“There is a magic in that little world, home; it is a mystic circle that surrounds comforts and virtues never known beyond its hallowed limits.”
Our Story
Where It All Began
Welcome to The Vegel House!
I’m Nicole Vegel and I started this endeavor because I truly enjoy creating a beautiful home and figuring out how to make our old home best function for our growing family. A refinished old table, fresh linens, a new coat of paint, a good candle and some flowers are all staples of our house. Here you can shop my vintage finds, read about my latest interior inspiration, follow along on my home updates and other life musings. Wherever you stumbled from, I appreciate you visiting and you are most welcome here!
Where do you live?
Currently, I live in Iowa with my husband and our two daughters. I grew up in Minnesota and have moved all over for work, school and family endeavors. My heart is ultimately in the Midwest but I have found familiarity in the four walls of our home no matter where we are.
Do You Own Your Home?
We just bought our first home. With this has come a whole host of surprises and ideas. There is so much work to be done because no matter how ‘finished’ our home feels, something new always comes up. Our home is a historic Moffitt house and was initially designed for renters back in the 1940s. It is quirky, small and built with the resources available at the time. While we love our current home, it won’t be the home we live in forever. Since we have rented all our living spaces so far, I have honed in on temporary and manageable changes to make it feel like ours without breaking the bank.
