Out Of The Blue Antiques

Friends! Neighbors! Crafty Artisans! It's official....

The Project Room has been a total hit this summer and we have been thrilled to reuse all these great vintage materials into one of a kind projects! We're just getting started and we're eager to keep it interesting all fall and winter long.

Here's the BIG QUESTION???? Do you have a final piece that you'd like to share that utilizes an item from the Project Room at the last Livingston Art Walk on Friday, September 27th? A collage, textile, furniture piece, etc etc???? If there's enough interest we'd love to have a little exhibit.

Show of hands 🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌?? Yay or Nay in the comments! If enough yays have it, we'll start taking photo submissions.

Some days, the conditions are just right to build an unexpected tribute to Liberace 😂

When the "new" iridescent glass lamps are ginornous and topped with flocked velvet shades and the old vintage stock glassware is stamped with daisies, you must go BIG.

We're getting the place spiffed up for this Friday's Art Walk, and there are some really great pieces we can't wait to debut.

Come see us! Open 7 days a week and adding fresh vintage and antique merchandise daily.

Fresh windows! Fresh weekend!

AND fresh items sprinkled throughout the shop, including a colorful 60's bedroom set (upholstered headboard and chair,) mid century glassware, vintage/antique artwork and lots more. Also, a fresh drop!

Come see us! ✨✨✨

Amazing item alert 👀

This Victorian era metamorphic bakers rack was one of the special pieces we were able to purchase from Sax and Fryer after they closed their doors.

Incorporate a little piece of Livingston history into your home ✨

Doesn't get much more perfect than this ✨

Introducing our "new" Western accessories spokesmodels- yet unnamed.

We were honored to be welcomed into the basement of Sax and Fryer to purchase a few odds and ends that were in storage. These two were an obvious fit for Out of the Blue. They will be showcasing featured Western accessories through the summer season. We are very happy to keep a tiny piece of the Sax and Fryer story and collection on our walls. We will never forget the mark this remarkable business had on our town!

We will be sure to announce any other Sax and Fryer goodies for sale when they hit the shop floors 📣

Jewelry case alert!

We've been stashing and hoarding new pieces all winter long and we're debuting fresh pieces weekly as the summer season kicks off.

This unusual lapis and silver squash blossom is fresh on the scene. Come test drive her for yourself! Open 7 days a week, rain or shine 🌧️ ☀️

Friends! Neighbors! Crafty travelers!

It's official....the back Project Room is ready for your perusal. The mission of this room is aligned with Out of the Blue's great intention to honor old and interesting items by refinishing and repurposing them. Over our 10 years in business we have accumulated an unbelievable collection of odds and ends. This is the moment for them to go back out into the world and be reborn.

Items in the Project Room include but are def. not limited to: vintage fabric and trim, old photos and magazines for collage etc, vintage picture frames, surplus lighting at great prices, HALF OFF General Finishes milk paint and stain, interesting accent chairs, tables that need a touch of TLC, rusty metal implements, architectural salvage and SO much more.

Get inspired, get creative and reduce the amount of stuff entering the waste stream. We're here for it ! ⚡⚡⚡⚡

In this line of work, you sometimes come across an old photo that really speaks to you.

Meet David De Lashmutt, gunners mate 1st class 1945.
This mini work of art is coming home with me!

Customer model appreciation post! Thank you for helping us make our stuff look amazing! Who's up next? We have a fresh selection of jewelry and accessories in the shop for you to test drive.

UPDATE: our revamped Back Room store will be opening NEXT WEEK. Stay tuned for an announcement here.

Open seven days a week with an ever rotation selection of magical objects, furniture and vintage clothing! ⚡⚡⚡⚡

Some people who enter the store set the style bar a few notches higher. Case in point, Brynn and her dog Cookie. Not many people can incorporate a 1930's/40's train conductor cap seamlessly into their look. Brynn can!

REMINDER! We will be closed Wednesday April 24th and Thursday April 25th for a shop makeover. Visit us this weekend to see what we've whipped up.

Flutter they did, when this incredible framed series of hand colored photos of a contortionist girl came in. This item was sourced at a Pony, MT estate auction and it is stamped "Linfield Photos '30" on the mat. It is 28.5" x 9.5 "

We LOVE her ✨✨✨

When you're 13 years old and your vintage obsession started at age 5. This lovely young lady is going to have a killer vintage collection in no time (this one went home with her.) It was so fun playing dress up with you Zoe!

AFTER/ BEFORE

Dressing up the entryway with a pretty St.Patty's day ready dress and heirloom quality furniture.

This French Biedermeier table with a pink marble top came from a house in the valley that had an American diplomat in the family. They shipped multiple large antiques overseas in a shipping crate many decades ago. Lucky for us, many pieces made it here.

The sun is shining (right now :) !!! Come see us 🌞
