Shabby Chic, For Once: Beaded Crystal Vintage Chandelier
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or email newsletter.
As much as I consider myself a lover of ultra-modern design, every now and then, I come across something especially ornate or frilly that I can’t help but love. And since chandeliers have become another of my recent decor obsessions, it wasn’t hard to love this gorgeous vintage fixture restored by Zia & Tia.
I know I’ve said it a million times: shabby chic isn’t my style. However, I imagine I have more than a few readers who love the flowers and glam that come with it, so this one is for you.
Personally, I can visualize this being the classic, traditional exclamation point on an ultra-modern living room in white, stainless steel and shades of blue. My husband doesn’t necessarily agree, but if he could see the picture in my mind, he’d love it too.

Furniture, Resurrected: Spruce Vintage Home Furnishings
When my husband and I look at pictures from our childhood, its hard not to laugh. We all know that the 80s is a fashion decade that never should have happened. Overalls (What were we? Farmers?), Cross Colors outfits, huge earrings and hair styles…It’s a wonder those photos haven’t been burned already.
Thankfully, home furnishings are more forgiving — and you don’t have to wear them in public. Vintage pieces have a way of giving a room character — not to mention the fact that you’re saving them from the landfill. It vintage charm is what you’re looking for, the ladies of Spruce have got your number.
