Fun Finds

Happy Monday! Time to start all over again, but the coffee is flowing and I am ready for a productive week.

We are fortunate here in Atlanta, the second weekend of every month, Scott’s Antique Market rolls into town.  It is a great place to search for that “perfect piece” or just to peruse the halls for inspiration! I went on Saturday and spent 5 and 1/2 hours soaking in all the goodies! Here are some fun finds I thought I would share….

Love, Love, Love this! These are two separate cabinets from a 1960’s pharmacy.  It is an enameled white metal with the original letter inserts.  You could put this piece is SO many places: a foyer, a mudroom, or even a TV console.

It is hard to tell how amazing this was and the scale of it from the image, but I promise, it was spectacular! This is an old clock front from New Bedford, MA that is just about 7 feet tall.  If you had the right  spot for this, it would be an awesome focal point.

French Cooking tins, who would have thought! They would make a great wall hanging accent in a set.  You could also hang them as chalkboards, how great in a kitchen!

These are some great industrial lights, that had a wonderful scale (they were probably about 18″ Diameter).  If you are looking for some unique pendants over an island, these would be beautiful!

Love these French antique bottles (I believe they are Cider jars, but I am not positive).  Great accessories alone or in the crate.  They also make great lamps like I used below.

I think Cabinet Hardware is sometimes just as important as the cabinet design itself, I consider it the jewelry that can finalize an outfit.. it will make or break it! These square drop pulls, I was told were early 19th century. LOVE!

Here are a couple modern versions:
Old World Drop pull, Shown in Oil Rubbed Bronze, $12.99

Century Hardware Medieval Bail Pull, Shown in Polished Chrome (available in several finishes), $15.70

I hope you enjoyed some of my fun finds!! What unique pieces have you come across that inspired you or you just couldn’t live without? I would love to hear!
Have a great day!

Wood Burning Stoves… Feel the heat!

To me there is something nostalgic about walking into a home that is heated by a wood stove, you just can’t beat it! Not only are they a great design feature but have ample benefits such as cost effective heating (and if the power goes out, you are guaranteed to stay warm!).  I think that wood burning stoves are a timeless feature that can work beautifully in any interior.  Here are a few images to inspire warm thoughts!

Here is a great image from Coastal Style, showing how a wood-burning stove can really be the centerpiece to a room (even in a unique space like this – The living room was created from an old railway carriage!)

In this Scandinavian Interior, a modern cook top is fashionably place next to an antique wood stove.  This is a great shot showing a smaller scale fireplace in the heart of the kitchen; functional and tasteful!

I love this modern stove designed by Singapore Architect Albano Daminato, which to me has an antique feel but shows itself off with very clean lines.

I think this is a great looking wood stove from Firebelly that you can purchase in a variety of finishes.  The optional log box (as shown) is a great addition as well!

Another great modern option is the Shaker from Wittus-Fire

I know when I build a home, you can guarantee that a wood burning stove will be carefully fit into the design! Stay well and warm…
