marine screen in the living room


marine screen in the living room

i'm an unabashed lover of the sea and all that goes along with it, and i adore old things, so i'm always so happy to find something really special that reflects both these mild obsessions . . . so when i wandered in to my favorite secondhand shop the other day and spied this amazing old screen, i had to bring it home. and it inspired a quick restyling in the living room -- since my workroom is jammed full of samples and fabrics and tile and treasures, i've put my desk here in our otherwise slightly underused living room -- and i'm always happy to have a fresh, new, and inspiring look in here. i shop like mad for myself and design clients in consignment stores, antique shops, and flea-market-y places; they're where you'll find the unique, the spectacular, the downright divine pieces that will make your spaces shine - and the price and environmental impact are minimal, too.
all good news :)

happy secondhand shopping!

    The screen is beautiful! It looks great on the mantle. I love shopping second hand. I have found the most amazing high quality clothing at the local thrift store. Whenever I have time to browse, I make the trip there!
