It’s no secret that I have a man-crush on Mike Wolfe.
I dig his style, his clothes, and especially how pumped he gets about nostalgia.
Have you ever seen him find a rusty steam whistle covered in cow dung on an old barn floor? The guy almost pees his pants explaining the history of that piece of crap. The whistle, I mean…..not the literal “crap”.
Last time that I posted a Mike Wolfe home tour…there was very little home to see…..
Luckily, Country Living Magazine gave a us a bit more of a peak into this guy’s private life.
We just watched the episode of Pickers where Mike and his life-partner Frank, find that eagle weather-vane currently in his dining room. Mike had to use an axe to chop the base of it out of a tree that had grown around the darn thing over the past 80 years.
A man, an axe, and a goal……
If that’s not just good quality television, then I don’t know what is.
OMiGosh — there go my “less-is-more” musings! For some reason, I’ve not gotten the last couple months of CL mag! Perhaps I can squeeze in a trip to the library today to have a look-see.
Love the American Pickers. Thanks for showing us the private side.
Your blog had been giving me fits loading on my old iPad. My new iPad loads your photos much better! But that’s not why I got a new iPad. I tucked the old one under my arm while dumping trash in the dumpster and then dropped it (twice) on the concrete carport floor. The glass was cracked and the frame was all bent up and that was as good a reason as any to get the new iPad! I love all the old vintage stuff in Mike’s home! Thanks for sharing.
Love it all -but- I am soooo tired of the color gray . Brings me down, especially in a kitchen or bedroom.
I hear ya sister. I think it’s a “safe” color lately……
Fun home! And I too have a crush on him. Thanks for posting! Last but certainly not least – their child looks like a tiny Josh Groban.
