Above the glass-topped desk on the office side of the room features a few original pieces by me, but I fell in love with the clean-lined, fresh look of these prints from A Vintage Poster. After I picked out three pieces that, in my mind, would work well in a guest room (a stack of suitcases, an old-fashioned camera, and a Beetles quote that I live by) I was able to choose from 25 colors for each print.
We chose “Almond” for the quote, “Lime” for the camera and “Watercress” for the suitcases. As you can see, the photo taken in our guest room is not a true depiction of the colors represented in person (especially the quote that turned a brownish color in the photo–eeks), the guide above is much more accurate to the colors in the prints.
When I knew which posters I wanted, I went back to our original basement game plan that we posted about all the way back in September, to choose colors.
And wouldn’t you know it, A Vintage Poster had exact matches to what we were looking for. Woot! I ordered an 11×14 of each and put them in a 16×20 frame with cardstock to serve as a mat to cheat the size up a bit. They really did set the tone for the entire room.
And now, Chris and I are ready for a long winter’s nap. Or some hot chocolate, a good movie and a few nights off. ;)
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.
