Beautiful, isn't it?

Hot Cool Vintage: May 2015
http://hotcoolvintage.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 22, 2015. Living with Vintage: Dresser: 3 Ways. Some people see a dresser and see storage. When I see a dresser, I see valuable horizontal real estate. When I start to style a space, whether it's a shelf, dresser or a table, I use the same "formula". Height Color Texture = Winning! Nod to the 70's. Color - Browns and oranges. Height - The art is a great focal point but the vignette needs the pottery and the lamp to keep things interesting. Texture - The pottery just oozes awesome textures.

Hot Cool Vintage: August 2013
http://hotcoolvintage.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 16, 2013. Please tell me I'm not the only person who gets excited over the arrival of the new Ikea catalog. It seems that as soon as it arrives I devour it as I once did the arrival of the "Toys R Us Big Book of Toys" catalog. I'm not alone in this right? Here is what my catalog looked like when I started. And here it is 5 minutes later. Obviously, I'm not all Ikea all the time. I'm a thrifter first and foremost but Ikea does serve a purpose. On my facebook. Page (you have liked my facebook.

Hot Cool Vintage: Living with Vintage - Trays
http://hotcoolvintage.blogspot.com/2015/04/living-with-vintage-trays.html
Friday, April 17, 2015. Living with Vintage - Trays. Let’s talk about trays. Me? I love them. Big or little, metal or plastic. I can always find a spot that instantly looks better once I find the right tray. Trays highlight, contain and most importantly elevate your items. Have a collection? Want to make something look just a little bit better? This is a classic mid century Danish modern. In a previous life this was an. Keep some extra trays on hand. Great for serving or if a guest stays the night...

Hot Cool Vintage: Living with Vintage - Mixing Metals
http://hotcoolvintage.blogspot.com/2015/03/mixing-metals.html
Friday, March 13, 2015. Living with Vintage - Mixing Metals. Another Vintage Friday post from 3 Story Magazine. Candle holders are a great way to add some interest to a table. Brass adds a bit of the warmth silver adds the sparkle. It’s also handy when the candle holder doubles as a flower vase. These holders are different in metals and form but I think the general Scandinavian design aesthetic is what makes these two work well together. Ystad Metall Brass candle holders here.
