Happy May to you! I hope all is well, in your world! Mr. Wonderful and I took a drive up to Tahoe, last Sunday, to check on the reclaimed wood flooring installation. This photo was taken in the living area, before the ting oil was applied, which will deepen the tones. We chose ting oil over a man made sealant, like verathane, because ting oil is easier to reapply, at a later date. The only downside, is that it takes a few weeks for the smell to dissipate. The living area looks huge, without furniture in it. The kitchen island…

Hello! Have you gotten this month’s stash of furniture catalogs? Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, Ballards…the list goes on. They are all still showing painted furniture. It’s been popular for years now! I look at their prices though and know why so many of us are restoring our own well made vintage and antique, real wood pieces, for a fraction of the cost! Don’t forget about our next Vintage Market, Sunday, May 22nd! We’ve had two new vendors move in and we’re all bringing in treasures you’ll love! Mr. Wonderful will be grilling (complimentary) hamburgers, too! 🍔 ________________ Classes: May and June…

Greetings!, Great news! You’ll have even more variety to choose from, when you shop our Vintage Market! In the past week, Donna moved in, with her pretty treasures. Her kids are grown and out of the house and she’s filled the empty spaces and attic, with lots of beautiful antiques. Donna’s spent a number of her vacations, traveling abroad to her favorite place, England! You’ll find some of those pieces, in her space, facing Bob’s Cycle Center. Jill has been eyeing this darling first aid box. Donna is skilled at the sewing machine and makes beautiful lined market totes, with vintage…

We have great gifts for Mother’s Day, including this stenciled chalk board and memo board. “My Stylish French Girlfriends” is back in stock and a real delight, for lovers of all things French.

Hello, Sunshine!, Yes, May is a couple of months from now, but I know how busy y’all are and want to make sure you pencil us in! True confessions! I’ve made a few buying mistakes, for the Tahoe Fixer, including these beauties, above and below! Oh, and then these chairs I ordered (slip-covered) didn’t work. 🙁 I have them priced at cost, in case you are interested. Let’s make a deal! On a more positive note, the antique coffee table, pictured above, is newly restored and lovely! These vintage end tables are new too. This little two-toned antique side table…

Love vintage treasures, repurposed finds and the thrill of the hunt? Are you currently a vendor at another shop? Looking to become one? The Treasured Home takes pride in offering quality furniture and home decor at fair prices, in a welcoming environment. While we opened the shop over three years ago, we just started adding vendors into the mix, 6 months ago. Julie, in the corner window, facing the bike shop, is moving out soon. She’s been a great addition to the shop, but she needs to focus on her counseling practice. Most customers never know we have vendors, because our…

We got new spring and summer scarves in yesterday. The linen scarves are light as a feather! We also have a few that are quite large…as seen in the photo, above. You could wear this as a scarf, a swimming suite cover up, or even a table cloth! Take your pick! Yes, that’s Bob’s coffe cup, you see on the asphalt. We were at the shop, last Sunday morning at 6:30 a.m., to welcome Nah, from Good Day Sacramento! They filmed on site, right at the shop! It was worth losing a little beauty sleep over! A link to the…

Have you ever had a project that you thought would never end? Yep, me too! I’m like a five year old, wondering when Santa will arrive. It isn’t pretty! You’ve heard me talk about The Tahoe Fixer…for 21 months now. Not that I’m counting or anything. While we (I) had hoped that it would be finished for last Christmas, my new hopeful date for completion, is June. Of this year. Dear Mr. Wonderful, has worked so hard! He has more energy than some men, half his age! We’ve had some wonderful sub contractors help as well. Today, he’s installing bead…
