Lovin’ It: Mixing Old and New


vintage rug in mcguire furniture ad

I just love the eclectic look of mixing old and new in home decor and I’m just lovin’ McGuire Furniture’s new Jackson Square collection. (And no, they’re not paying me to say this!)

I received their catalog in the mail yesterday and drooled over their new furniture pieces as well as the gorgeous presentation, photography and styling.

One lovely touch that struck my fancy was the vintage rug that was used in the photo here. The brand new McGuire Marview Lounge Chair is perfectly accessorized with this rad-and-ratty ol’ rug which was embraced for its all its flaws and eccentricities rather than abandoned.

And that’s the decorating spirit of a true Vintage Crusader.

More info and pics from the catalog at McGuire Furniture.

Zuburbia HOME: A Hand-Colored Graffiti Sofa


graffiti hand-colored sofa

If you’ve ever spent weeks deciding on the perfect upholstery fabric to recover your favorite piece of furniture, perhaps you’ll want to steal Pamela Bell’s idea and next time just save yourself the headache.

Faced with the same dilemma, a year of indecision, and party for her daughter filled with bored young girls, she spontaneously decided to hand out fabric markers and let the girls have at it. Of course, it turns out she liked their results so much that she opted-out of reupholstering altogether and now keeps those markers handy for guests to add their own scribblings to the evolving piece of art.

I love that she chose to celebrate the girls’ work by giving the sofa a prominent place in her living room and I love this idea for turning a would-be disaster — like spilled red wine, nail polish, or ink — into a creative exploration. Plus those unprofessional hieroglyphics have a charm all their own, don’t you think?

Zuburbia HOME: Chanel in Wolfe’s Clothing


chanel room by vicente wolf

Just as we I have a few favorite fashion designers, I also have a few favorite interior designers. And one name on the short list is Vicente Wolf.

The ultra-chic (and ultra-tiny) bathroom above is one of his designs that I spied in his book, Learning to See. Vicente claims it was inspired by Chanel’s packaging for Chanel No. 5 perfume and I hope it inspires you to think about how something as simple as a few yards of grosgrain ribbon could brighten up your home.
