Introduction



         Hi! My name is Roslyn, I'm the one in the cream colored dress posing in front of a fake camera...  Oh, and the girl holding the film-less box, that's Jaclyn, my cousin/bff/business partner. We are two college students who  started a rental company in our parent's basement. Just kidding (about the basement)! We are from South Texas so people do not typically have basements here, so....we started the company in our parents formal living room. What kind of rentals you ask?  We specialize in vintage rentals, you know the stuff you would normally find in your grandma's house covered in plastic! As of now our collection consists mostly of  sofas, chairs, tables, suitcases, phones, other small accessories and a 1947 black Chevy truck. A lot of the pieces we find are from garage sales, estate sales, and even sometimes, if we get lucky, from an alley behind old neighborhoods. Most of the time we will revive the pieces, whether it be from painting the wood (cheapest), fixing the legs, or changing the fabric(expensive!). We try to take the D.I.Y. route as much as possible, but sometimes have to leave it to the professionals to get the job done. We are blessed we get to work with a lot of photographers who rent out our pieces as props for their photos, as well as with brides, who use the pieces to add decor to their wedding day. 
We love what we do and hope we get to have this little company for a long time, of course if it doesn't work out, we will have some awesome furniture to fight over!

xoxo,
It's Vintage Darling
