Hi Friends! My name is Melanie and I am the owner of Lost & Found, a vintage painted furniture and home decor business.
For almost 10 years now, I have been painting and thrifting my way to a beautiful home on a budget. I believe you shouldn't have to be rich to be proud of your home! In fact, with a little paint and some hunted-down decor, you can style a home that is unique and tells a story, all without breaking the bank.
Here on my channel I will be sharing with you my tips for how you can learn to paint and transform your own furniture. I'll also share my love of decorating with thrifted and vintage finds.
I also am passionate about small creative businesses, specifically antique booth and painted furniture businesses, and I'll be passing along my best business tips here as well.
Thanks for joining me!

My Antique Booth Got Hit By a Tornado. Moving out and Sharing Lessons Learned from the Experience.
zhlédnutí 13KPřed 2 měsíci
Just a few weeks ago a series of tornadoes touched down in Rogers, Arkansas. 3 out of the 4 main antique malls on the "antique strip" were badly damaged, including the one where my booth was located. So many vendors had inventory destroyed, and now have no place to sell what they were able to salvage. I'm taking you inside my own badly damaged mall and sharing a few lessons I've learned from th...

What's It Like Starting CrossFit at 40? My Health Journey 1 year into CrossFit as a Middle Age Woman
Thank youuuu!!!! I'm still super intimidated to begin the journey but this was incredibly helpful.
Where is the video on Christmas lights making it look twinkly and full
It's right here :) czcams.com/video/Zsl6Q-9wBY4/video.htmlsi=u1zsZmt1kv66dJYW
Thank you for your video and your information. My husband and I just started at 67. Absolutely hooked.
Thank you 😊
I very recently opened a small booth with a friend and have listened to several of your videos. You have been VERY helpful to us as we move forward in this venture and are appreciative for your insights. Thank you!
Awwe ya got the duck, but no vintage army stretcher? 😕😅
You were in my area. Open Market in Corinth is my favorite!
I am new and love your ideas and style!!
This video was so perfect to guide me! Thank you! Thank you! Aug.2, 2024 I started my first antique booth in Springhill, Florida. It is in a place called RMB's Arts and Antiques. Nice owners and 140 vendors! I am renting a very tiny space way in the back to get started but your video helps me formulate what to better place per month and what to save for other times of the year!!! ❤😊Trish
You're still positive and feel blessed. What an example for your family and others!! Good luck in future! Bravo. Nice son too! ❤
Brad, definitely!
Geeze, this is an awful story. I'm glad that you were able to salvage your inventory. Your heart had been sinking while you were walking to see your booth. I live in Georgia and tornadoes are common here too. I just opened a booth and it's located pretty close where a tornado picked up a house and dropped it on the highway. It never crossed my mind when I signed the contract for my booth. I don't think you're bragging when you're sharing an experience that others can learn from. I can attest to that very scenario myself. I was a stay-at-home mom for 13 years, I have no education. I used to work as a bank teller. Fast forward, my kids are grown and I needed a job. A friend who owns a little butcher shop gave me a cashier job. I got dressed every morning, make up, hair, clean clothes. A business owner came through my line one day and told me she was looking for some people to work for her. I ended up with the job making a bit more money, I can work from home, the office and do some local travel. I know for certain that if I had just been a mundane cashier barely talking to anyone, she would have never given me another thought. I tell everyone I know to always put forth the effort to look and perform above your job.
Team mom😮
If you watch Homeworthy or Quintessence you can see Chinoiserie is a classic aesthetic style.
How many lights per foot of tree?
I’ve sanded my final coat many times, but what happens when the sun hits the piece and you have full light you can see all the sanding marks, they’re Not scratches but you can tell you’ve sanded it down again
Wow very lovely video ❤❤❤
What are some of your favorite flea markets in Arkansas? I'm in NWA and need new haunts
Perfect video. I have been avoiding selling online (Ebay) because of the shipping UNKNOWN. Question: can I drop off box at a UPS also??
I’m in Memphis. Glad to see some places you found. If my husband needs to do business inside the bank, we go to the Selmer location. I saved the video so I can write down the names when we head that way. Counce is pronounced the second way.
