BEST Sale Yet! And Meet the Brass + Oak Babes!

Molly CarterComment

It’s about that time friends!! Our semi-annual floor sale is coming up next week on August 20th + 21st! We feel a little like a broken record but our sales just keep getting better and we are having so much fun getting everything together for our BEST sale yet!!

Our team of talented boss babes have been having a blast behind the scenes dreaming up fun discounts and details for the sale. Which reminded us that we haven’t properly introduced you to the team that keeps Brass + Oak fresh and fun and your favorite place to shop!!

Let’s start with our newest addition to the team, the lovely and sweet Ania (she says “like Tonya without the T.”) She’s such a great fit, it feels like she’s been here forever! Ania was born in Poland and lived in So Cal but is now loving our El Dorado County trees! She is a mom of three girls with a passion for fashion and design. Ania owns a sustainable vintage Instagram and Etsy shop and has a deep interest in classic literature and political science. She is an Army Veteran. We are loving her design eye and fun vintage fashions in the shop - she’s currently around Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays so pop in for some serious outfit goals!!

We asked Ania to pick her favorite item that will be available for our upcoming sale. Without hesitation, she took us to her absolute favorite piece on the floor - the gorgeous Rothco chair. This beauty has luxe and durable leather fabrication, beautiful details, and it swivels!! Functional, so stylish, and fun . . . if you love it like Ania does, do NOT hesitate. This chair is going to find a home quickly and so we encourage you to come on down to the shop prior to the sale with measurements and pictures of your space. Do you have the perfect throw pillow? Bring it down and make sure it works prior to the craziness of the sale.

You may recognize Marie from our social media stories and posts. She is our fantastic new shop manager and we are thanking our lucky stars for her! Marie also owns her own Etsy shop (loving the creativity from our team) where she sells her handmade macrame/fiber art. Marie loves bluegrass and southern gothic country music. She is big on camping and kayaking and loves shopping for vintage goods! Marie is fun, smart, and just so cool. Our customers have been loving her and we are enjoying the fun and happy vibe she’s brought to the shop!

Marie’s sale pick is a lot like Marie - fun, gorgeous, and fabulous - the Skylar accent chair! This floor sample is neutral and comfy but with absolutely luxurious gold legs. It’s truly a mix of California cool and sophisticate elegance. And even better? The fabric on the Skylar is “KID-PROOF” a signature performance fabric that our Rowe line of upholstery offers which repels stains and makes spot treating a breeze! Just like the rest of the pieces, we know you all will love her and she’s going to be in high demand.

Meet Jamie! She’s the voice and photographer behind the scenes and takes care of the social media and marketing arenas for the shop. Jamie is a baseball and yoga-obsessed mom of 3 boys who loves the chance to share all the amazing things going on at Brass + Oak. Jamie and her family are San Diego transplants and who bought their dream A-frame in Camino in January. She loves hiking, paddle-boarding, reading, live music, cooking and WINE . . . you can see why El Dorado county has been a fantastic fit!

Jamie’s pick for the sale is a little different - she is all about those gorgeous rugs! She actually ordered an amazing custom rug from the January floor sale and now has her eye on a few of our one of a kind vintage rugs that are going to be discounted with the sale . . . and maybe a performance runner or two to keep those boys from sliding down the hallways during Camino snowstorms! She loves the unique details that come with the vintage area rugs and will be joining you all in line for the sale Friday morning!

And you all know and love her, she needs no introduction . . . Molly is the heart of Brass + Oak. Our ambitious boss babe and mama to be, Molly is a beloved local Interior Designer and the owner of B+O. Molly is a hometown girl - she grew up locally before spending many years living and working in California’s most energetic and inspiring cities - Los Angeles & San Francisco. She returned to Placerville bringing her concept of high design and an ultrachic aesthetic. Molly is married to Ben, owner of Placerville’s beloved Heyday Cafe and they have been getting all the parenting practice in with two cutest Boston Terriers - Hudson and Revere.

