The New Vintage

Move over mid-century, now there's something older. I just read this fun article in the NY Times. If this is a trend, it's one that really appeals to me. I can't get into taxidermy myself (too many eyes looking at me), but I love the apothecary collections, ancestral portraits, and the general abundance of collections like the vintage luggage and sporting equipment that these new antiquarians have on display. You can read the article and see more pictures here.

A Caravan Ride

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.
