Yesterday I paid a visit to
Caravan, a shop I've been looking forward to visiting for quite sometime now. Stylist
Emily Chalmers, the very talented and lovely owner of Caravan, wrote my top favorite interior design book,
Flea Market Style, which I love so much and have read cover to cover at least a dozen times. I can't even express how excited I was to visit her shop and meet her in person! The white-washed shop is warm and inviting with curated touches of vintage treasures, candles in delicate
votives, and fresh flowers tucked here and there alongside the store merchandise. Caravan features a variety of delightful merchandise, some of which is quirky and fun like the
Lou Rota bug plates, some pretty and elegant like the brilliant silver and gold
metal roses, and some modern and functional like the colorful
Jielde lamps by Jean-Louis
Domecq. And much of what Emily carries is exclusive to Caravan, like those
Jielde lamps--Caravan is the primary UK representative for them. You can also pick up a signed copy of one of Emily's books:
Flea Market Style,
Contemporary Country, or
Table Inspirations. If you see something pictured here that isn't in the
online shop, Emily would be happy to email more pictures and information. Head over to
the shop and get some Caravan Style, and don't forget to pick up you own
cute little Caravan!

I was catching up on Emily's blog (Emily from Caravan) and saw her very own little adorable Caravan. I wish I could live in there! That buttery yellow color is one of my favorites. That sort of yellow was the color of the walls in almost every place I've lived. I love it with my other favorites, red, green, and royal blue. The color has an old country feel to me, but I think it can also look very modern and fun with the right accessories. You can see more pictures and read more about Emily's caravan here.
