For Sale~ Teal Coat Rack

 $95
SOLD

Dimensions: 

So one of my BFFs has been looking for a coat rack for months.  After searching for months, I found her THE perfect coat rack a few weeks ago.  This got me thinking... don't all homes deserve a good coat rack?  So when I saw this one, I knew it had to come home with me.  It was in need of some serious TLC & a good Annie Sloan paint job, but now we're in business.  The pictures don't quite do it justice, but it's the perfect teal color in person. 

I'm fairly confident it won't last long... & by now, you may know the drill...

For Sale~ Bamboo Plant Stand

$16

Dimensions: 

Great bamboo plant stand.  Looks great to fill space in a room or simply on the side of a sofa.  I couldn't bring myself to paint over the burnt bamboo look, but it would look cute with a bright high-gloss color as well.

For Sale~ Gypsy Camel Needlepoint



Another shot below where I stacked Clarence on my mantle with some art & the gold patina mirror
$30


Ok, this is the "gypiest" post yet & I love it!  Meet Clarence the Camel.  I currently have him layered on my nightstand, but he'd fit in just about anywhere!  Funky, bright colors & a happy, clean frame make this guy a real hit!

Who doesn't love blue & white??!  To be completely honest, I have a full-on obsession.  This great little one is only $9 and looks fabulous anywhere.  Living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, you name it.  Will be posting more pieces like this soon.  Let me know if you're looking for something specific.

For Sale~ Patio / Garden Furniture

 Awesome chair detail below:
$250

2 wrought iron chairs & a round table with glass top.  Both table and chairs fold up flat which is great for storage purposes.  The chairs have a slight curve in them which make them comfortable & not stiff.  Perfect for a side patio, screened-in porch, or garden area.  Some prosecco, a good convo, and this furniture... lovely!  This is a steal on patio/garden furniture that will last forever & is in mint condition!

For Sale~ Small Patina Gold Mirror

$35
HOLD

Dimensions: 10" X 14"

I envision layering this mirror on an entry table or dresser with another larger mirror or artwork.  It would also be cute in a small bathroom space.  It has a hook in the back in case you want to hang it.

For Sale~ Blue & White Ceramic Plate

$40

Ignore my ugly plate holder.  I couldn't find my clear acrylic one!  You can't tell from the photo, but this plate actually has pretty good depth to it & could be used to hold keys, sunglasses, etc., near the front door.  Equally as pretty on display!

For Sale~ Asian-Inspired Patina Brass Tray

This photo doesn't do it justice.  Great edging & Asian-inspired etching on the main part of the tray.  This would be a great catch-all for remotes, etc. in a den or for jewelry, etc. on a nightstand.

Welcome!

Hey, y'all!  Welcome to The Preppy Gypsy!

Here you'll find pretty & fun, vintage, antique, & upcycled items from my hunting & picking.  The idea for this blog shop was born out of a trend I've noticed~ there is a lack of unique, nice quality (but reasonably priced) home items for young professionals.  This is my happy place & creative outlet to provide that!  


The way this blog shop works is simple:  I post an item.  If you want to purchase it, email me at the[dot]preppy[dot]gypsy[at]gmail[dot]com.  I sell items on a first-to-email basis, so act fast if you see something you'd like.  I am based out of Durham/Chapel Hill, NC & will arrange a time for you to pay & pick-up.  I also make frequent visits to Charlotte & can bring items to you there if needed.  If you're not local & interested in having an item shipped to you, email me & I'd be happy to see what I can do. 

You'll notice I have a particular affinity for pretty furniture lines, pops of color, Old North State items, patina brass decor, nautilus shells, & ginger jars.  Have something in mind that you haven't seen me post?  Email me and I'll add to to my list of things to look for while on the hunt!


Here a preview of a few fab items that will be going live ASAP... will be posting full details & prices soon.  Stay tuned & come back soon!
