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[...]
While meandering around the flea market a couple of months ago, I visited one of my favorite vendors. Since it was the last outdoor market of the season, this booth was filled with vintage treasures galore...but their Dorothy Draper dresser is what caught my eye. I'd been coveting one for years, but the price tag was always out of reach.[...]
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, r[...]
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 of the Design Off by clicking on that link, but if not, here's a qu[...]
If you've been watching my Snapchat 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 formal dining room be[...]
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[...]
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!" Easy, lea[...]
Last spring, I bought one of my first pieces of rattan furniture. What I like to call my entry-level step into the world of bohemian decor. Pretty soon, one rattan chair turned into two. Shortly after a side table arrived, followed by another. And after perusing Craigslist, my two chairs turned into three; only to be given the, "enough w[...]
Times up! Sound the alarm, the One Room Challenge final reveal deadline bell is ringing. Hands up. Put the decor down. Well kinda. It's the night before this post goes live, and I'm typing as fast as my little fingers can hit keys. I take that back, it's after midnight. But for all intents and purposes, this room is dunzo! Like many o[...]
