There are many interesting details in this repurposed hutch. The use of chalk board paint is trendy. It helps keep the piece loose, but the overall look is not messy. The creamy fabric insert gathered at the top and bottom of each opening creates soft structure without being stiff and formal.

A Garden To Remember

This sweet, artisan made soft burlap pillow is full of texture and charm!

Restoration Hardware

After my seminar, I scooted over to see what's the latest trends were at Restoration Hardware. They are definitely showcasing printed burlap pillows. You can't miss them, because they are displayed front and center when you enter their store. They have also introduced more furniture in the repurposed style, like this coffee table that looks like a cart or wagon. I checked their paint area and there is nothing new, but maybe something is brewing for the future.

Trendy vintage Paris in a loose and relaxed style.

When a home is going to be torn down, salvaging interesting architectural items is a way to preserve craftsmanship that is no longer available. It is also kinder to our environment.

Often you can buy wonderful items at affordable prices at salvage warehouses, They are definitely worth a look. I shop everywhere, hey I like some of Kirkland's pieces, but to find something unique that is not cookie cutter mass produced has great appeal! For my personal spaces I prefer collecting interesting pieces over time.
