Today we have an extra special At Home With feature for you guys—from our very own Jacki Moseley. All you avid ABM readers probably already know Jacki as she is our Community Engagement Manager, meaning she’s the sweet gal behind the Instagram, support emails, and blog comments. Jacki does SO many things at ABM that I think the whole thing would stop working without her (I’m not joking—really, she keeps the machine moving). She also has a passion for vintage, as you can tell from her Etsy shop The Paisley Suitcase. Her house is insanely adorable with too many cute details to count. So we were so, so pleased when she agreed to share her space with our ABM community.

“Totally blushing right now, Emma. I’m SO excited to share my home with you guys today. I’ll start with a little background info. My uncle bought this amazing late 1920s home a few years ago, and I’ve been renting it from him ever since. I was pretty content in my 700 square ft. apartment, but I mean… hello! Instant upgrade. I love everything vintage and old architecture makes me super happy. So this place has been an absolute dream to live in and decorate.
“I love decorating with a lot of color so everything really stands out against the white walls. The teal couch was Elsie’s, and it’s by far my favorite thing in this room. I had a yellow couch before this and had WAY too much gold and brown in here. I felt really inspired to add even more colorful decor and redecorate after I replaced the couch. Sometimes that’s all it takes to get in the mood to redo things!
Engineer print/Staples, Vase/Target, Table/Hobby Lobby.
“If you know me, then it’s pretty obvious that I’m 100% in love with my dog, Kingston. And when people know that, you receive a lot of Boston terrier gifts. I love this old book, and it’s the perfect centerpiece for my coffee table. Just a note on that. I’m not the craftiest person in the world, but a can of spray paint can do wonders. 🙂 I painted the wooden legs yellow, and I love how it looks with the couch.
“A common theme in my home is having keepsakes from my family around. My grandma has given me a lot of hand-me-downs over the years, like the cool wicker chair in the living room. The engineer print is an old photo of my other grandma (bottom right) and her friends. It’s by far my favorite photo, and I love seeing it on the wall everyday. My family has owned an office supply store in downtown Springfield for over 70 years. I have a lot of little memories from it, like my great-grandfather’s business card and other items from the original location.
Rug/Amazon.
“I kept the decor pretty minimal in this room, but I love how the blue rug and bright white hutch are the main focus. It has an original flour sifter inside and it’s perfect for storage. The printer’s drawer was my grandma’s. I used to play with the little trinkets when I was a kid! It’s really fun to add to the collection when I come across them at the flea market.
Tassel garland/Love Garlands on Etsy, Fireplace screen/Amazon (painted).
“I love that I can display my favorite glassware and knick knacks in the kitchen display cabinet. I found the bar cart at my favorite flea market. The colored aluminum shot glass and shaker set is the best!
Hand towels/Amazon.
“The house is very close to its original form, but the bathroom has been renovated since I moved in. My uncle has amazing taste, and I couldn’t be happier with how this room turned out. We removed the bathtub and put in a walk-in shower, chose black and white subway tile all around, and penny tile for the floors. It really fits with the era of the home. The old medicine cabinet (found it on eBay) is great for bathroom storage and my old perfume bottle collection.
Planter/Lowes.
“I kept my bedroom pretty simple, focusing on white and airy elements. I chose mint and peach as the main colors for this room based on a photo I took of the Loveless Cafe sign in Nashville. This cart was an estate sale find, and I couldn’t imagine a better spot for my mom’s old Dr. Seuss books.
Mirror set/All Modern, Comforter and Rug/Amazon, Pillows/Target.
Paper lanterns, crystal drawer pulls/Amazon.
“Little details like this make my heart so happy. I’m still pinching myself over this home tour, so thanks so much for reading! And a special thanks to Janae Hardy for making me fall in love with this home all over again.”

So cute, Jacki!! Thanks for sharing!

The whole house is so cute, but I LOVE the black and white bathroom! You mention finding things at your favorite flea market, what are your favorite flea markets?
Thanks Ana! Urban Market is my favorite one, but I also love Vendor’s Mart if I’m in the mood to dig around a little. 🙂
Lovely! My favorite part is that a lot of the vintage items have sentimental value. That makes them even better! <3
What a lovely home with so many cute details! Such a bright and happy space!
I love the homey feels with all your family treasures! Very lovely home. I was wondering where you bought your white table with your better homes and gardens book on it? I have been looking for a simple table like it for sometime…
Hi Kait! Thank you! I actually found that one at a flea market and painted it white. I hope you find something similar!
That couch is EVERYTHING. What a great color.
Shucks! Well it is a lovely find 😉
Yes! Love the blue couch! Can you tell me where it’s from? I know you mention it was Elsie’s…..
It’s vintage 🙂
Such a pretty eclectic decor! I wish I had an opportunity to live in such a gorgeous 1920s building – definitely so many cool ways to decorate it. I love that blue sofa! Has so much character.

I love that sofa http://www.hannamarielei.com
Lovely decoration.
I favorited your Etsy shop, but I think you may need to experience “the magic of tidying up around your house” so I can get some of that good stuff posted up on ETsy! Just kidding, I am sure it all bring joy to you – so darn cute!
Lovely House <3 i really like how you have all this beautiful vintage things around!
I love your home. My favorite is the poster with your Grandma and her friends. Now I need the backstory, Did she stay friends with any of the ladies and more questions.
Thank you for sharing this valuable information. I will use these home decor tips in my apartments.
Jacki! I ADORE your entire home and every single vintage detail. Love how the colours pop against all the white. I suddenly feel the need to replace my vintage rust sofa with a blue/teal/turquoise one ASAP! Thank you so much for sharing! Nice to get more a glimpse at your style.
Haha. Thanks Dawn! 🙂
Hi Pat! I have quite a few photos of her with her girlfriends at the time and I wish I knew the answer to that too! Love those old photos. 🙂
Thanks so much, Catherine! <3
Love it! Where did you get the leave above the bed?
Hi Gretchen! I found that at Pier 1 several years ago. I think they still have some similar ones. 🙂 -Jacki
So lovely and eclectic!
I see the living room picture was trimmed so we don’t see the rug. Good stuff! I never think about color themes. Also you’re probably wishing there was still a tub. You have nice treasures and a steady use of exclamation points!
