the warehouse

It was only six months ago Lynley and I opened our own little shop, The Warehouse, in Waco, Texas. We've talked/joked about it for a long time and our dream is finally in the works!  Throughout college we had the charming hobby of collecting a hodgepodge of treasures including mismatched dishes, vintage furniture and shabby decor. These "treasures" were relative to the eye, but luckily we saw the potential in things that most would see as...well...just "junk." We were drawn to anything vintage and had a hard time getting rid of things we couldn't currently fit in our tiny apartment, but one day, just possibly, might have the perfect place for. So, these abounding treasures began gathering in the one place we did have room for them- our parents' garage...which we affectionately called the warehouse. Last summer, when my parents sold their house {uh, rude} we had to find a new home for our treasures. {cue: epiphany light bulbs now} We thought why not open that little {very little as it turns out} store we've talked so long about and share our cute little treasures with the rest of the world...or Waco! When things began coming together, we couldn't think of a more appropriate name for our budding store than--The Warehouse. 


So far, it's been an exciting adventure! We've had fun crafting, antiquing furniture, and perusing flea markets, on the hunt for one-of-a-kind finds. We have all kinds of unique, vintage home decor. And if we can't find it, we make it! Check us out at Spice if you are ever in Waco. In the meantime, here are some pics to see what we've got goin' on...
