Stencil 1





If you are looking for a fun and easy to way to dress up your walls, be sure to check out Brooklyn based Stencil 1. Stencil 1 is a company founded by graphic designer Ed Roth, greatly influenced by his upbringing in New York as well as his love for graffiti art, Ed has created an assorted collection of entertaining images derived from the 70's and 80's. I have personally used these stencils, having purchased the adorable sparrow, and the best part of them is that they are incredibly durable and can be used and washed off and to be re-used later. Another great part of the stencils is that you can make a mural with assorted images (as shown above) or do just a little accent somewhere. Can't beat that! Check out the full collection here. 

I love this chair mini set. Perfect for use on the wall, or to stencil t-shirts. Fun and easy! Find it by clicking the full collection above. 

Great looking deer head. Now us animal lovers don't have to resort to taxidermy... just grab some paint and go.

Bobby Berk Home



I happened upon a new home decor website Bobby Berk Home. They carry a wide ranging selection of goods, mainly focused on modern favorites like Dwell Studio, Gus Modern and Not Neutral. They have clean and easy to maneuver website, I especially like the eco- friendly section and the gift section with items grouped by price range is nice especially with the impending holiday season fast approaching. Click here for the regal Greyhound Linen Pillow by Thomas Paul featured above. 



I love this chandelier wall light. Perfect for adding ambiance to a room, and you get a piece of art out of it too! Made by DuffyLondon and available in two size options. 

Check out this cool stackable storage cube. Perfect for storing toys and books. I love the retro vibe with the star cut out. Best part is they are made completely out of recycled wood without formaldehyde laden MDF. 

New designs from Thomas Paul. Have a look at the Sarah Linen Pillow in beet. I love the color and the bohemian feel. 

The Paris Market & Brocante




The Paris Market is a retail store based in historic Savannah, Ga., but stepping inside you are immediately transported to another world with new and vintage goods that take their cues from abroad. The owners of The Paris Market were inspired by their love of travel and the many places they have visited and brought together their favorite pieces for their customers to peruse- everything from sweet smelling candles, to vintage furnishings, if you want to bring a little European elegance to your home look no further! If you live in the area make a stop by their brick and mortar locale (if you haven't already) @ 36 West Broughton Street. Click here for the very cool chandelier's made from wine spheres featured above. 


This table immediately caught my eye. I love this unique design- it is not something you would often see. Featuring a rust finish on the iron table, this beauty is punctuated with an amazing riveted detail. I love that this table would work easily in a crisp, modern NYC loft or a hundred year old vintage farm house...


Great looking industrial counter. This would make a great entry piece- perfect for organizing mail, magazines, scarves, whatever you have that makes itself into a comfy mess by the front door! 



I have always had a thing for vintage beverage dispensers and this Absinth 2 Spout Fountain is no exception.. Featuring a mouth blown glass bowl, so pretty!

Well another Friday, yeah! Thanks everyone for checking us out this week, and we will have more great shop and product spotlights to peruse next week. Hope everybody has a nice weekend, I for one will be continuing the packing task, hoping for it to be quickly over!