Brass + Oak is a unique retail experience - an opportunity to shop the high-end furniture, lighting, rugs, and accessories that Molly sources in her design projects. And next week our lucky customers will score amazing deals and finds as we make room in the shop for all new pieces coming!

Molly’s pick for the sale is an easy one - she already has it in her home! Molly and Ben love the Bradford sofa and since they are both taller, the higher seat with the foam cushion make it easier to get up . . . without sacrificing comfort as the Bradford has a down back. It has a beautiful swooped arm and is a slipcover also in the signature “KID-PROOF” fabric so it’s not only beautiful but easy to take care of. Do not sleep of this pick - we are so excited to offer you this beloved piece at an unheard of discount!

We can’t wait to see you all at the sale next week. Don’t forget August 20+21st. HUGE DISCOUNTS. Every item on sale. A celebration of our small business and local support. An opportunity for our customers to shop designer curated furniture and accents without the extremely long wait times that are plaguing every industry. We know you are going to love this best sale yet!

June is here . . . Father's Day Gifts!

Molly CarterComment

Happy June - summer came in HOT this year! It’s been awesome to see your smiling faces on Main Street and we are so thrilled to see so many new businesses arriving and some of our favorites expanding and refreshing as we look forward to a fun summer in Placerville. We have a lot going on at Brass + Oak too that we are excited to share with you.

It’s time to talk Father’s Day! We all are so grateful for the awesome dads who have truly brought their a-game this year through the ups and downs of distance learning, cancelled plans, and extra time at home. We know you are too so let’s show them some love with a thoughtful gift he’ll get a ton of use out of.

We have incredible items to stock his bar - from bar tool sets and recipe books to actual barstools and a bar cart, we’ve got every single thing he could want! Ice molds are very popular for guys who like to drink scotch and bourbon. Carry on cocktail kits are cute for a plane trip but also useful for camping or tailgating. We have gorgeous new wine keys and bottle coasters for the wine-loving dad, make sure you pick up a local El Dorado County wine to go with. And whether he’s got one or not, we think a new gorgeous cocktail shaker is always useful if he’s a mixologist.

Our hand-made in Los Angeles line of games and trays are still getting so much love in the shop and they are disappearing quickly!! The husband and wife team behind these gorgeous items really get the young hip dad - who doesn’t love corn-hole, dominos, backgammon? These items are not only gorgeous, they are functional and sustainably made. The paint won’t fade in the sun on the corn-hole and the board games come in the cutest and most functional little boxes that are fantastic for camping, the pool, or sticking in his suitcase for any summer travel.

We just got in a large restock of denim aprons with some new styles available - nothing screams dad loves to bbq more than a dark denim apron with pockets for all his tools. But not only did we get three different styles of aprons (ladies do not miss out on the fantastic midi denim apron style,) but we also got the greatest little pot-holder ends perfect for cast iron camping or grill pans. Our denim placemats look amazing on both indoor and outdoor tables BUT our absolute favorite item that just arrived are our new denim log carrying bags! These will be fantastic later this year when the temps go back down but for now, these are amazing for campfires or fire-pits in the backyard . . . we can smell the s’mores already!

We have so many amazing gifts - charcuterie boards, our leather woven poufs, picture frames and so much more. We can help you order custom furniture and rugs. Or we can help you put together a basket of all his favorite things. Or if you are stumped, everyone appreciates a gift card! Swing by and let us give you some ideas!

Memorial Day - let's BBQ!

Molly CarterComment

Can you believe summer is right around the corner?! School is winding down and the temps are going UP! We’ve loved chatting with you all popping by to pick up Teachers & Grad gifts. It’s clear we all have a very happy summer on the brain and we have some fantastic new finds in the shop to get it started out right!

Memorial Day is coming quickly - May 31st is right around the corner and there is nothing better to start the summer out right than a BBQ with friends. Get started planning by sprucing up your outdoor space - a new table runner, an outdoor rug, some bright and fun vases go a long way to make dining al fresco a more elegant and fun experience. Don’t forget to update your placemats, serving platters, and glassware - we have some amazing decanters and charcuterie boards that will compliment a beautiful meal outside.

