Vintage Urns

 

I have this deep love for vintage urns, I was browsing through the new container images from the boys at Atelier de Campagne and I am loving all of these..  Pairs of them make my heart skip a beat! 

Can you imagine them flanking a door or on the mantle?  Just so perfect to add that little bit of something with some great live plants added in.

this week I am loving..

 

 

It is funny there are some weeks when inspiration eludes me and then there are some where it is everywhere and I cannot keep it straight!  I am absolutely loving everything here!  I love vintage chairs and their time worn look, the lovely layers of grey from Atelier de Campagne, and Lauren at Pure Style Home's new textile line.  

Do you ever find too much inspiration?  I like to take mine and store it away for a day when I am feeling a little out of sorts and use it to get me back on track!

Vespa Love.. in greige

 

I am pretty sure this is meant for me!!!  I just saw it on Eloquence and I NEED it.  My husband said to me it won't work for our house maybe if we lived in a small town in the south of France.  I said can we move there so I can have one???

I love love it!

Hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday!  What is on your wish list for the holidays?? 

Don't miss our giveaway!!

Rose Bowl Flea Market...

So we hit the Rosebowl flea market on Sunday morning, it was a beautiful day thank goodness!  I have been really happy with this flea market so far, it is full of great vendors and fantastic pieces!  I completely fell in love with these giant vintage posters and art pieces.  Each piece is mounted on a larger canvas for easy framing and storage.  I so wanted the Louis Vuitton piece but is a little bold for me.  I would be happy to point you in the direction of this vendor if only he had had a card for me.  He is at the Rosebowl for every show unless it is raining on the isle against the fence near the entry.

Some amazing stadium lighting just in case you needed some!  The boat too- there are some really interesting pieces to be found here.

I always love the vintage trophies and coral such a fun combination!

This vendor used some of our Lanet fabric for upholstery.  So so cute I thought!

Irons and Duck so fantastic as always!

I was so excited to see Robert again.  It has been months since I have bought any of his vintage textiles.  I got some great pieces!!  I love them for upholstery and pillows.  There are some vintage pieces that I bought that I would love to reproduce (if anyone has any info on having your own fabric made I would love it).

Fred was there from Grenouille,  I picked up this vintage ledger from him!  I cannot wait to frame it up for the wall!

 Of course there were some beautiful vintage clothing pieces, I just have not given into this idea yet.  My sister says I am crazy!

 I did get this super cute little hat though.  Fun and great for a little shade on my nose!!

We were completely taken by the pieces in Mark from Create a Vision Antiques.  My sister bought one of his converted lights for her living room.  Which looked so very cool when we put it in!  I am wishing I had one too!

My Bags were so full and so heavy!  I was ready to head out before we even walked the entire show.

We did not find any dining chairs for my sister but we did get her a fantastic little curved back settee, I cannot wait to see it reupholstered and in her space.  

I hope you are having a wonderful Monday so far!!

Vintage doors

 

I love this use of vintage doors, what a great way to have them be functional and beautiful by mounting them on barn door style hardware.  Totally cool.  Not to mention the color... perfection.

I love the doors from Eleoquence below.. so so cool!

What do you think, do you like the true vintage mix that these doors give in a space?

Dreaming {by invitation}

Dreams are such a fun thing.  I have so many but there is one that keeps jumping out at me.  I think it maybe more of a wish than a dream but I am truly not sure what the difference is any more.

 I dream of having a wonderful place in France to spend time in with my family, when I say time I mean real time where we eat together outside, we cook together, take hikes and walks and learn about the surrounding areas.  A home base to travel to new worlds together, just us, just for fun!

 

This beautiful home would be filled with my favorite of all favorites!  Astier de Villatte dishes and furnishings mixed with amazing French finds from Brocantes and local artisans.  Things would be striped down and natural just like the surroundings and the food.  It would be amazing we would cook and read.

We would ride bikes around just so we could see everything and stop anywhere. 

Eating outside as often as possible would be the norm..

My mind might even be free enough to have time to create some new classics based on old methods.

 

I would have the time and patience to learn how to draw and possibly paint.

A girl can dream right!

What about you what do you dream about?

Please take a minute to stop by and see everyone who participated today!!
