Swan Love

After seeing Petra Boase’s bathroom in Emily Chalmer’s new book Modern Vintage Style, (which is fantastic!) I have become very intrigued with swans. I find all these images to be so graceful and calming.

Of course, Bjork. Vespertine leaves me speechless.

Silhouette Love

Silhouette Love
I recently found my first vintage silhouette, an item that always has been, and will continue to be, on my radar. It’s the perfect addition to our art wall!
I was really attracted to the little blue frame, and the strange shape. Is it a hat, or hair, or both? I’ve decided it’s a little lost boy, the Peter Pan type. :)

Secrets From A Stylist

Secrets From A Stylist
Have you seen Secrets From a Stylist?! It takes a lot for a new show to intrigue me when I’d much rather watch old British shows on Netflix, but this new program on HGTV is a hit!
Stylist and Design Star winner Emily Henderson has a great eye for repurposing vintage furniture, most of which she finds at flea markets and resale shops.
 Lucky girl, she has the Rose Bowl Flea Market!
cute Anthro cardigan, I have the same one in my closet! :)
So here’s the show in a nutshell, she meets with a couple, helps them figure out their individual styles, and then creates two looks, the final look melding their two styles together. I want her job!
Check out full episodes here.
Here are some of my favorite interior shots from her portfolio:
This girls got talent!
