I find furniture and other home decor things all the time, no seriously all the time. It was to the point that my garage was stuffed to it's absolute max. I couldn't put another thing in it, yet I was constantly bring things home.  I found these. I wanted them bad. They were only $60 for all four. At the time all I could think about was how many other

I love a little extra glamour especially in the bathroom and The Luxe Axel with upholstered with faux alligator and nail heads is a wonderful way to create a contemporary bathroom. It's classic, glamorous and  adds a bit of

In the past I use to thrift just about every other day but for the past six seven months I have slacked up on buying. It's not fun anymore. Thrift stores have lost their minds and have forgotten their places. They have things priced as if they are a regular retail store— anyways that's another blog post. Yesterday I felt like going to just look. Maybe I'd find something. Something out of the

With much thought and consideration chic modern vintage is moving. Moving will provide a much better  experience via all mobile devices. This means our blog posts will be limited until the new site is up and running smoothly. In the meantime you can follow me via twitter where I dish regular chit-chat on anything from my pet peeves to gorgeous decor to food— you just never know,

Spring has sprung and I've gotten into full gear with trying to get the interior of the house painted. We decided to start with one of the small bedrooms, which happened to be packed to the gills with clothes. Don't know how that happened with just two teeny tiny closets? We would have had this done, but when you  have hundreds of colors to choose from it's hard. We decided to go with

Hans Wegner is one of the biggest names in the world of designer furniture and he was responsible for some of the most iconic and eye-catching pieces of furniture of the 20th century. He was responsible for the creation of well over 500 varieties of chair and it is this type of furniture, in particular, that he is famed for. Born in Denmark in 1914, he enjoyed a long career in furniture

Remember a while back when I told you Peacock Alley asked me to participate in their designer challenge? Well if you follow me on twitter or if you've met me in person then you know I can talk yet I was sweatin' bullets this particular day. I couldn't even talk on camera. Peacock Alley has a gorgeous array of luxury bedding to choose from and it was really difficult to choose. So, take a

Clothes shopping is an activity that most men do not enjoy. It can be cumbersome process that takes a lot longer than it should in the eyes of the average man. However, men do need clothes just as much as women do. The good news is that men clothing doesn't have to cost too much, even in the winter. The Holiday Season Means Deep Discounts Are Available The holiday rush is over us

In August I paid a visit to Atlanta, Georgia (proper). I have friends there I hadn't seen in a while, one being Lo. I've known her since kindergarten. Yet we've kept in touch off and on throughout the years. Lo traveled often so I didn't get to see her as much as I would have liked. I had two small children and travel was not in my vocabulary, but we caught up for lost time. Almost like we had

When I started this blog little did I know the twist and turns, the people I would meet and various opportunities I'd be afforded. Though I haven't been blogging long, I have enough sense to know a lot of things have changed. In the beginning I thought I'd just show you guys all my little thrifty finds, maybe do a few DIYs here and there. That became difficult because I am so

I was recently asked by Peacock Alley to create my dream bed along with Abbe Fenimore, Suzan Davidson and Joslyn Taylor. Since my personal decor style is very eclectic. I wanted to create a look that was so far removed from my own personal style and

Ahhhh, I made it home......well not exactly but that is exactly how you feel when you drive up to Blueprint. A gorgeous 1920ish home houses this quaint shop. Don't you love the blue doors? They make a statement of what is to come once you're inside. What a warm and welcoming entrance as you come through those lovely blue doors. I could just drop my keys and my bag

And for those of you that know me, my subject of today had to be colors :) For those of you that don't know me,  Scandinavian Chic is all about what's Scandinavian and Chic - from a maximalistic and colorful point of view. Colors usually bring life to a home, but they can also make it disharmonious and "noisy". There's several ways and

A big thank-you Tonia for inviting me to moonlite this Monday. I am thrilled to be a guest at Chic Modern Vintage as I too love stylish frugal living. I thought I would share what I am most passionate about: decor and design but especially DIY.

Hello, and happy Valentines day! I want to start off by saying thank you to Tonia for having me over to moonlight on her blog today.

Thank you so much Tonia for inviting me to stop by Chic Modern Vintage this week.  I have been busy the past few weeks working on a number of projects at home.  I recently did a cross-country move from San Francisco to Philadelphia, and am now in the process of decorating a whole new space.  As much as I love decor and styling - I mean, it's what I do for textile company - the

Living in New York city is wonderful, but it presents all sorts of challenges when it comes to space. When my husband and I were decorating our loft we had to meld two very similar, yet different aesthetics. We both love the beauty and sleekness of modern Italian furniture and décor, but personally, I like a little touch of glam. Sometimes I wonder if I was a Disco Queen in another life
