The Estate of things

An argument for purple glassware,

 and if you feel so compelled you may want to check these out,

If the only thing you’re missing in your fabulous kitchen with grey cabinets is a white footed bowl?

your search is over because I’ve got your bowl in the Estate Sale shop,

When I bought this covered emerald green dish I had Rita Konig in mind,

I remembered some of Konig’s casual and thoughtful vignettes in her own apartment and then what do you know…

There’s some good stuff on Etsy, like you didn’t know. Here are some of my favorites right now. Do you have a favorite artist on Etsy?

My favorite color is turquoise and I’m always drawn to blue glass in shelter mags, around town and at the flea market. I love the utilitarian and coastal look of vintage blue glass water bottles like the one in our Etsy shop, the Estate Sale.

You can spot antique demijohns and blue and green glass fairly easily in a variety of interiors. I love them in bathrooms and kitchens paired with wicker or driftwood or catching plenty of sunlight near a window.

In the Emerson Made household they fill their blue glass bottle up with corks.

I’ve been working on piecing a nursery together and because I’m still convinced that its a boy (two more weeks until we know!) I’ve been focusing on creating a space meant for a boy. Not to worry–I’m not totally putting my eggs in one basket, I do have a starting element for a girl’s nursery that I could build on.

One element I was thinking of including is a quilt or blanket folded and placed over the side of the crib. Let me stop here and say that I did this in DC’s room and I placed it at the foot of the crib so there was no risk of it falling off in to the crib and on to her face. 

While we’re on the topic of baby quilts, during some of my daily reading I discovered designer Amy Meier (thanks to Amber Interiors) who is letting a quilt drive the concept in her daughter’s nursery. Check out Amy’s portfolio here.

So back to the search– 

I looked through some of my favorite baby sites and then of course I started cruising Etsy. I found an abundance of sweet blankets, I especially love the gauze cotton blankets like the Patapri Mountain blanket below. Here are some of favorites,
