When I saw this gorgeous dresser from my sweet gal, Capree of My Adventure Is Your Advantage, I knew it would be a star for one of my vintage vignettes, so I rang her up about borrowing the piece. Seeing that she was in the process of updating her guest room, I wanted to give her a hand at styling it, too (not that she needed it). Can you tell she lives for color? She chose the delicious Orla Kiela signature wallpaper and sent me some of her favorite things like her awesome robots, that dome clock and also art she's been collecting. Because the wallpaper is so lively, I chose a neutral ceramic teak lamp with a black lamp shade. I also picked up a few turquoise pottery to add just a dab of color on the credenza—wood and turquoise always look great together! For the artworks, I used black frames with wider matting on the smaller prints to add some white space on the wall, that way, it doesn't smother the artwork. I think larger frames work better than a cluster of smaller ones because of the small patterns on the wall. Well, I hope she likes it! If you need any help with your vintage vignettes, just hit me up and we can chit chat.

I'm so glad you showcased this dresser because I just acquired a nine-drawer dresser and was debating on how to style, accessorize, etc. Thanks for the inspiration, and I may hit you up to chit chat!

ReplyDelete@ Julia You're welcome and thanks for stopping by! Yes, hit me up anytime! So excited to see your new dresser!
ReplyDelete@ Crystal I know, they're so amazing! And all from the same Etsy store, ModishVintage. My new fave, I want 'em!
Ahhh!! I LOVE IT! Those vases are amazing and that lamp works so well with the wallpaper. Also, you make a great point about using larger mats to balance the prints against the wallpaper... I wouldn't have thought of that. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm so excited to really start accessorizing and decorating our guest room - and I couldn't have done it without you! You're THE best, Dabito! xoxo
ReplyDelete@ Capree Woo hoo! I'm so glad you like it. I love the lamp and it was made for you, seriously. Can't wait to see what you do with your guest room, so keep us all posted!
ReplyDeleteSo colorful! Loving those robots, too. I agree-- turqouise + wood totally rocks. Great styling!
ReplyDeleteLooks like my dream space :) I'm a robot lover that lives for color, too.
ReplyDeleteThat settles it- you have to come to London and decorate the entire house. I am too sick and pooped to tackle it myself at this point. And you've just proved you'd do a better job, you turd. Ha!
ReplyDeleteDoooo ittt.
Also, j'aime beaucoup your new logo. I noticed!
ReplyDelete@ Christina Thanks! I love Caprees robots too. I'm trying to get my hands on some but no where to be found.
ReplyDelete@ Van You and Capree are totally alike! I thought you'd be feeling this one!
