Recently someone asked me what my style is. I’m not sure how to answer this simply. I like a lot of different styles, but never one by itself. I like the unexpected. There is nothing necessarily wrong with a space that is uniform-It’s just expected. Our eye can easily move while we are observing. But the unexpected gets our attention. Our eye gets caught and stops. This is why juxtaposition works.  It makes us stop and think. We no longer are just bystanders. Our minds are engaged and inspired.
jux·ta·po·si·tion
noun
the fact of two things being seen or placed close together with contrasting effect.
Nothing creates interest, adds depth, richness and character the way a vintage item does. There seems to be a plethora of mass produced goods. What is the draw? Who wants a copy cat look? Vintage gives a raw, authentic feel that is not produced by goods from big box stores. Ditch the mundane for something more.

Vintage Modern At It's Best!
The German WMF Tile Trivet arrived yesterday and I just love it! Such a fun and modern red and gray design and the tile is set off so nicely with the silver frame. The trivet was wrapped well and shipped quickly. Thank you!
