Some new pottery pieces for our antique store! The above ones Christian & I sourced in New Zealand on the way traveling down to Dunedin! They are almost up on the store. I just got excited to share a blog post first :) I also included some other finds from Oregon we fell in love with! Pottery is such a beautiful way to style simple nooks. I also have some exciting news, that is we are moving at the end of the week. So we have been packing and refining all the antiques. I can't tell you how excited we are to switch up locations (the one we are currently in is leaking water), although to be honest, the excitement is more along the lines we get to style a house from scratch YYAYAYAY!!! All items from the 1924 antique store :) 

Stevie May x Elle-May

A small look book we created for Stevie May with some favorite 2018 pieces! They are based here in Australia & we had a lot of fun using the Australian landscapes / heritage buildings and  pubs! The designs all have these beautiful wraps and drapes signature to their style.  It has also been an incredible month and a half back home. Christian and I returned to the Sunshine Coast yesterday from an amazing trip down south with friends discovering Melbourne, Thredbo and some more of the southern coastline (the twelve apostles).  Now our time is almost up here for the start of the year, we will return to Portland by the end of the week (It has been some crazy traveling). I am motivated to set up the next snippet of a chapter, we have found some of our favorite antiques on this trip and are both over the moon to get them up on the store once we are back in Oregon! Happy new year for now you guys, I will see you sooooon <3

A weekend in Forks, Washington

IMG_1623.JPG

Eli & Lukas are friends from Prague who we happened to see TWICE this year. haha it fell by chance. This is a set of images we took a few weeks ago on our little weekend getaway to Washington :) (with stops in Forks, Ruby Beach & La Push). I had never seen any of these places before so it was beautiful to see the landscapes, forest and beach covered in a thick fog / ocean mist. 

You can see some of the images they were taking for a Portland based clothing store - Bridge & Burn, cuties!! Christian & I had also planned to set some more lifestyle shots up for the antique store on the beach!

Soft oversize Linen

IMG_1704.JPG

For the last few months, I’ve been living / traveling mainly in linen pieces, because they are just so comfortable! There are a few labels that specialize in one size fits all pieces and I really love these ones :) Sea side tones are a label who focus on the classic simplicity with a slight modern twist. They give off a beach / luxury feel with pre-softened linens, which feel amazing! Here is a little set of images we took in New Zealand amongst the beautiful mountains cape of Milford sound!

Lifestyle of 1924us

2B5F6FA8-C0F4-4E41-B639-2EC71372FB18.JPG

Over the last few months, Christian & I have been in the works of beginning the the new section in the 1924 antique store for Women! This gave us both the drive to start photographing the antiques in a way that reflected lifestyle set ups. Both to inspire people (to see the items in a practical and beautiful light), and also for ourselves to be more creative with the pieces and work with the potential of not just what the items were in the past, or what they were created for, but what they could be used for today! It also gave us the idea to totally move houses, but lets not go into this now! SO the store has been going for quite some time, Christian has quite the large, curated and treasured section of pieces that take you back to WW2, WW1, early settlers, the 1920's, even native American. Basically they cover a large range. However we saw the need to curate some more feminine items, to be used for styling the home / workspace and for practical use.

 

I have always had a soft spot for french simplicity. Items that were used in the farm houses, weaved, clay, wood, brass, copper items, and of course clothing. Mainly linens, hemps and cottons. On our last trip to Paris together we, of course, found ourselves in the flea market with some good friends sifting through the timeless beautiful items and deciding what was appropriate to take back to Oregon with us as additions to the store. The pieces in the store truly do come from places far and wide. We are truly passionate and are convinced each piece has a charm all of it's own worth a place in somebodies creative vision for a space. Weather it stays with us for a long time or goes to you. We hope you enjoy the gallery :)

Son de Flor ~ For Winter

IMG_1649.JPG

I've had the honor to work with a favorite label again, Son de Flor. I was introduced to them at the beginning of this year, when I noticed their collard button up dresses (similar to this black one). They have the ability to take you through a time portal. All their styles are classic, modest and simple. They also create petticoats for extra warmth and layers.  My personal style and inspiration for dressing comes strongly from the 1800's, or at least I like to pull elements from this era for styling :) So basically I am in love with the way they design their pieces.  I hope you guys can get some inspiration also. Thank you to Christian (1924.us) & Hannah (Demurela)  for the photography.
