Pet Proof Carpet

This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. Lately, it seems we’ve been making lots of fun updates to our home.  One room in particular has needed some attention… New carpet to be specific!  Our upstairs media room is a space I don’t share often, but ironically, it’s where we spend a lot of our time.  You know wherever we are, our lovable furry friends, Paisley and Angel are right there with us!  If you’ve been following along for a while, you’ve seen these two often! They both turn five this year and keep us plenty busy with their constant… Read More

Adding Character with Patterned Tiles

Hi friends!  Goodness… What a whirlwind these last few weeks have been!  Most of April was spent designing the updated spaces in our guest bath and laundry rooms.  Adding character with patterned tiles is something I’ve always wanted to do in these rooms, so when the opportunity to partner with Riad Tile was presented, I knew it would be a perfect fit! I thought it would be fun to start with a little back story regarding these rooms.  Two years ago, when we were picking out the interior details for our home, we quickly discovered we were limited on flooring… Read More

Our Neutral Living Room Furniture

Hey friends! If you’ve been patiently waiting for the details of our neutral living room furniture, today’s your lucky day! We absolutely love the transformation our living room has made with these beautiful couches from England Furniture! They arrived right before Christmas; just in time for entertaining our family for the holidays! We had a packed house with 13 people and there was enough seating for everyone… The first time that has happened in our home! We went from having a 6.5 foot dark leather couch that provided minimal seating, to seating up to 6-8 people comfortably with a couch… Read More

The Benefits of Having a Barn Door in Your Home

Hi friends! I wanted to talk to you about a project I worked on late last year that has made a huge impact in our home!

In this post, I’m going to share the benefits of having a barn door in your home! So, if you’ve been considering one and need an experienced barn door company, keep reading! First of all, the staff at Artisan Hardware… Read More

The Reveal of Tyler’s Big Boy Room

Ever since we moved in last fall, I’ve wanted to give our son more of a grown-up space.  In our previous home, he had a full size conversion crib that was passed down from his sister.  I remember him telling me that even though he had a big boy bed, his room felt baby-ish.  There was no denying it, his bed still resembled a crib!  Luckily, his mom had a plan!  Earlier this year, I created and built my sweet 8 year old a more masculine rustic headboard that he can enjoy for years to come!  He tells me all… Read More

About Alicia

Alicia of Our Vintage Nest

My name is Alicia Armstrong; thank you for being here!
Ever since I can remember, I've been exposed to interior decorating. Watching my mom decorate and antique shop is a vivid childhood memory. Since starting this blog in 2016, my taste in decor has evolved to a more refined style. I've never leaned toward trendy, but more of a classic and timeless style. I enjoy shopping my home and changing things up to update a space. I love working on relatively simple projects and seeing a piece of furniture or room transform on a small budget. We purchased a new home four years ago and while there's nothing that needs to be renovated, I'm constantly finding something to enhance. I've painted several rooms, added shiplap, designed built-ins for a homework station and updated builder grade tile since moving here in 2016.
I've been married to my husband, Chris for 20 years. He works as an IT engineer for a small business. We have two children and reside in NW Arkansas. We are a Christian family who desires to live a life with Christ at the center. We have two animals, a Golden Retriever, Paisley and a blue point Ragdoll, Angel. They definitely complete our family and bring us a lot of joy!
I'm happy you've found Our Vintage Nest, where I share inspiration for all things home. I hope to inspire you to love your home, re-purpose what you have through simple DIY and learn some practical design tips along the way.
