Our taste leans toward modern decor, mostly. However, once in a while we really like vintage decor as well. It's kinda like anti-hip, anti-cool, and we like it.
Honestly, we're a little bit tired of hipness--why such a need to be cool and hip all the time? What's wrong with letting our stomach hangs out in an old t-shirt and chugging a beer once in a while?
(Okay, we have to admit we only do this in private--never in public. We live in LA, for God's sake.)
Vintage decorating is like wearing an old t-shirt, actually. It's comforting and nolstagic. We found a bunch of products from Barraveld that we really like.
Here are some of them:
This couch is cored in soft beige linen. It's about $2000.
This antique book is about $30.
We love this door knob, dont' you? It runs about $25/each.
We adore this settee. It's about $1900.
This cream/sugar set runs about $125 for the set.
We don't know if this actually works or not, but this antique telescope runs about $400 or so...
This adorable horse retails at $150.
We love this light fixture, either for outside or inside. It retails for $300.
This garden conservatory is $4000-it's a real one though! We have no idea how much it costs to ship!
Most of these products can be used in a very modern way. If you want to see an example of this, go to Gjelina restaurant on Abbott Kinney in Venice when you have a chance. They have a fabulous way of using vintage decor in a very chic way. The food is fabulous too...
We'll be loading this up soon in our vintage decor section. In the mean time, if you want to see more or have questions about any of the products seen here, please contact us.
