I’m so glad Lex @ladiesoftheloon asked me to take a pic in this incredible VTG mohair sweater I got from her. It’s been so heavy and unsettling and, that 30 min escape into creativity was a nice escape. The protest today was incredible. Keep on keepin on MPLS ✊🏼 • • • • • VTG Neon Coral Mohair Turtleneck from @ladiesoftheloon VTG Rick Owens pleated skirt from Rose Bowl Flea VTG Navajo Malachite Ring @arcsvaluevillage VTG Combat Boots @arcsvaluevillage VTG Ferrari Hat @bleuboyvintage Glasses @caddis_life #fashion #maximalist #stylish #interior #vintage

2025 was a wild ride. It wasn’t all terrible. I met some incredible people and my garden was extra lovely. Started redoing the house just for me and as this year makes an exit, all signs point that I’m on the right path for 2026. Thanks for the love, support and for just being you. Here’s to more new paths, new people and new to me vintage rescues. 🥂 Also, as per usual, you’ll find me near the fireplace staying home tonight. Just wanted to put on some true vintage and snap a pic. 😬👌🏼🩷 • • • #truevintage #style #design #interiordesign #fashion

Just in time for Christmas, we have a tour of Casey Fritz’s 1925 Tudor-style home in North Minneapolis. When you walk in to the home of @malibu_casey , you immediately feel enveloped in a sense of warmth and wonder. You’re greeted by the smell and sound of fire crackling in the fireplace. As you get closer, you can feel it too. Then you start to notice the glowing Christmas lights, and the fresh green boughs draped on the vintage chinoiserie, the stairway railing, and above the fireplace mantle. In the living room, a Christmas tree is laden with vintage tinsel, ornaments, and more Christmas lights. The vintage tinsel dates back to the 1940s and was inherited from Casey’s grandmother. The tinsel is made of a mix of lead and foil, which is why it feels heavy when you pick it up. It’s also why Casey can use it year after year. It’s a maximalist tree for sure, and it’s no wonder, when asked to describe his style, Casey says, “Maximalist for life.” In addition to working as a drag queen @malibu_casey , Casey sells vintage through his Instagram handle @bleuboyvintage . You can find Bleu Boy Vintage at pop-up markets around the Twin Cities, like the Dayton’s Holiday Market Downtownand the Twin Cities True Vintage Show.

Here’s the 7 year evolution of the dining room. I really loved the RL Tea Kettle Black but, the past year was dark and heavy and I needed a complete change. Turning 50 and my world flipping on end wasn’t what I had planned but, finishing off the year on my terms, in the home I love and in my new pink dining room. 🎀 • • • • #vintagedecor #art #design #interior #vintagetree #retrochristmas #vintagedecor #traditionalchristmas #antiquechristmas #vintageornaments #christmasdecor #christmasideas #christmastree #christmasornaments #shinybrite #cozychristmas #christmascottage #vintagechristmasdecor #maximalistchristmas #vintagechristmasdecorations #vintagechristmas #maximalist