Great haul! Thanks for sharing Junk Ranch
Your channel is great - such wisdom from such a young guru!
Your style is unique and I too decorate the same way.
Thanks for a great video. I want to try it but have been very intimidated. How many days of the week should a beginner commit to for those first few months?
Hello there! So i moved my two spaces in my mall to another section in the same mall due to problems from the building. We had flooding and drips from the roof only going in my booth. So we moved at the beginning of the month! Mind you we have been at this mall since they opened almost 3 years ago. So now do I consider myself as a new booth owner? My booths look totally different from my old booths. I am advertising as always on FB, and i do say how my booth moved to a new location in the mall. I feel like my sales are slow! I have lots of vendors that love my displays! Am i not giving it enough time? Am i being impatient? However, I have sold items in the new booths that sat and sat in the old booths! I almost feel like I am starting all over!🤷
Thank you for this!! The best video I’ve seen!! I started CrossFit at 49 just 3 months ago. I love it! Ties together all the exercises and lifting I’ve done over the years into a whole body workout for overall health. Great video and very helpful the way you’ve broken it down as well. Will definitely share
GTG 🐯
I also have started in my 43 cross fit and i totally love it!it changed my life.i lost ten pounds and its something i really enjoy.i m glad there are other people loving it in my age❤❤❤
Brad's horn wins! I'm thinking it's legitimately from turn of 20th century. A vehicle mounted horn for a Model A or T. I'm no expert but nearly certain it's a vehicle horn.
Great video. Thank you.
Where do you store all that stuff? Wow, it's so much.
Thank you! My sister and I just took our 1st of 4 private classes. She's 68, and I'm 72. We hope we can catch on.
No on the potty chair, save you money for something better!
I’m in Jackson, Tennessee, we have several nice Antique Malls and some thrift stores in the area. Years ago the Town of Hazel, KY was a great place to visit for antiques, it’s located just a short distance from Paris, TN!!!
Yes Jackson TN has many wonderful antique stores
Awesome job for both your finds, but the horn is the winner
And how is it different than odorless mineral spirits
How long has that wax been on there? I'm looking to remove ten year old wax
I have never had the "powder problem " with krylon until now that I am using this fusion stuff. No matter how I spray it, it still ends up with patchy areas. I am repainting a piece that I built years ago with krylon, it worked perfectly then. I will try some 400 grit. Thanks
Thankyou so much for this video! The tips helped me so much to stage my upcycled furniture. Styling and accessories really do help with negative space.
Im in thw hole lol
Loved your booth! Nice to see they provided a big tent for vendors. Also your prices seemed cheap but I’m from Chicago and maybe things sell for less where you are - $100 for that amazing blue cabinet?!?!?! I would have bought that instantly!!! Congrats and TFS!!❤❤❤
Where do you purchase your faux plants?
Hi there! I can’t open the link for the wholesale companies. Is there another link you could send me? Thanks!
Thanks so much. Great to get advice from a professional.
I love the curtain on the back wall of the first booth. I am curious how they hung art with it. Any insight would be appreciated!
I'm also that crazy lady that has a lot of china. Not only is it beautiful, but since we rarely eat out, it's nice to change dishes.
well done, nice job and a wonderful table find. this is not a new concept as almost all furniture was finished this way in the 70s and 80s
Well you were in my hometown at Dee’s. 😊 And yes, it’s “counts” Counce.
Hey Melanie! I am sharing this video in my July Unboxing post! You are such an inspiration!
Excellent video!!! I am a 68 y/o/f , and have been rowing for several years, but wanted to get stronger to help my rowing times. I started out doing CF just weekly beginning last year, but increased to 3/week June 3, 2024. What a difference that has made. I love your video, and truly believe that it would have given me a lot of inspiration as I started this journey. I share a lot of your perspective as a newbie in CF, especially about being a REAL person, and not a gym rat when I started. My Coach is TOTALLY AWESOME and SUPER SUPPORTIVE, so I hope others take your advise and find a gym and coach that you feel totally comfortable with and give it some time. I wish you and your husband all the best! Will have to check out your other videos as well.
