History behind Hobnail Home

I have been interested in antiques since my mom started letting me go with her when I was a young girl, growing up in the historic town of Traverse City. She also taught me how to refurbish my first piece of furniture when I was eleven years old. Together, on the side patio of our home, which by-the-way was an antique as well (built in 1890) she meticulously refinished an oak library table, while I worked on scraping three coats of paint off a small, spoon carved, birdseye maple chest of drawers or commonly referred to as a "commode".  I remember being in awe at how something could go from trash to treasure and have even passed this interest on to my own daughter. It's a cherished memory and like an old friend, I still have that commode with me to this day. 

In regards to the name "Hobnail Home," there are several reasons for this choice. Primarily, because it's look defines my diverse style, mixing traditional, industrial, farm primitive and modern. Hobnail glass itself is classic and timeless which is versatile and lends itself to any interior setting. Secondly, it's a homage to my mother who collected milk glass and I myself actually collect "hobnail" milk glass.
