your new favorite site for vintage.

If you've been following along for a while you know my obsession with vintage furniture is undeniable. Thankfully I work for a company that is expanding my knowledge in the value of a great vintage find. And, even better, the internet is helping me find pieces that the clients cannot wait to own.

My new favorite site on my never ending vintage quest is Decaso. Newly launched by the same great makers of Chairish, this new site is filled with a countless treasure trove of quality antique & vintage pieces. From Franco Albini to Edward Wormley to Warren Platner, Decaso is filled with incredible pieces offered from dealers around the world. 

Because I couldn't stop clicking through and daydreaming about my ultimate dream space, I took an old rendering and created it using all pieces from Decaso. Every piece of furniture you see can be found through the links below. Bare in mind I did reupholster the chairs and sofa but I would in real life so why not? Click through and let me know what you think, I'd love to hear about your Decaso finds and what would be in your ultimate dream space.

fashion meets interiors // who what wear

Let's be serious, there are a countless number of lists on the internet right now. Whether it's the 14 filthiest, germiest things you touch all day, every day, 13 photos of Pets on Chic Furniture Just because, or even 17 Things You should Never do While Drunk, it seems like the web has gone list crazy. 

To keep in trend- and because I, myself, love lists- I decided to steal this list from the fabulous people of Who What Wear, and turn it from 3 Easy Ways to Dress Up Any Fall Outfit to 3 Easy Ways to Dress Up Any Home. Enjoy!

"A studded jacket or a metallic blazer or biker jacket can dress up even jeans and a tee! A metal belt can add instant glamour to an all-black outfit, and you can’t go wrong with a sequin or glitter clutch."

The same thing can be said about your space. Adding that bit of sparkle is always key. Whether it's a festive twinkle light or a shiny mirror back splash, adding that extra touch of light will always dress up any space.

Athropologie // Aurora String Lights

Target // Nate Berkus Black and Gold accent table

"Fringe can add a luxe element and elevate a look instantly, as can metallic embroidery, delicate lace, and rich leathers. Try a cream mohair cardigan for an especially high-end texture!"

Adding texture to any space is super easy and would also elevate the room instantly. Try incorporating a jute woven basket or even a gorgeous piece of wood furniture. This will turn any space from frigid and harsh, to warm and inviting.

"You basically can’t go wrong with an animal print in the cooler months. Try a leopard ankle bootie or a snakeskin handbag or pump."

Who doesn't love a good animal print? Whether it's a fun zebra striped pillow, or a lush faux fur throw, you really can't go wrong with adding a bit of ferocious decor.

Living Like // Friends

In case you haven't heard, central perk has now opening up as a pop up coffee shop in Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Ross, Joey and Chandler's neck of NYC. To celebrate the recent revival of this iconic sitcom, I thought I'd give you all a look at how you can incorporate the Friends "shabby chic" sets into your home. 

Now, I'm kind of a huge Friends nerd. I've probably watched every episode at least 15 times (I know a lot of people say that, but I really have. It is the perfect background show when you're up late working on projects), but for those of you not as up on your Friends set knowledge, here is a little recap. 

There's the coffee shop:

Now go have fun bringing your favorite character's decor into your home! And if any of you do adventure over to the pop up shop, tell Gunther I say hi!
