My Favorite Design List
I have a personal list of design favorites. Here's a small part of my "must have" list:
- Vintage English sink faucets
- Soapstone countertops
- Beadboard wainscoting
- Clean lined cabinetry
- Apothecary jars
- Zinc planters
- Stained concrete
- Copper hardware with a beautiful verdigris finish
- Handmade tile
- Luxurious bedding
I can find most of the items on my list from various sources. But I also make it tough on myself by searching for that slightly unusual jar, a perfectly restored vintage faucet, handmade hardware from Mexico, or those three oversized storage baskets with a flat back perfect for hanging on the wall with an open weave... Ah - there's that persnickety trait of mine! So some items, though you'd think they were easy to snag, are only found after a bit of a search; by paying a premium; or waiting longer than normal. And oh, the finishing touches - like beautifully scented French milled soap to store in the apothecary jar, or the perfect stationery to send to my clients - It's a never ending search for just right detail or finishing touch. So, tell me, what's on your must-have-but-difficult-to-find list?
If you send me an email with a list of your five hard-to-find design elements we'll share them on our blog. If your list makes it onto our list of favorites you'll win a special gift from us.
Good luck!
