Welcome

Kitschy began on a summer afternoon when Rebecca and Lisa browsed through an estate sale. They bought a beautiful piece of furniture together and started a business that day! Antiqueing, Thrifting, Flea Markets...that's what they do! They search for one of a kind flea market finds, estate sale treasures, and garage sale fixer uppers. They do the rigorous leg work for you and put in the hours of elbow grease needed to refinish a piece of furniture. (They also pick up lots of fun trinkets, bric brac and artwork along the way!) They have a year round booth that is packed full of inventory at The Parker Shoppes. They also participate in the Paris Street Market May thru October where you are sure to find a one-of-a-kind piece no matter how big or small!

The ultimate treasure hunters!

It's not very often that we run into an opportunity like this...We were able to rummage through an an entire estate that was being demolished in the next few weeks.  We found doors, windows, shutters, toys, tools...all antiques.  It was awesome!! 
 The old shed in the back offered us lots of weathered wood and a great old door.
 

We love chicken wire, so we ripped this window right off!!

We even discovered an old mechanics hole in the garage and of course we needed to check if there were any treasures hidden in there!  


Sometimes we have to be practical and even though this dresser was really, really old, it was a piece of junk, so we had to leave the poor thing behind.

 Oh boy, another garage to go explore!  What is behind this rickety, old door?
Once we got inside we found some amazing old doors up in the rafters so we snagged them!  Rebecca really wanted to take this piece home.  But, it was a beast and it was falling apart so she had to leave it behind.

To top off the hunt, I found a heart shaped rock on the property which I took home for my daughter, Samantha, who has a collection of amazing heart shaped rocks.  What a great day!
