Hi, I’m Abby! I’m the creator behind Belle Antiquarian, where I share timeless inspiration for your home and lifestyle. I live in a 1930s Colonial Revival home, and you’ll often find me in the garden growing flowers and veggies, or hunting for antiques and unique finds. I’m a mom, an empty-nester, and a dog lover who enjoys blending traditional style with affordable pieces that feel collected and classic.

Here you’ll see content about vintage-inspired home décor, gardening, seasonal styling, and everyday ideas that make a house feel like home. My personal style leans traditional and timeless, with an appreciation for quality, patina, and stories behind the pieces we live with.

If you love antiques, curated décor, or just want inspiration for creating a beautiful home, you’re in the right place.

🌿 Follow along for antique styling ideas, home decorating tips, seasonal inspiration, and timeless pieces you can shop directly through my LTK.

I’m wearing a small in the Lands End floral top with lace cuffs.. The Gap curvy stride jeans run long; I’m wearing a 27 petite. I got an XS in the belt, which fits sizes 2-4.

Several of the Lands End pieces that I ordered came in, and I wanted to show you what they looked like on. I’m wearing this floral shirt with a beautiful lace cuff detail, and I paired it with a 100% leather braided belt and a pair of wide leg jeans that I got from the Gap. I’m also showing this 100% cotton Christmas sweater with the cutest ruffle detail around the neck. I’m 5'4 and I’m wearing a small in the tops and in the jeans I ordered my normal size 27, but I got a size petite because reviews said that they ran long. They hit right at the top of my shoe.

There’s something special about old Southern cookbooks; the ones with butter-stained pages and recipes shared by name.

I recently found The Deep South Cookbook by Southern Living, published in 1976, while thrifting. Inside was a recipe called Harvest Sweet Potato Pie, submitted by Mrs. Shirley Wise of Richmond, Virginia.

It’s simple, comforting, and just right for a Southern holiday table (the kind of dessert that feels like home).

Comment PIE for the full article with the complete recipe, plus a bonus link to everything I used to make and serve this pie.

I recently purchased these waterproof flameless candles for my outdoor lanterns. They come with a remote control and can be set on a timer. We live in a small town right near the schools, so I set the timers to turn the candles on while the kids are in school traffic. A neighbor recently walked by and said how much her little boy loves seeing them in the morning!

You asked! Here are my outfit details. This is a vintage Ralph Lauren blue label jacket made of cotton canvas and leather. I found 3 online! I’m linking my other outfit details: gingham shirt, corduroy pants, shoes, and necklace.

A Historic Bathroom, Refreshed

This bathroom still has its original 1939 tile and fixtures, a rare treasure that deserves to shine. Instead of replacing those elements, I layered in a few thoughtful updates to bring warmth and livability.
•a teak table for everyday function,
•a relaxed Roman shade,
•artwork with timeless charm,
•and a touch of greenery and accessories.

The result is a space that feels both historic and current. Proof that you don’t have to choose between preservation and comfort.

Whether you’re caring for a historic home, buying one, or simply looking for inspiration, updates like these show how honoring the past can make your home even more beautiful today.

To see more photos, get my paint colors, or shop this look, comment 1939, and I’ll send it to your DMs.

Would you keep the original tile?

What I wore to work today: this Walmart shirt dress has been a favorite wardrobe staple! I paired it with a Japanese style leather obi belt and a silk scarf. These wedge boots are a favorite as well! I’m 5’4, wearing a small.

Stopped by Walmart on my way home tonight and found so many beautiful new holiday pieces. 🎄 Most were between $4-$15, and they look so much more expensive than they are.

If you’re decorating early this year, these are the affordable Walmart holiday decor finds worth grabbing before they sell out. Shop my Walmart holiday decor favorites linked here on LTK.
