New Vintage Shop

Rm2 by Raji Radhakrishnan

Below are samples of the gorgeous vintage items she carries...a lot are out of my price range, but a girl can dream. I was surprised that there weren't any seahorses ;).

Um...Seahorse

Okay I promise not to post about seahorses again, especially during the holidays. While everyone else is sharing holiday scenes, I'm over here sourcing seahorses. Funny thing is...I am seriously not a big fan of them in interiors. I just find them fascinating. So this is it..promise.

I spotted the image of the breakfast nook below on Pinterest. Madeline Weinrib had shared it a few days ago and I was like...how did you know, Ms. Weinrib, that I'm strangely drawn to these creatures? I adore her fabrics and textiles...that is her rug in the image. And the seahorse table is quite divine actually.

The fabric is from Spoonflower...please forgive me for not remembering the seller. It's cute though...no?

Okay, so maybe I do like seahorses in interiors!

Hope everyone is well! I think after this post I'm off to donate to Oceana.

What Do You See?

After I posted about seahorses the other day I see them everywhere now. Below is a patio by Doug & Gene Meyer and taken by Jason Schmidt. The wallpaper is designed by Terrence Payne at Hygge and West...wouldn't it be sweet in a kids bathroom?

Seahorse Seahorse

I know this is odd, but does anyone like seahorses in design? I love them in nature...so mythical and elegant. They're one of the creatures hardest hit by acidification. I had an idea years ago...what if we donated to a cause for every image we use from nature? For the seahorse...we donate to Oceana. For zebra printed rugs...we donate to WWF and Rainforest Alliance. Why Rainforest Alliance? Well the rugs are printed on cowhides, which are raised mostly in Brazil. They need land, so guess what gets cut down to raise them....yup rain forests. The only image I really like below is the pink one...how about you?

Toile Madness Take 2

These two images are from the gorgeous home of Dagny from Scandinavian Chic. Not only is her home (which recently sold) gorgeous, she is too...follow her on instagram to see her stunningly beautiful ensembles. I love her style...maximalist at its best!
