Vintage Rentals from found

By in Shindigs

Today on the beach, I found a piece of turned wood with cracking chipped paint. It is a spindle of sorts with gnarled ends that have been somewhat smoothed by the ocean. My friends think it may have been part of a bed. My money is on staircase banister. In any case, I love it. I’m searching for the perfect spot in my house to showcase it along with other objects I’ve found.

Jeni Maus (of Studio EMP and EMP Invites fame) is displaying her own collection of found objects these days with her newly opened vintage rental company: found. She scours flea markets, Craigslst, and her own secret sources to find fabulous pieces of vintage furniture and accessories. Her collection is now accessible to brides, party-throwers and anyone with a need for authentic, unique, and interesting objects. Whether for a photo shoot, wedding, or everyday event, her reupholstered chairs & couches, antique frames & objects, and unusual farm tables, folding chairs, tables, & accessories will give any event personality.

Jeni has impeccable style and lives for the “thrill of the hunt.” If she doesn’t already have what you need, she has resources to find it. She can chase down century-old church pews, mismatched centerpiece vessels, or create pillows from Hungarian grain sacks. She would be the first person I’d turn to if I wanted to find the hard-to-find.

I love her collection of vintage furniture and accessories so much, I might just have to throw a party to have an excuse to use some of her pieces. What do you think?
