after we move in to our new place, i’ll have a set of stairs that lead nowhere other than my very own lofted studio space. since the entire area will be dedicated to creativity, i’m thinking about doing something inspirational to the staircase itself. you know, something to get my creative juices flowing before i even arrive.  i love how sarah over at sarah moore vintage wallpapered these stairs using scraps of vintage wallpaper she’d collected over the years. though it’s a busy look, i think the style and colors really pull together to give it lots of sweet character. doing a simple search for ‘wallpapered stairs’ will quickly give you a glance at all the possibilities a little wallpaper can provide!

three potato four is the online version of that store you’d love to get lost in. wandering around nostalgic to times long ago, feeling your way through one decade at a time. it’s the kind of store where david would drop me off, then go for a 4 hour bike ride before returning to pick me up. i love how eclectic the findings are and that they change so frequently, nearly every item is one of kind! head on over to three potato four to discover more vintagey-goodness!

i find ruche’s jewelry to be sweet, subtle and just my style. with little touches of vintage accents, they give just the right amount of punch. i have been especially fond of this teal blue and soft pink lately. swoon.

one of my dear friends recently gave me a vintage kantha quilt, and i have been curled up underneath it ever since! kantha quilts are one of a kind blankets hand-sewn by artisans in india. each of them are pieced together using vintage saris, which gives them an already ‘worn in’ soft and flowy feel. the perfect throw to use for naps and movie cuddling!

here are a few of my favorite places to find them:

- connected fair trade (pictured above)
- amber interiors
- etsy
- niki jones

i’ve been oohing and ahhing over these crocheted circle placemats ever since i saw them on domestic peacock. though they remind me of a dottie angel project, the pattern actually comes from another favorite blog, the purl bee. i want to place them on an old worn-in table made of barn wood, adorned with a modern and sleek white table setting- the center of which will be filled vintage milk glass vases and yellow daisies.

this little banner almost certainly caught my eye because of my recent addiction to downton abbey (i’ve even started talking like them!), but i think it’s a sweet sentiment and cute twist on traditional bunting. the vintage lithographed letters are made of enamel over steel and hung on rustic twine. i think it would be especially cute at a wedding, over a bed or above a picture wall!

welp, it’s happend. i’ve been bitten by the vintage trailer bug.

after seeing my friend allie’s almost-renovated teardrop trailer this past week, my obsession pretty much got set in stone. i’ve been scouring craigslist ever since (to no avail), and plan to search until i find one! my dream is to discover a diamond in the rough, canned ham type trailer, and refurb it back to life.

i’ve been pinning away a few of my favorite vintage campers as inspiration for the future, do you have any favorite retro trailers?

my vision is to one day pull a sweet little trailer behind us as we head out on our frequent cross-country adventures, bike races and occasional craft shows! are you seeing it? i can’t stop seeing it.