It’s not summer without some serious fun and we are so excited about the newest items that just arrived in the shop. Perfect for BBQs, we are so in love with our amazing new corn hole sets! Everyone’s favorite outdoor party game got a chic makeover and comes in a black and white or vibrant fun mod print. We also have backgammon, dominos, mancala, trays, and coasters in so many fun prints that give us all the feels! All of these items are handmade in LA with an eye on sustainability and eco-kindness. We can’t wait to see pics of these beauties stealing the show at all your summer events!

When getting your space get-together ready do not forget a well stocked bar! It might seem like some margaritas or wine spritzers are all you need but don’t underestimate the fun and functionality of a beautiful cocktail set, some french linen napkins, a funky wine opener, or important tools like muddlers and shakers. We have new items for the bar arriving daily and if you have trouble finding a home for these important hosting items, don’t stress - we have the world’s cutest bar cart to save the day! Need some cocktail inspo? We’ve got several amazing cocktail books with incredible recipes that are also too pretty to not display!

Finally for those of you lucky ones who get to attend a summer BBQ at someone else’s home, pick up a beautiful vase or basket for a plant as a host’s gift. It lasts longer than a bottle of wine and you are sure to be invited back!

Mother's Day 2021

Molly CarterComment

If you are anything like us, you are feeling relieved, excited, and overwhelmed as we return to our new “normal.” Daily we start to reopen schools and sports, shopping and dining, and there are constant little signs that life is coming back at us. . . quickly! But also if you are like us, you are feeling a ton of gratitude for those who carried us through this last year; zooming and punting with each new change and keeping things as normal as possible so that families and businesses could keep up with the constant change and our families could continue to thrive. We love you moms!

It’s time to spoil her! Boy does she deserve it. We want to celebrate all she has carried you through this year, but also the fact that hosting and FUN that we’ve craved and waited forever for are now rapidly approaching. We may be biased but we think she is going to love this return to normal and the many ways you can love on her and celebrate all the things that we’ve been waiting for.

Interested? Stumped? We got you! Check out social media, pop into the shop and chat with us, or shoot us a message to take advantage of our expertise and make sure she feels as loved and appreciated as she deserves this year. We are pretty darn good at putting together sweet gift baskets that honor her passions and interests and a friendly reminder that both Teacher’s Appreciation Week and Nurses Appreciation Week are both celebrated the first 2 weeks of May as well. Consider grouping a few of your faves together to give her something she truly wants and values over the boring Starbucks gift card. We know you know she deserves it.

xoxo,

Fa La La La La Shop Small Holiday Gift Guide

Molly Carter1 Comment
Sylvie Photo

Attention! Christmas is approaching at a rapid pace and with small businesses being the most impacted by the pandemic, we want to take this time to give back. Did you know that 67 cents per dollar stays local when you shop small? This means that for every dollar you spend locally, at a small business, 67 cents goes back into that local community — benefiting parks, schools, museums, libraries and so much more! This is a really big deal and a really important thing. The economy is already being impacted in a million ways, so use these holidays to give back to your community and at the same time get amazing, personal gifts for your friends and family.

With that being said we created a gift guide to help you with the hardest part… We know holiday shopping can be a little bit hectic and overwhelming at times. We want to make it easier for you, so we put together this gift guide of all our favorite products in store to make shopping a breeze!

New Furniture Drop!

Molly CarterComment

“Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.” — F. Scott Fitzgerald

Anyone else starting to feather your nest for fall? Well now is the PERFECT time to invest in any new furniture for your home. For those who don’t already know, you can buy furniture off our floor, or you have the option to place a special order for upholstery if you want the option to customize your dream piece— whether you’re in the market for a new sofa, sectional, ottoman or accent chair!

