House Tour: Vintage Vignettes

Flea-market finds and collections from France blend on an online shop owner’s Illinois home.

Embrace salvage

In the serene blue master bedroom, a drawer adds magazine and book storage under the nightstand, and an old window stands in for art.

"Embrace architectural salvage," says Tracey. "Old windows, shutters, cornice pieces and clock faces are a few of my favorites. They add a lot of interest to a room, and it's usually easy to find them with their original patina. When living with vintage, I'm careful. If a piece has old, chipping paint—especially if it's going in a child's room—I'll seal it with polyurethane."
