Read MoreI’ve always been one to love the thrill of the hunt. Traveling to a new place to search for our next greatest treasure is the very thing that gives me the drive and inspiration to find those perfect vintage pieces that fit right into The Vintage Round Top web shop, and ultimately, into your home!
Read MoreGrowing up with a Swedish heritage, I’ve always been drawn to the beauty of natural, simple and understated decor. When it comes to the holidays, there seems to be even more of an opportunity to achieve this with forged and handmade items being the base of your styling.

Read MoreI’ve been reflecting on the amazing journey we’ve had and all the opportunities that have come along since we invested in the original farmhouse that is now The Vintage Round Top back in 2011.
Who would have thought then, that a choice to move “backward” per se to simpler times would be a source of cherished community, creativity and inspiration in the here and now.
Read MoreRound Top magic is always alive and well during Antiques Week, but we got our own special dash of magic at The Vintage Round Top when we collaborated with Parachute Home on a gorgeous fall dinner party held in our Boho cottage.
Read MoreOver the years, we’ve had the pleasure of working with several photographers to capture the cottages. Each photographer has a unique perspective on the aspects of the home that speak to them, and I’m always amazed at how different the space can appear when shown through a new lens.
Read MoreTwice per year, we gather at the cottages with 50 + business owners and entrepreneurs who are eager to soak up as much connection, inspiration, and education as possible. Our latest was held on Saturday, September 22. The day started off with coffee and mingling, the first of several networking opportunities woven in throughout the day.
Read MoreGetting to share the magic of Round Top with our guests and attendees is an incredible perk of our business, so we were excited that Southern Living Magazine shared their take on our sweet town in a jam-packed 10-page article in their September issue! The national exposure is sure to let so many more people know how special this town really is.
Read MoreIt seems like summer just began, but here in The Vintage Round Top office we’re thinking way ahead to fall and those yummy Thanksgiving dishes that grace our tables each year. We've been in the planning stages of something special, and we’re excited to announce that we’re hosting our third cooking retreat with Marcia Smart of Smart in the Kitchen on October 20th!
Read MoreWhen we first purchased the home we transformed into The Vintage Round Top, we never would have imagined how it would change it our lives. We grew to love the space and feel grateful to share it with others. One the years, we’ve hosted hundreds of people, from antique shoppers to wedding guests, and everyone in between. We’ve been able to share the Round Top magic with so many, and it truly makes us so happy.
Read MoreAlyssa Rosenheck, Nashville-based architectural photographer and stylist, will be one of our panelists for our upcoming Business, Branding & Social Media Workshop on September 22, 2018. Alyssa is a true joy and inspiration — she is as kind as she is talented, and lives each day to the fullest. Alyssa’s background is in the corporate world, but after picking up a camera and subsequently being diagnosed with cancer, she was thrust onto a new life trajectory.
Read MoreShea McGee, interior designer and Chief Creative Officer of Studio McGee, will be one of our panelists for our upcoming Business, Branding & Social Media Workshop on September 22, 2018. Shea got her start in the interior design industry after graduating with a degree in Public Relations, but soon realizing that designing homes was her true passion. With her ‘vanilla’ tract home acting as her canvas, her design skills started to catch the eye of friends and neighbors.
Read MoreFor the past several years, we’ve gathered twice a year at the cottages with entrepreneurs, shop owners, photographers, florists, calligraphers, designers, and more for our Business, Branding & Social Media Workshop. We’ve seen strangers become friends (and even business partners!) and witnessed the spark of creativity unfold over the course of just one day. Our attendees always leave feeling inspired and motivated to put their learnings to use in their own businesses, with notebooks full of inspiration.
Read MoreWe love the antiques business for so many reasons. The main one being the stories behind the merchandise we buy and sell. We've always felt the souls of those that either made or owned vintage pieces are past down as well. So, when we had a chance to buy a large lot of items from the Shudde Bros., we couldn't wait to find out their story.
Read MoreIf you've followed our journey for any length of time, you know our mantra of Living With Intention is the sole reason The Vintage Round Top exists. You can read about how our causal afternoon drive turned into a lodging business and lifestyle brand here. Today, I'm sharing another person's story about being intentional, setting goals, and putting fear aside to reach out to a stranger with an idea.
Read MoreWe're rounding out our three-part series on our shoot with LoveBash Designs, Hannah Haston Photography, Posey Floral, Wedding Wellness, and models Ashley of Fancy Ashley and Brittany Wheeler with some bridal brunch inspiration! Carmen of LoveBash styled a colorful, spring-inspired spread in the No. 1450 dining room where we toasted to a fun day of collaborating with such a talented group. The light-filled room made the perfect backdrop for the brightly colored florals and citrus fruits.
Read MoreToday’s post is a little different than those we usually share in the interest of letting you 'behind the curtain' of running a business. Although we often share about fun collaborations, vintage shopping trips, and the homes we’ve lovingly curated, I can assure you that everything is not fabulous all the time and the tough life stuff does affect our business.
Read MoreThis Father’s Day, I’m reminiscing on the traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation. I consider myself blessed to have had the absolute best father in the world. Growing up, it was always special to be able to use my creativity to make a gift by hand for him. I think I can speak for my father and certainly for Smoot in saying that there’s no better present than one that’s made from love and thoughtfulness. Whether that looks like handmade notes or intentionally carving out time together, I always love seeing our children spoil Smoot in their own special ways each year.
Read MoreA relaxing weekend in the country always feels like the perfect escape. My cares tend to melt away as soon as I hit Highway 237 and I can breathe a sigh of relief as I pull up to the cottages. A lovely group of ladies got to experience something similar a few weeks ago at a Yamuna Body Rolling retreat hosted by Michelle Gregovic and Dianne Glass.
