I have always had a love of vintage and antiques. My grandmother's house is filled with them and I love walking through her house and checking out all of the amazing things she has collected over the years and the stories that they tell. I used to ask her every visit to look at the Victorian photo album that held our family's treasured photos, always in awe of the fashions of past eras and the resemblances that certain family members had to great uncles or great, great grandparents.

When my husband and I married, he was in the Marine Corps. I remember watching friends struggle with acquiring and keeping jobs during their transitions and I thought to myself that I needed to be my own boss. I need a business that I could take with me no matter where we were headed. That's when I decided to combine my love of vintage and my desire of being an entrepreneur. The Bonny Bungalow doesn't even feel like work. It is so much fun hunting and searching for amazing pieces to put in my shop (plus the few here and there that I can't seem to let go of). Each item has a story to tell and the best part of this adventure is hearing the customers' stories of how they have been searching for a particular item and what it means to them.
