Decorating with Vintage Trophies

I love vintage trophies. I love their patina. I love their shapes. I love their engravings. I don't love their price tags. So I don't actually own any vintage trophies. But I do have a vintage champagne bucket that that serves as a great substitute.

I got it at a thrift store for less than $10.00. It was even red-marked down if I remember correctly. I couldn't believe it! I mean, how did this beauty manage to stay on the shelf?

I love filling mine with hydrangeas from the yard.

Or lovely spring bouquets like this one. 

I also scored a small double-handled silver cup a few years ago that I love to use in vignettes around the house. It goes great with vintage books.

And it made the cut for my recent dining room cabinet reveal.

But vintage trophies can be used for so much more.

Try using one in the kitchen to corral utensils.

Or filled with pumpkins and feathers for fall décor like these at Must Love Junk.

Boxwood balls look beautiful in this equestrian vignette from

I'm not yet sure where I'm going to put my vintage "trophy." But you can see some of the ideas I've collected on my Trophies Pinterest Board. Which idea do you like best?

Well, that's it until next time, friends!
