I fell in love with a blue chair last Fall. The Savoy Flea posted it to her Instagram and the velvet goodness caught my eye...my heart skipped a beat. A couple of months later, I made my way down to the shop. The entire drive into the city I wondered if the pretty blue peacock chair had sold...I rang the bell, walked in, and finally saw h[...]
When Marianne Brown emailed me out of the blue and said, "Hey, my home is unique, cool, and eclectic, would you like to feature it on your blog?" I said, "Heck ya I would! Home tours are hella fun." Why do I like featuring homes that don't belong to me? If you guessed, "Kyla, you're that total weirdo that looks into homes on evening[...]
A while back, a group of us talked about how all the big wig sites post who to follow on Instagram if you love home decor. Ya, ya, we all know Emily Henderson's Insta feed is fabulous. And how could we ever forget about Design Sponge? Oh, and always include SFGIRLBYBAY for some serious California chic eye candy. Don't get me wrong, I l[...]
Happy Thursday! Erica Reitman, The Design Ninja Extraordinaire, is stopping over today to talk about how to start a collection. I don't know about you, but I've got a ton...trophies, indigo, navy books, vintage barware...errrrmmmm *cough* chairs...ya let's not go there. But sometimes it all goes in a box, and I never know what to do with[...]
Happy Wednesday! A couple of weeks ago Erica was snapping her "new" vintage interior design magazines, and I was drooling like a madwoman. Lucite, rattan, and glam, oh my! She clued me in on the fact that we are all obsessed over '70s design trends, and we didn't even know it. ERMERGERD!!!!! Seriously, she's so right! Don't believe me, re[...]
It's an exciting day here at House Of Hipsters. Today I'm revealing the living room design concepts, and I need your help. Hold up, are you asking yourself, "What are these design concepts you speak of?" Well, if you want the full monty, you can catch the instant replay over here on this post, but if not, here's the quick recap. So her[...]
If you've been watching my Snapchat ( @houseofhipsters ) or paying attention to my Instagram, you've seen quite a few sneak peeks of the new house...especially the dining room. What on Earth ever possessed me to begin designing that particular room is beyond me. Maybe it's because it was different? Something new? I mean, I've never had a[...]
In case you couldn't tell from my last post about brass lighting, I want to move sooooo badly. My brain has been on home decor overload (presently dining room interior design ideas have been top of mind), and I have the storage room to show for it...insert monkey covering its eyes emoji. The closing for the new house can't come soon enou[...]
Decorating with vintage home decor really shows off your personality...not to mention it can be easy on the wallet. But there's a fine line between staying in the now and time-warping back to The Brady Bunch. So how do you find that trending boho slash mid-century modern look and not have Marsha screaming, "Oh! My nose!" Updated Sept[...]
