My POP-UP SHOP will be open again next weekend and my theme for April is "Global Home". With Earth Day being in April I thought focusing on more organic, natural, earthy decor would be fun. Choosing second-hand, upcycled, refurbished finds is such a good way to help our planet.
My thrifting word I have been keeping in my mind is "GLOBAL" and I have curated some lovely neutral items recently.
These wood candlesticks are HEFTY and have a great light wood patina. The greyish/brown thin wool blanket underneath has a nice, nubby texture. The basket needs some fixing, but I loved its style. The cream colored, needlepoint pillow has the softest, terra cotta colored, velvet back.
A couple wood, pool racks make great wall art and can even be used as a small shelf to prop photos on. The cream and navy, cotton table runner is new and brings a nautical, summer cottage look to the home. I loved the star design and the dark color on the round basket. This would be great in a gallery wall grouping or makes a nice bread basket.
This gold, plaster or chalkware, noble chief has some damage, but I do love him. The copper patina on the lantern is lovely and the heavy, brass teapot aren't old, but they are well-made. The homemade deer shelf mimics a Victorian era piece and the small basket has a hook or hanger on it to hang it on a ledge or off the back of a chair. I sourced two, long, vintage needlepoint wall hangings or tapestries. The work on them is amazing. The pom-pom curtain panels were in a free box. I will hang them in the shop and then I think use them across the top of my gazebo.
The verdigris patina on this heavy copper bowl is swoon worthy. The oval basket under the deer shelf makes a great tray for a coffee table or kitchen counter.
This little black case has a time-worn leather handle and sweet, pink, flowered fabric inside. The chair seat needs recovered, but someone else had already done the hard work of sanding the dark stain and replacing the caning.
I love sourcing new items for my home and for my customers. These light and organic natural finds and colors have me ready for summer days and will blend well with a variety of home styles and decor.
Love!!!!!!
