Vintage Decor: Idlewild is a metaphor for a state of calm, quiet, or inactivity. It is the feeling of leisure or a moment in time when there is nothing you need to do. Put simply, it is symbolic of the emotion you feel on vacation or holiday.
Vintage Decor: Who is Patrick Thomas Vintage?
At Patrick Thomas Vintage (PT Vintage), our vision is to help designers and homeowners create their feeling of Idlewild with vintage decor in their homes. Your home should be your personal oasis.our everyday getaway. Your safe haven. Your sanctuary.
Our brand was founded from a love of antique and vintage design, embracing the warmth and calming nature that unique, eclectic pieces bring to a home.
Some of our earliest memories as children are going to auctions, antique stores, and flea markets to hunt for treasures with our families.
Treasure hunting remained a passion into adulthood when we began to fill our own homes with furniture, art, and other functional items repurposed into home decor. As long-time horse owners and artists, we are specifically inspired by bringing original artwork and unique equestrian items into interior design.
While PT Vintage launched as our passion project, our corporate careers in marketing and technology provided the business acumen to grow PT Vintage into an e-commerce store with a global footprint, sourcing items from the Americas, Europe, and beyond and shipping to customers nationwide.
Our Core Values:
PT Vintage aligns to four main pillars to drive our business forward:
Originality & Craftsmanship. We bring quality original vintage decor items to our customers. We strive to fill our gallery with original art and age-old pieces filled with character and patina.
Premium Service. We strive to bring best-in-class service to our customers, from clear communication at every step of the purchase process to fast, careful shipping.
Customer Experience. We want our shop (and more importantly, your home) to feel like an experience with selective vintage decor. We want you to have an easy, pleasurable shopping experience and to feel excited about bringing eclectic items into your home.
Thought Leadership & Collaboration. Our shop is committed to infusing vintage decor and antique designs into timeless and modern design trends. We are inspired by and partner with interior designers to bring design projects to life with unique vintage decor and original pieces.
Write Your Story
We believe that each vintage decor piece tells a story, through its individuality and as it is woven into the story you create with your home aesthetic. The patina, worn paint, rust, and distressing on many vintage decor and antique pieces come from age and rich history, bringing about warmth, charm, and character. Find the pieces of vintage decor that align and connect to you and write a story about the life you live through the home and space you build.