I will be sharing some of the fun, new pieces that just hit our floor and also go over the selection process so you know what to expect when looking to furnish your space.

IMG_3898.JPG

New Accent Chairs!

We love picking out new fabrics for new pieces of furniture we order for the shop. We really try to pick fabrics that can work for many different styles, but we also try to pick fun + unique colors and patterns that fit our store vibe and our 4 store design styles:

California Casual

Modern Mountain

Mid-Century Modern

Classic Lux

We love pushing the envelope when it comes to design and showing our clients how they can add a little bit of color to their space, whether that be through the fabrics they choose, area rugs or throw pillows. A pop of color, texture, and warmth in fabric can completely transform a space. As you scroll through this blog see if you can point out the different styles mentioned above. Note: You might notice more than 1 piece can be fitting for more than 1 design style.

New Month, New Furniture, New Everything!

IMG_5853 2.JPG

This white sofa is the slipcovered Bradford sofa with a bench style cushion. (trust me, I know what you’re thinking…”There is NO WAY I can have a white sofa in my house”. But, have you ever heard of ‘Kid-proof’ fabrics? Kid Proof was literally created with the modern family in mind.

Come check out first hand the largest selection of performance fabrics in the market that not only focus on durability, but clean-ability and beauty as well. We have such a great selection to choose from for anyone who is worried about spills and being able to easily clean up any messes on the fly.

Want a slipcover that you can throw in the wash yourself? Ask us about our ‘Washable’ slipcover options!

Tired of your ole coffee table? Or want something that can also be used as a cocktail table? Check out the Juno ottoman that just hit our floor. We are IN LOVE! Don’t like the fabric, choose between the 800+ options we have in shop! The options are endless.

IMG_3930.JPG

Here is two of our absolute favorite pieces: the Miles ottoman and Rothko swivel leather chair currently sitting in our retail window. The Rothko is one of our most popular swivel chairs and in this leather, she’s a stunner! You sit in this chair and instantly will not want to get up, its that cozy!

The miles ottoman is also a fan favorite. It comes in two sizes, this is the smaller version. We had in it leather that we absolutely loved, and since it went to it’s forever home, we knew we wanted to bring it back! This time we decided to pick a fun yet neutral plaid fabric for ya’ll to see.

Come prepared + we’ll help with the rest!

When looking for new furniture, it’s super helpful if you bring the following with you: photos, dimensions and any accent pillows or existing color-pallets you’ll be working with. This will help us get an idea of your existing space and offer you the best options for your lifestyle.

Now, let’s create that dream sofa or dream chair you’ve always wanted.

STYLE. Determine what style you prefer. Upholstered or slipcovered? Washable? Round arm or straight arm? You have the ability to customize style aspects to suit your needs.

FABRIC. I know it can be overwhelming when looking at fabrics, but we can help you narrow it down pretty quickly just by learning more about your lifestyle, whether you have kids, fur babies, husbands, or any other factors that play a major role in your life at home. Velvet, linen, cotton, suede… nearly 1000 sumptuous custom fabrics are at your fingertips. Whether your design style is modern, casual or transitional - we have a fabric for you! 

We can also order you free fabric swatches that you can take home and see how they would look like in your space and in your own lighting.

CUSTOM OPTIONS. You also have the option to choose what kind of seat you prefer (2-seat or bench seat), cushion type, wood finish, and nailhead if applicable.

Have I mentioned all custom furniture is made in the USA? You heard that right. Right now, due to COVID, special orders are taking roughly 14-16 weeks for production so if you’re wanting new furniture for the new year, now is the perfect time to start the selection process. Feel free to make an appointment with us or stop by anytime during normal business hours.

We’ll leave you with some of our new fav fabrics/pallets to drool over! And if you need help designing more of your space, we can also help you select area rugs, lighting + wallpaper!

