The Estate of things

On first blush, you might say the shield mirror in the TEOT Etsy shop leans traditional. But because of its clean lines and classic shape its actually pretty versatile.

Here it is in a more traditional installation, Eddie Ross’ dining room

It would be a welcome addition to this gallery wall,

How does it translate in a modern bath, pretty well I’d say,

Massucco Warner Miller

But I think my favorite placement for it might be a boy’s room like this maybe,

or this one,

Went, saw, conquered– the flea at the NC Fairgrounds.

DC snacked her way through the flea market on Saturday convincing her grandfather to buy her popcorn and ice cream all before lunch.

great color but broken

nice detail on the legs I thought.

This curious set was marked Walker Toffee.

Gray was just one of the many colors these might look good in, $80 for the pair. They were Broyhill.

I couldn’t agree more Nathan. This walnut hammer looks like a part of one of those great textural, masculine vignettes in a Turner, Gambrel or O’Brien design.

Find this unique piece in The Estate of Things Etsy shop.

 Vintage Brushed Silver Enamel Bowl

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…

I think this lovely little hobnail white glass vase from the Estate Sale,

would get along famously with this group,

If you’ve got empty bookshelves I think I can help. Here’s the setup,

Here are the supplies in our Etsy shop, the Estate Sale

vintage Lenox pedestal bowl

vintage Haeger vase

Modern white cup

Hull white pedestal vase

blue striped bowl

Pop in a little brassiness,

vintage brass partridges

brass ginger jar

brass bird dish

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.
