A Furnished Affair
Hello, dear readers! Today’s post is a petite one. I’ve been so heavily influenced by Swedish furnishings lately, and so, felt inspired to bring back a series I had a while back on my blog where I designed little vignettes from collected pieces I’ve saved around the internet. I just love dreaming up make-believe rooms!
This all started with the gorgeous cabinet below and the amazzzzing cast terracotta urn lamps that I’ll be thinking about for… ever? Do I need these? I may sorta kinda let myself go a bit crazy in these posts. Pulling from all different price points! Simply, because I can. And because I love gathering anything my eyes are drawn as reference points in the future.
I’ve always looked at my blog as a place to get inspired versus a platform for just shopping… so forgive me if you (too) are wildly disappointed that you may not be able to afford some things I share… I can’t always either. But you just never know when you may see something in the corner of an antique shop or on Facebook Marketplace or even in a Home Goods for a very good price that reminds you of a much more expensive version you had saved or saw here or on Pinterest! I did proudly pull myself back from sharing a $15,000 cabinet (insert wiggly woozy face emoji). Any how, I do hope all the times I share very affordable finds makes up for it!
Gone Antiquing Nº2
Clearly, you are my people since you love antiquing just as much as I do. This round, I couldn’t help but include a few furniture pieces as I’ve been heavily inspired by Swedish Gustavian styles lately - such gorgeous woodwork and in beautiful light washes. I also included a good mantel for less than $800 (hard to find!) in case you are on the hunt and want to upgrade your rental! And as always, a few smaller, less expensive pieces for home. So, without further ado…
This month’s antique roundup comes from Chairish. Where probably 25% of my apartment is from, like my dining room table and chandelier, plus several alabaster lamps and my white wicker one! Not as inexpensive as Etsy sellers, but the quality of the pieces I find on Chairish is top tier. With much more curated shops and a fabulous search/filter system, I often find myself there when I’m on the hunt for very specific items.
