I love antiques. LOVE. From a design perspective, I love the look of aging and the wear. But what I think I love most is imagining the story behind each piece. Was this bowl a wedding present for a young bride, eager to begin life with her beloved? Was this framed piece of art purchased to go in a living room or maybe the bedroom? How long did it take to sew this quilt completely by hand?
I really would like to include more pieces like this in our baby girl’s nursery. Decorating has come to a stand-still with all of the moving preparations lately, but I’m still dreaming and scheming behind the scenes! 🙂
I recently came across the etsy shop, Beatrice in Blue, and fell in love with a bunch of her items! Check out a few of my favorites:
I. I am totally in love with this little teddy bear serving set! Can’t you imagine some sweet baby eating her first meals with it? While it’s not recommended for my Little Miss to use, I can picture it on display on a shelf in her nursery.
2. This pink and white chenille bedspread reminds me of my Gram’s house. I love the subtle detailing and the distinctly feminine touch. $56 for a full-sized bedspread with so much history? What a deal.
3. Look at that little girl saying her prayers! I can picture her in a vignette (similar to the way it’s styled above) on a tall dresser/bookcase or even on the wall as part of a big collage.
4. This wooden divider box is so versatile and I can think of a million ways to use it! For the nursery, I would use it next to the changing table to hold diaper rash creme, lotion and baby powder.
I lovvvvve this! You have such excellent taste, Ashley!
