Best of February 2015: Vintage Decor and Romance
February is the month of romance, and our client spotlight posts about vintage decor this month were certainly full of romance. February also ended on a romantic note for Greg and me - we took a break away from business with a trip to Hot Springs, North Carolina! Here are highlights from some our of favorite blog posts of the month.
Our customer Marie-Louise in Haute-Normandie, France, bought a vintage teacup and spoon chandelier from us. You can see all the photos Marie-Louise sent us of the chandelier in her gorgeous vintage French kitchen in the story about The Vintage Teacup Chandelier. This is just one of our many upcycled chandeliers, hand-crafted and custom-made for us by an artisan using vintage silver plate spoons. Marie-Louise's home is dreamily romantic, inside and out!
Closer to home, Veritta in California sent photos of her dining room featuring the set of six vintage French dining chairs she bought from us. The upholstered oak chairs date to about 1950 and they are carved in the sheepbone style. Veritta told us that she bought the dining table 10 years ago but she has been waiting all this time for just the right chairs. We think it was worth waiting for the perfect love match, don't you? See for yourself in the Vintage French Sheepbone Chairs story and photos.
Also in February, I told you about these Four Romantic Victorian Inns around the country so you can plan a romantic getaway any time of year, not just on Valentine's day. All the inns are decorated with period Victorian or Victorian style decor, including the one in the photo. This is The Victorian Inn in Ferndale, CA, built in 1890 and convenient for California Redwood Forest. An antique armoire and a red velvet Victorian couch add to the appeal of the inviting Victorian Parlor room.
I often talk about home decor trends in this blog, and one romantic trend that I've noticed for 2015 is bird imagery and bird themes on furniture, textiles, ceramics, and home accents. My article called Home Decor Trends: Birds Take Flight shares bird decor inspiration from the charming and rustic to the elegantly sophisticated.
Let me know if there is a topic you would like me to cover in the March blog posts, whether it's about antique furniture, vintage decor, or home decor trends. Or anything else related to making a beautiful home - we love to hear from you!
