Boho A La Vintage

Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend!!!!!  I decided to work overtime and get some extra mula, so I'm really happy about that.  I still did some vintage shopping though.  Nothing can stop me!  I got the painted box above.  It's a pencil box and I got the wine glasses on the very bottom.  They are made in France.  Talk about Global Boho Vintage.  It's a delicate Boho but non-the-less it's beautiful.  The terrarium in the 4th picture is a tad bit hidden in the background behind the glasses, that one was also a good purchase.  My hubby found it interesting enough to catch his attention and ask for pricing.  So this weekend, I went back for it.  I plan to incorporate the terrarium into his home office somehow, since it was something he actually amazingly picked out.  As you can see these are some shots from my favorite vintage shops.

Also, I'm trying out instagram and I'm totally loving it!!!!!!!!!!!  I know, I know, I'm like really behind here, should have been using instagram long ago.  Hope you've enjoyed the pictures. xoxo Diany

Boho Urban...

I ordered these ceramic owl's from Urban Outfitters.  They were in back order so I had to patiently wait.  I've been trying really hard to incorporate something to do with owl's into my home in some way or another after I went camping one day, (while still living in Miami, FL) and heard an owl in the middle of the night.  They sound so beautiful.  I mean it's amazing their song in the night.  It was very inspiring.  But it's hard to find boho owl's really, technically speaking here.  Until Urban Outfitters came up with these beautiful owls.  I thought they were pricey at first and thought they aught to be somewhat small.  So needless to say I was completely surprised by their size!  Everyone out there must get a hold of one of these owls, unless you're like me in a way and want them both.  www.urbanoutfitters.com

I have incorporated the white owl into my bedroom and it goes there gracefully - the other owl is on the works but from the looks of it I'm going to try my best to fit it into my husbands home office once I start decorating it. I asked him which one he liked most and he picked the blue owl.  So in a way, though it's still mine....I'd like it to be around his area...so he thinks it's his...

Decorating a home on a budget is going rather slowly - right now I'm focused on my room, but I must say it is turning out amazing.  I totally love the items I'm picking, it's all coming together very tastefully.  I'm having a bit of a struggle on the way I'll be decorating the walls. An informal art collection is kinda tough to pull off.  Incorporating maybe a tapestry of some kind, I find it challenging, yet I'm really looking forward to it.

THE HUNT

Hi!!!!!!! Hope everyone out there is having a wonderful weekend.

So I totally love vintage shopping, estate sales, garage sales....It's that time to go and hunt for the perfect little items to add to your home.  Here I'm posting some of my finds from last week and today's outing.

 
The first 2 pictures is a painting on cloth of Japanese dancers.  The detailing is amazing and I totally love the ethnic feel of it and it definitely covers my global vintage boho style to the max.  I found this piece at a vintage shop called The Cottage House (4304 Chicago Ave. South, Minneapolis, MN).  I totally loved this shop, I plan to revisit for sure.  I'll be posting a few more pictures from the shop so be in the look out for those.  They carry a wide selection of things at good prices.  Amazing pieces of furniture, some seemed refurbished but so so nicely.  Other pieces had very rustic look and they contained a lot of personality.  The next two pictures, I got these at an estate sale.  They are all pieces from Mexico, I paid $3 for the big one and I got the other 2 carved frames art pieces for $3 not each but actually 2 for only $3.  Again, Ethnic boho all the way.  No clue if these pieces are vintage though, but they are so pretty.  The last picture shows off 2 little pieces I found at another vintage shop, it's a metal candle holder and this cute little glass piece that you put into them.  This shop opened up about 3 weeks now and it's called E's Emporium (3911 Minnehaha Ave, Minneapolis, MN).  Another of those shops I was googoo over.   Yes,  I plan for another visit there too.  The little dish you might be eyeing too is from urban outfitters! Only $6 on clearance. The last picture is a bohemian czech glass vase piece I found at a estate sale, paid $12.50 but it's okay considering it's czech glass and that's usually pricey in itself.  I can't confirm if it's Moser, but it is Moser style at least.
