Favorite Vintage Finds of the Week- February 16th

Hey everybody! Hope you all have had a wonderful weekend and a lovely Valentine’s Day. We went out for a pizza lunch date and then spent the afternoon playing with legos and making a chocolate cheesecake. It was pretty great! So, one thing that is pretty cool in my family life right now is that my mom is buying a new old home in Sanford which is about an hour outside of Raleigh. This home needs a lot of work but it is a pretty cool old dutch colonial. I want to say it was built in the early 30’s. They are going to be pretty much gutting and restoring everything inside and out, so I have been looking a lot at old wallpaper and tiles. My mom’s looking at doing some kind of fun tile backsplash in the kitchen. So, this week I thought I would share some of my favorite vintage tiles with you all!

I really love the old nursery tile and the trivets would just be fantastic accessories in the kitchen! Do you all have a favorite this week?
