Living on the Bliss, Southern Pines, NC

We opened our amazing little vintage store on W Pennsylvania downtown Southern Pines, NC in September 2012.  Cassie & I started the store together with our love for junking & painting vintage pieces.  We started adding things to the store that we loved and wanted to shop for.  Whola it was working!!

One sunny cold blustery day in January we walked to get a coffee.    As we walked down Broad St. we notice a sign in a store that said “Going Out Of Business”.  The rest is history.    Here we go….

Yeehaw, we now have an amazing store 168 W Broad St, downtown Southern Pines, NC.    We have been adding all the things we only “Dreamed” of doing.  If you’ve been in our new location you know that we are “Forever Changing” and will always be adding new and exciting things to the store.

Here’s a few…  Come see us…

Boot up!!   We have Tony Lama & Lucchese Western Boots for Ladies… Men’s may be coming in the fall.

Dresses, we love Chevron!!!   Who doesn’t love a Chevron shirt or dress right?

 Here are a few of our before and after pictures…

We bought this sign and it became our store sign at our original location on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Our sweet Audrey Hepburn inspired piece.  One of our favorites.

Pickers Grunge to Vintage Bliss

This sweet dresser turned out so amazing.  It was always under our Audrey Hepburn art which seemed to be our inspiration when we created the repaint of the dresser.  One of our favorite people bought this and has it in her home.

Pickers Grunge to Vintage Bliss

Seems like we have a lot of favorites.  We get attached to most of the vintage pieces we bring into the store.  Sometimes it’s hard to let them go.

We will be sharing more of our Vintage World…

Here’s the after…  This picture does not do this stunning piece justice.  Cassie is the genius painter!

“Our Izzy Piece”

Izzy Pallooza II, vintage furniture

In memory of Izzy we painted angel wings and Izzy’s name inside the door so when you’re looking in the front you can see it.

 Here you can see the beautiful lines and details of this stunning vintage piece…

We changed the hardware to a purple glass pull.  Purple was Izzy’s favorite color and is the signature color of the Izzy Palooza and other Izzy Foundation events.

What an amazing piece of furniture that will be enjoyed for years to come.