Turn your Backyard into an Oasis

Molly CarterComment

It is officially summer y’all! Since this summer might be feeling a little different than most, we wanted to get you inspired and give you some exciting ideas for how you can turn your backyard into a summer oasis! All of you who had trips planned and you had to cancel, or events that got postponed, now is the time you can make your own backyard a beautiful safe haven: a place of security, peace and comfort and one that brings a smile to your face. And when you need to escape from your new “work from home life” or decompress from any stressors in the world around you, you have a beautifully curated space right at your footsteps. 

IMG_4674.jpg

In this blog we will be showing you how you can use some of our favorite summer products to create a cozy outdoor oasis with a fun tablescape, our fav poolside + picnic products, bar cart essentials, and tools for the king or queen of the grill!

Summer Tablescape

Ahhh, eating outside on beautiful summer nights are our favorite. Just something about the fresh air, cool breeze and watching California sunsets after a yummy meal. We thought it would be fun to show you how you can pair different items together to create a fun + simple tablescape. Here we used some of our favorite table settings, including these white linen placemats paired with these black fringed trivets, and our favorite denim napkins. So much good texture! And what about these stools? I feel like they compliment these fringe trivets perfectly! We also used this amazing deep acacia bowl for our salad with some antique bronze salad utensils.

Added some bright flowers in our white color block vase and we were ready to pour a glass of wine and enjoy some appetizers!

Tabletop Products:

Sittin’ Poolside

You guys, we have SO MANY good beach/bath towels right now! We had to showcase these beauties for you all to see! These are great for sitting by the pool or even throwing in your hiking or beach bag. The turkish towels are lightweight so they can even be used as a blanket or scarf.

We also wanted to show how adorable these brim hats are. They are the perfect size to help keep your face shaded on sunny days and goes with just about any outfit! Can also be used as wall decor to add some character to your space. 

Add a tray, basket and some sunnies and you are ready for a day full of sunshine + vitamin D.

Poolside Products:

Picnic Picks

I think picnics are a past time that should never go out of style. Especially nowadays, you don’t have to go far to enjoy some yummy cheese and wine. You can do something low-key in your own backyard. And that is just what we did last weekend. Warning: You might spot a little boston terrier in a pic or two. He was loving the Turkish towel and being our model for the evening.

The bigger the picnic blanket, the better! So we chose to use two of our favorites: a round Turkish towel and this bold Moroccan rug! This rug would be perfect for a group of people, big enough to lay down and get comfortable or if its just a picnic for two, this Turkish round towel would do.

Picnic Essentials:

Bar Cart Essentials

Whether you like to enjoy an occasional cocktail or host get togethers at your home, you can’t beat a well stocked bar or better yet, a mobile bar cart! To style this brass bar cart, we added some of our favorite items from the shop that can not only be enjoyed during summer but all year around.

What you need to get started:

Grillin’ Time

Who doesn’t love some good barbecue? BBQ chicken, corn on the cob, kabobs, stuffed peppers. I could do this all day. But seriously, yummy summer recipes make me do a little happy dance inside. Some of our favorite kitchen accessories are part of this denim collection — vintage denim aprons, pot holders, oven mitts and placemats. Denim is so versatile and can be worn by men and women.

Another hot item in our shop are these handheld porcelain spice grinders. They are perfect for making those homemade spice blends, allowing you to control the fineness of your rub. A pair of terrazzo cellars also make a great addition to your kitchen/grillin’ tools. They are the perfect pair pinch pots for your salt and pepper or any other seasonings you use on the regular.

BBQ Tools:


Thank you for reading our summer blog for the month of July! We hope we gave you some inspiration and creative ways you can turn your backyard into a summer oasis, and a place of happiness during these summer months while at home or in your own backyard. Have a happy fourth of July!

Give your Bathroom a Refresh

Budget- Friendly Bathroom Refresh

#quarantineprojects

IMG_2129.jpeg

Hi Brass + Oak Fam!

