think it is a "feather in your cap" to be a vendor here and I think it is well deserved. Thanks for sharing.
Your booth space looked amazing! Do you think you brought too much inventory? Would you do it again?
