Steampunk Bugs are the Latest Industrial Chic Hit

NORTH PORT – Vintage Finder’s Warehouse, #106, 1075 Innovation Ave, is offering a brand new line of Visit Your Local
steampunk “whatzits” – bugs made out of old batteries, watch faces, radio tubes and other fun bits of the industrial Antique Shops and
past. The bugs stand just a few inches high and are selling as fast as the Warehouse’s artisans can make them. take home a
The artisan also makes large bugs along with other “critters,” plus pieces such as chandeliers made from old fan Piece of History!
cages and other functional items for the home. All these pieces are entirely one of a kind.
Industrial and rustic chic continue to sell well at the Warehouse, which has a good supply of the ever-popular
factory carts in stock, along with reclaimed lumber for the DIYer. In addition, architectural salvage including doors,
windows and shutters are best sellers.
Chalk painting is another hit at the Warehouse, which uses and sells Dixie Belle paint, made in Florida. Classes
are quite popular as DIYers bring in their old brown furniture that they want to recycle into something more trendy.
At the same time, stencils and transfers of old-fashioned images are also popular for decorating these pieces.
The Warehouse has added a new Dixie Belle product to its stock, a product called Boss, which seals in odors for those pieces that just can’t be
cleaned well enough, and prevents bleed-through of old paint or wood grain. Boss dries clear in just a few minutes, making it the perfect base for
chalk painting.
Customers interested in learning how to paint, distress, decoupage and apply transfers should check the Painting at the Warehouse page on
Facebook for photos and class schedules.
The Warehouse’s new summer hours are Friday-Saturday, 9 AM-4 PM. Appointments at other times are encouraged, by calling (941) 423-9000.