I think we can all agree home is our happy place. It always has been, but especially now more than ever. Given that we have been social distancing ourselves for the past 2 months, this was the perfect time to take advantage of my husband to help me with some home improvement projects. So we decided to give our bathroom a budget-friendly refresh! Mind you, our home was built in the 1970’s so any upgrades to our space makes a HUGE difference.

I though it would be fun to share one of our favorite quarantine projects with you and hopefully provide some inspiration incase you have been thinking about giving your space a refresh. All decor used to style this space was from our retail shop! This vintage kilim bath mat has sold BUT we will be getting more in shortly, so keep your eyes open + we will keep you posted as soon as they hit our floors! Styling Tip: Vintage kilim rugs make GREAT bath mats. They are 100% wool so super easy to clean!

DSC01806.jpg

A little paint, new hardware, paired with some beautiful decor is really all we needed for this mini makeover - besides a little shiplap, new countertop, sink + faucet. If you would like to know more details about these items we picked out, feel free to leave any questions in the comments below =)

One day I would love to fully renovate this bathroom and do some serious demo, but for now, I am very happy with the progress we have made. This vanity is SO old ya’ll. I can’t tell you how many times I have painted this thing. But when you’re ballin on a budget, its amazing what some fresh paint can do!

I decided to brighten up this space with some white walls, paint the vanity black for some contrast and add some simple modern matte black handles to help make this vanity look a little less ancient. Later down the road I would love to put some black hexagon tile in here and resurface these cabinets! Wouldn’t that look amazing?

Here you can see the shiplap wall we added behind the vanity and behind the toilet, which is adjacent to this wall you see here. I originally really wanted to find some fun, bold, tropical wallpaper for this small space but was having a hard time finding vinyl wallpaper I liked. And since we currently do not have a fan in this bathroom with good circulation, I really needed vinyl to guarantee it wouldn’t peel from any moisture. So shiplap it was! These are actually MDF boards from Home Depot. Much cheaper than the other stuff and didn’t require us to sand— which saved us lots of time.

We also decided to go with a white vessel sink and matte black faucet we found from Build.com. I have to say, I think this is my favorite part besides decorating— is picking out accessories and hardware! It can really add so much character and your personality into your space, depending on what mood or style you are trying to create.

DSC01835.JPG

Keeping the counter as clutter free as possible, I used this wood tray as a base for my hand soap, jewelry dish, and cute little bud vase. Bud vases are great fillers and help add height when needed and also a great way to add some greenery or dried florals which can bring so much life into your space.

DSC01819.JPG

And lastly, above the new toilet I added our most famous scented soy candle with a pair of our funny matchboxes. If you have ever walked into the shop and wondered why it smells so good, this is our secret! A blend of bergamot + geranium essential oils! Be sure to check our the rest of our matchboxes as well. They will give you a good giggle =)

TA-DA! I hope you enjoyed this month’s blog on how I gave my small guest bath a mini-refresh! We would love to hear of any quarantine projects you completed during this time. And if you need any fresh decor for your space, you know where to find us! We are open regular business hours: Monday-Saturday 10:30-6pm OR feel free to shop online and schedule a curbside pickup!

Shelf Styling Essentials

Molly Carter2 Comments
IMG_2660.jpg

Is your space feeling a little under the weather from the winter months? We’ve got you covered! What better way to spruce up your home, then to give your shelves a Spring refresh! Styling shelves can be a little intimidating, but with these simple steps and by adding some great elements, you can easily achieve gorgeous shelves every time!

STEP ONE: START WITH A BLANK CANVAS

Whenever I’m doing any type of spring cleaning or restyling to my space, this is a great time to remove everything off your shelves, give it a good cleaning and rock out to some of your fav jams in the meantime! No one’s judging…unless you have fur babies like I do.


STEP TWO: GATHER YOUR LIKE COLORED ITEMS

When you’re clearing off your shelves, this is a perfect time to group your like colored items together. Find any similarities in the colors and textures. This will help when you’re ready to start restyling, I promise! To creative a cohesive color pallet, it’s best to stick to using 2 or 3 colors. Below you will notice I stuck to white, natural wood and really used to green shelf to compliment these colors.


