People often ask us how Farmhouse 180 got started.
The funny thing is... it all began because I wanted a red plaid thermos for my Christmas decorating.
Sean and I have always loved wandering thrift stores, flea markets, auctions, and garage sales. Finding that thermos turned into looking for an old scale... then a basket... then an ironstone pitcher.
We live in my grandparents' farmhouse, and over the years we made it our goal to slowly replace reproduction décor with authentic vintage pieces. Every item we brought home had a story, a history, and a feeling you just can't buy new.
As we replaced things, we'd sell what we no longer needed at our garage sales. People really loved what we had to offer. So we tried flea markets, then holiday shows, and for years we kept hearing the same question:
"Do you have a booth?"
The timing never seemed right. We both work, waiting lists were long, and we weren't sure it was something we wanted to take on.
Then one random Saturday changed everything.
We walked into Madison Trading Post, saw an empty booth, talked to the owner, and signed the paperwork that day. We went home, tagged over 250 pieces that evening, and the very next day Farmhouse 180 officially opened its doors.
Looking back, it's hard to believe how one little Christmas decorating idea led us here.
I'm Joy, this is Sean, and together we're Farmhouse 180.
We believe everyone deserves a home filled with pieces they love without spending a fortune. But even more than that, we love helping people find something that reminds them of Grandma's kitchen, Grandpa's workshop, or a home they haven't thought about in years. We love being able to save pieces otherwise forgotten and giving inspiration on how to style them in your home or using them in different ways.
The conversations, the stories, the friendships we've made... those have become our favorite part of this adventure.
Thank you for supporting our little dream, stopping by the booth, following along, and cheering us on. We truly appreciate every one of you.
We're just getting started, and we can't wait to see where this road takes us. ❤️
