Dream Kitch

January 17, 2012

I’ve found some common themes in the kitchen inspiration photos I’ve been saving: lots of light, a cool pendant or two, and lots of open shelving. I love Ikea’s super affordable floating shelves {don’t they look fab in Erin’s kitchen}? And these lucite shelves would be a good option to get the look of the last photo.

Antique Finds

January 17, 2012

Along with my chalkboard frame, here are a few things I found while antiquing with my mom and sisters.

01. A milk glass assortment.

02. Brass desk lamp {love the green shade}.

03 + 04. A full set of hand-painted gold china. I want to pair them up with this West Elm dinnerware to make it a mix of modern and classic. This set was $10! Such a steal.

05. Copper tea kettle. I want to eventually have a collection of all copper pots and pans. This is a start!

06. A bar cart! Finally! Spotted this in the corner of a teensy antique store and I’m obsessed.

Have you found anything good while out thrifting/antiquing lately? Do tell!

Gallery Wall

December 19, 2011

I’ve been collecting art and frames for a future gallery wall for our apartment. I still can’t decide which route I want to take — black and white? Color? Here are some recent images I’ve pinned for inspiration.

I’m loving Etsy as an artwork resource (love this shop) and I’ve recently found Society6 which has really affordable pieces (obsessed with this and this).

Any gallery wall advice? What are some other inexpensive artwork resources? Any Etsy favorites?
