The Story Behind Cannon Home Goods: Where the Past Meets the Present

The Story Behind Cannon Home Goods: Where the Past Meets the Present

Welcome to Cannon Home Goods— a place where old things are given new life. We’re so excited to share this journey with you as we officially launch our website and bring our carefully curated collection of vintage and antique treasures into your home.

A Love for the Past, a Vision for the Future

Our journey with antiques started not as a business idea, but as a love affair with the past. There’s something about holding a piece of history in your hands, whether it’s a tarnished silver spoon, a well-worn chair, or a faded photograph. These objects tell stories, carry memories, and hold value that can’t be measured in dollars and cents. They have character. And that’s what drew us in.

At Cannon Home Goods, we’re not just about filling spaces with old things. We’re about finding pieces with purpose, those that speak to the life that’s been lived before and the life they’re about to enter. We want to create homes that are layered with meaning, memories, and intention. Homes where the past meets the present.

What Makes Our Collection Special?

Every item in our collection is handpicked. We search far and wide for objects that hold a story. From rural estate sales to tucked-away flea markets, we curate with the belief that antiques are more than just “old stuff.” They’re part of something bigger. A chair that’s seen generations of family gatherings, a mirror that’s reflected decades of life, a trinket box that once held someone’s secrets. These items are ready to continue their journey.

What makes them special is the way they can blend into modern spaces, with their character, age, and charm. Antique furniture, decor, and curiosities bring warmth, authenticity, and personality to any room. They’re pieces that don’t just fill space, they tell a story.

Our Philosophy: Collect Slowly, and with Intention

We believe that a well curated home isn’t about trends or quick fixes. It’s about collecting slowly, with intention. It’s about choosing things that have meaning, that resonate with you whether they’ve been in your family for generations or are newly discovered pieces waiting for their place in your life.

We’re also about sustainability. By choosing vintage and antique, we’re giving objects a second chance. Rather than mass produced items that contribute to waste, we’re breathing new life into what’s already here. And in the process, we’re helping you create a home that’s uniquely yours, full of pieces with stories to tell.

What’s Next for Cannon Home Goods?

As we launch this website, we’re looking forward to sharing our finds with you, growing our collection, and connecting with fellow antique lovers. We’re also thrilled to continue meeting you at local events, pop-ups, and our booth at the Lafayette Flea Market (Booth SJD), where you can see our treasures up close and find your next favorite piece.

Stay tuned for new arrivals, styling tips, and behind-the-scene peeks into how we find, restore, and re-home these beautiful objects. We’re so glad you’re here and we can’t wait to see how you bring the past into your present.
