A Wallet For Every Dad.

The Minimalist:

Slim, wood business card holder, from Your Nest Inspired.




















The Jock:

Recycled, vinyl tennis wallet, from Mitten Maker.

























The Techie/Geek:

Carbon fiber, velcro wallet, from Ragged Edge Gear.




















The Hipster:

Custom bicycle wallet, from In Blue.




















You've seen your dad's wallet. It's that bulbous, faded, hunk of leather exploding from his back pants pocket. It's crammed with receipts, business cards and photos. Yet, somehow, it's completely void of the one thing that wallets are essentially built for: cash.

And since your dad has no cash to his name, a painful filing system in his back pocket, and an increasingly crooked spine, he desperately needs you to buy him a new wallet. Trust us--his butt, back and budget will thank you.

For The DIY Dad.

Floating "book" shelf, from Little Fish Furniture.




















A "repair" so simple, even dad can handle it...In fact, we think this would make a wonderful Father's Day gift for the DIY dad in your life--even if he technically can't do anything by himself.

Find this shelf, and other "floating" bookshelves, in Little Fish Furniture's Etsy shop.

Gifts For The Industrial Dad.

Vintage stool, from VintageSeventyFive.























Vintage radio dial belt drawer, $39.



















Vintage gas station number, $24.























Vintage cast iron train, from VintageSeventyFive.





















Let's just go ahead and admit it, we have absolutely no idea what our dad really likes. Sure, he graciously accepts the generic tie or dress shirt. And he smiles with glee whenever bags of pistachios are presented (surely this isn't just my dad, right?). But we think the dads of this world deserve something uniquely special this year, wouldn't you agree?

And we've found just the thing--vintage! More specifically, industrial vintage from VintageSeventyFive's Etsy shop. And by the way, we absolutely love this shop! Honestly, what's not to love about these potential Father's Day gems: vintage scales, numbers, trophies, storage containers, and one of our personal faves, vintage cash register flags.

Do yourself (and your dad) a favor and pay a visit to VintageSeventyFive. It's time to end the generic gift-giving cycle. Trust us, your dad will thank you!

Theme Of The Week: Spring Cleaning.

Spring cleaning is more than a yearly dusting of the blinds or the recycling of old magazines, it's a chance to redesign not only your space, but your life.

We start with one of my favorite Etsy shops, Old New Again. They make new look old and then new again, if you catch my drift.

This week, we'll be spotlighting our favorite "Spring Cleaning" finds to help you get your space (and life) in order:  organizational/storage solutions, design upgrades, artwork makeovers, vintage renewal and more! So go get started on that closet of yours--just be sure to drop by this week and check us out. Have a great week!