IMG_2664.jpg

STEP THREE: START PLACING YOUR BIG ITEMS FIRST

Add height. You want your shelves to be balanced! You can use frames or artwork. Books are great for this too— and you can easily stack them if you need more dimension. Our go-to items that you can find in our shop are these awesome serving bowls + charcuterie boards! These are perfect for adding organic elements and texture with the natural wood. And, when you’re not using them to style, you can use them in your kitchen when you need to entertain.

We also have amazing ceramic and/or glass vases that would work as a great base to your shelf as well!


IMG_2663.jpg

STEP FOUR: START FILLING IN THE BLANKS

Now you can build around your big items. Also be mindful you are spreading your like colored items throughout your shelves. You don’t want all your white or all your black pieces combined together. This is where you can also play around with creating dimension— having various sizes grouped together. Aim to keep your groupings to three or two items, or one big item.

You can find perfect little bud vases at our shop that make styling your shelves super easy, and can be used in any room of your home.


IMG_2661.jpg

STEP FIVE: ADD SOME LIFE!

Whether you want some pops of greenery or need more color, adding plants, flowers or even simple twigs to your vases is a perfect way to showcase your personality and taste! Dried eucalyptus is our FAVORITE! And so versatile. We basically keep any dried flower or twig that can survive without H2O and reuse for styling any vases we want to bring to life! And if you don’t have enough natural light in your given space, faux is a great option as well!


IMG_2660.jpg

So there you have it. No matter your style, by following these quick and easy steps, you can work on achieving a shelf you love! I hope you found this blog helpful and I would love to see your shelfie refresh for Spring! Feel free to share and tag us on Instagram =)

All products used in this tutorial can be purchased right here in our shop!

February might be the shortest month of the year, but it is also known for being one of the most popular holiday’s — Valentines Day!

Spring Refresh

Molly CarterComment

Who else loves a good home refresh?

Spring is the time of year when the sun shines a little more, birds are chirping, and you take care of that much needed refresh for the home. We did just that in the shop! And we have to share all our spring/ summer favorite items in the shop. It’s important to move from the dreary dark tones and experiment with fun pops of colors and textures.

7123FB79-D125-4093-B61F-D9115B328D9D.JPG

Anyone else wanting a little update for their home? We got you covered.

It’s important to move from the dreary dark tones and experiment with fun pops of colors and textures. One of the ways we love to update and style a bedroom or seating area is with pillows. We recently received a large shipment of indigo dyed pillows and pillows made from vintage fabric that are sure to bring character and charm to any space. 

We’ll always love our African Mud Cloth pillows because they provide a great option for layering patterns. We have so many styles in store right now that would look beautiful placed on a sofa in the living room or a chair in the bedroom.

IMG_6888.jpg

Another great home accessory we love to style a space with are baskets. From giant natural textured baskets with leather handles to small belly baskets with tassel detailing. The great thing about baskets is that they bring a very relaxed California style to the home. The natural fibers are warm and invite the outdoor texture in. Other than the obvious aesthetics that are created with the natural look of baskets, they also make for great storage. Extra pillows or throws can easily be tossed in a basket and styled aside a sofa or chair.

Last but not least, our favorite, the bar-cart. Yes, we know that the beloved bar-cart is sure to make an appearance in the summer months but the sunshine calls for a nice cocktail or two. We love the chic put together feel that a bar-cart brings to the home. Not to mention, it’s so darn fun to piece together. We have such cool items to pop into your cart at home. Glass decanters bring an elegant minimalist style, while the handmade wooden muddlers make for a great conversational piece. And let’s face it, whatever it takes to muddle that lime into your mojito is all that matters!



IMG_6874.jpg

And of course, we can’t forget all the brass accessories your bar-cart needs and will love. We have super cool shakers, flasks, coasters and so much more in the shop to check out. Come by and have fun picking out all the spring accessories for entertaining this season.
