Temperature therapy...

This combination of textures is the cure to winter.

{This gorgeous and inviting interior has been wandering around blogland and landed in two of my favorite places - Hviit and Solid Frog.  See more at Skona Hem.}

Garden charm...

Terrain is full of sweetness and charm in a perfectly understated manner.  Here is a sample of their delights {both new and vintage} for your home and garden.

Mossy lichens wrapped delicately in an organic shape. {How perfect is that wallpaper taking center stage from the background?!?}

Avian allures in the form of twigs and an image too sweet to resist.

Concrete magnolia {seriously, concrete}.

These antique French baby bottles are a charming glass display.

Galvanized garden glamour {or a pretty and pragmatic rubbish pail}.

In case you have a bit of darkness to light up with a bevy of charisma...

Factory production...

Remember my love for a whimsical factory?  I have to share a few more treasures from the production line at Factory 20.  These industrial pieces are unique and bursting with character.  Oh, how I long to live in Sterling, Virginia!

Some inspired chests to hold your beloved belongings:

 

Laundry would be infinitely more blissful with this vintage basket.

Absolutely my favorite, these zinc firewood holders are perfection.  I almost want to build a fireplace - just to have a pragmatic excuse for one {or two}. 

My kitchen counter is pleading for this adorable little card catalog {perhaps I could finally organize my recipes?}.

Three vintage suitcases stacked imperfectly equal an inspired side table.

Romantic reveries...

Hvítur Lakkrís has completely stolen my heart; Gua's blog is brimming with glamorous images of perfectly styled romantic vignettes {lovely places to sit and dream}.  Here is just a tease {there is so much more creative perfection to adore}.

 

Oh, how I wish this was just beyond my back door.

Jayson's charm...

Elle Decor & Lonny have been seducing me with glossy advertisements from Jayson Home & Garden.  I finally submitted to searching the Jayson Home & Garden website; love at first sight!  Here are a few details I couldn't help but share.

The Vintage French Chair with antique Belgian grain sack upholstery is to die for.

This giclee print of a vintage London Bus Sign is stunning.

Rustic and elegant, the Snow Antler Pillow adds an element of impulse to any space.

Revitalized salvaged warehouse light bulbs serve as Factory Light Sculptures, genius.

A person's place for things...

The very first thing I did on my very first day in Portland was visit my very first retail crush, Noun: a person's place for things.  Fate, some may say kismet, brought us together.  I was scouring online for perfect porcelain acorns, the unbearably cute holiday tree ornament and gift adornment when your last name is Oaks {adorable, bordering on kitsch, I know}.  At the time I was hundreds of miles away, in the middle of transitioning to the Pacific Northwest.  Upon learning the shop with the perfect porcelain acorns {Noun} was in Portland, I opted to pick up the ornaments in person once I arrived in town. 

What an introduction to Portland; I left Noun with ten little acorns, undying love for a vintage chair with mustard upholstery, a new obsession with antique silver platters, and a sense that Portland and I would be lifelong friends.  Here is a sampling of the products that won my heart.

Vintage books, great vintage books.

A collection of vases, glass, ceramics, and containers {both old and new} to hold your beloved belongings and blooms.

Decorative delights from mossy balls to vintage cameras.

The acorn adornments that started it all.

Visit Noun's online shop for more grammatically and visually correct scrumptiousness.  Better yet, go in person.  This post could never do justice to the lovely little antiquities at the shop.  To give you an idea, here are a few images of Noun {from their blog}.
