Rose Bowl Flea Market...

5:03 AM | Labels: flea market, rose bowl flea market, shopping, textiles, vintage, Vintage french, vintage industrial, vintage mix

So we hit the Rosebowl flea market on Sunday morning, it was a beautiful day thank goodness! I have been really happy with this flea market so far, it is full of great vendors and fantastic pieces! I completely fell in love with these giant vintage posters and art pieces. Each piece is mounted on a larger canvas for easy framing and storage. I so wanted the Louis Vuitton piece but is a little bold for me. I would be happy to point you in the direction of this vendor if only he had had a card for me. He is at the Rosebowl for every show unless it is raining on the isle against the fence near the entry.

Some amazing stadium lighting just in case you needed some! The boat too- there are some really interesting pieces to be found here.

I always love the vintage trophies and coral such a fun combination!

This vendor used some of our Lanet fabric for upholstery. So so cute I thought!

Irons and Duck so fantastic as always!

I was so excited to see Robert again. It has been months since I have bought any of his vintage textiles. I got some great pieces!! I love them for upholstery and pillows. There are some vintage pieces that I bought that I would love to reproduce (if anyone has any info on having your own fabric made I would love it).

Fred was there from Grenouille, I picked up this vintage ledger from him! I cannot wait to frame it up for the wall!

Of course there were some beautiful vintage clothing pieces, I just have not given into this idea yet. My sister says I am crazy!

I did get this super cute little hat though. Fun and great for a little shade on my nose!!

We were completely taken by the pieces in Mark from Create a Vision Antiques. My sister bought one of his converted lights for her living room. Which looked so very cool when we put it in! I am wishing I had one too!

My Bags were so full and so heavy! I was ready to head out before we even walked the entire show.

We did not find any dining chairs for my sister but we did get her a fantastic little curved back settee, I cannot wait to see it reupholstered and in her space.

I hope you are having a wonderful Monday so far!!

Medeline Weinrib's inspiring, eclectic home

9:36 AM | Labels: antique furniture, ecelectic decor, house tour, Madeline Weinrib, Manhattan loft, Moroccan style interiors, rug, textiles

I've loved Weinrib's rugs and textile patterns before I even really knew much about interior design. They are classic, eclectic, and well-researched. That's why I was super excited to see her Manhattan loft featured in Elle Decor...
