The Vintage Vault is a celebration of the stories, objects, and everyday culture of the past.
Founded by Christopher Mulholland, The Vintage Vault grew out of a love for thrifting, collecting, and discovering the hidden history behind the things people once used every day. From colorful mid-century kitchens to the strange and fascinating gadgets of decades past, this project explores the vintage world through storytelling, research, and a little curiosity.
What started as a small mini-zine called Decades in 2022 has grown into a larger digital project dedicated to vintage lifestyle, collecting, and nostalgia. Through articles, videos, and guides, The Vintage Vault explores how people cooked, decorated, entertained, and lived in earlier generations.
Here you’ll find:
- Guides to identifying vintage kitchenware and collectibles
- Stories behind iconic brands like Fiestaware and Pyrex
- Vintage recipes and full “Dinner Through the Decades” menus
- Thrift store finds and collecting tips
- Historical calendars, birthdays, and even vintage horoscopes
At its heart, The Vintage Vault is about preserving the charm and craftsmanship of earlier eras while making vintage culture accessible to modern collectors and curious minds alike.
Because sometimes the most interesting stories aren’t found in museums — they’re sitting quietly on a thrift store shelf.
