Layering second-hand finds & thoughtful updates Follow as we revive our historic 1902 Colonial Published-Buffalo Spree & Home Links & collaborations👇🏻
  • POV: You walk into an estate sale with the future homeowner!
Come along as I tour an estate sale with my dear friend since high school, Katie, who also just so happens to be the new owner of the house! 
Stay tuned! As we’ll be sharing how we style our vintage finds in another video.
Congratulations on your beautiful new home, Katie! I can’t wait to help you decorate 🏠♥️
  • Each thrifted treasure has an untold story, and you have the ability to write its next chapter 📖
While spray paint is not always the answer, you can’t deny that sometimes it’s exactly what a piece needs.

👩🏻‍🎨Comment “SUPPLIES” and I’ll send you everything I used to transform this metal wall planter. I’ll also break down exactly how I styled it in another reel soon.

Each year, I add more character and personality to our front porch with a mix of modern and vintage finds. When I first came across this metal wall planter, I knew it belonged on our front porch. Once I brought it home, though, I was pretty underwhelmed. The white planter disappeared into our white stucco walls.

I did some research and came across @rustoleum ‘s Evening Navy - a deep, rich, French blue. After one coat of blue and a clear coat to seal and protect, the planter was ready to hang. Now that I’ve made it my own - it feels like it was always meant to be.💙

  • 🍾Would you have styled the champagne bucket with champagne on a bar or with flowers as a centerpiece?
👩🏻‍🌾I also found a vintage metal hanging wall planter - I’ll be showing how I style that on my front porch in another post this week!
  • When my friend surprised me with a box full of her great-grandmother’s china, I assumed it was one matching set. To my surprise (and delight), each piece I carefully unwrapped was as uniquely beautiful as the last. What a treasure! Thank you @jillylillian for gifting me such an exquisite and meaningful collection 🥹🤎
  • My good friend gifted me her great grandmother’s china. She said it had been sitting in her basement in a box for some time, and she knew I’d appreciate it.🥹
I sorted through the box and started to set it up for display in my antique banker’s cabinet (will share this week). There are several sets of tea cups with matching saucers and plates, each one a different pattern. So interesting! The varied colors and patterns are so beautiful, and I couldn’t help but jump on this trend of filling the teacups and plates with words that describe our historic home and my decorating styling.
  • What’s Lost is Found Part 36, with a nod to Memorial Day 🇺🇸
THANK YOU to all of the men and women who have so bravely fought for our freedom. 

Sharing many of the thrifted finds I showed in my last reel (I’ve linked it for you). Follow along to see the rest of my finds styled for summer ♥️🤍💙
  • Hot take: The best patriotic decor isn’t sold in the patriotic decor aisle 🇺🇸
✨I’ll be sharing how I style these vintage finds with you soon!

Many of the classic pieces I’ve shown here are adaptable to any holiday with a little thoughtful styling.

Welcome! I’m Kristen, founder of Maple House Buffalo, interior stylist and content creator, and I’m so happy you’re here! As a wife and full-time working mother of two boys, it’s my goal to inspire you to design a perfectly imperfect home you love. I share a mix of high-end and affordable home decor and DIY projects that reflect the design and renovations of our 1902 Colonial Revival. I love mixing vintage and antique pieces with modern decor – and the design and organization tips I share empower you to put your own personal spin on decorating like a designer. Follow along with me here and on social media as we  gradually update our century-old home. I hope this space helps to inspire your own inner sense of fun and creativity – and thank you for joining me on this journey!

Feeling like you need a bit more guidance and support in terms of your home design? I would love to help! Please submit your interior design inquiry here and let’s get started creating a home that’s a true expression of you and how you want to live!
