Tuesday Tip: Spring Refresh

March 12, 2019 Kallie Schuchart

Spring Break is in full-swing, and we have just the trick to spruce up your home for springtime! Get your spring cleaning done early, and come down to The NAT for your spring decor necessities.

Take A Seat

Find a great vintage bench to add some additional seating to your patio!

Shutters

Vintage shutters could be the perfect addition to your front porch!

McCoy

Vintage McCoy planters come in all shapes and sizes. Find a great spring color and re-pot your favorite cactus.

Potting Station

Antique furniture pieces can make a great new potting station on your patio! Mix, match, and build your way to a great new work area.

Rugs

Vintage rugs are a great way to brighten up your space. They give your space a fresh new look without having to re-furnish your current space!

Repurpose, Reuse, and Refills

Repurposing is the name of the game when you shop for antiques. If you’re looking for an outdoor bar to add to your patio, a vintage secretary might be the perfect fit.

We hope to see you on Route 66! We can’t wait to help you spruce up your home for springtime!
