shop preview: industrial decor

This coming week I will be listing industrial objects in warm earthy tones in browns, olive and greens. I'm so excited to list this old post office sorting cabinet with drawers that I recently won from an auction, also on the list; an old industrial stool, metal filing boxes, wood boxes and crates, wood military box and much more!

And speaking of auction, you know how I love going to these things, I'd go more often if I can, but sadly my favorite auction place in Seattle only hold one auction per month, but for those of you who haven't been into one and curious how it all works now you can see the fine points of auction in action in an upcoming TV show called Auction King on Discovery channel which premieres this 26th of October. I can't wait!

Factory 20

Though they're probably been blogged many times I'm still posting some of their photos here for inspiration. I just adore the photography on their website, and the dusty bottles as photo props is so genius! It looks like it's been sitting there for a hundred years and was finally discovered and captured in photograph.

So, if you're on a hunt for that one-of-a-kind-out-of-this-world collection of vintage industrial objects, their website if full of that; that is if money is no object to you.

Monday shop update!

Some industrial and modern home decor update for you this gorgeous Monday! I have a large Chemistry poster and two industrial chairs that I will add to this list sometime today once I think up a good description for the items- which I find is the hardest part of listing an item...

industrial style decorating

Although I would consider only a few pieces of the rusted and crusted furniture in my home, I love the fact that these style of decorating uses old equipments (be it from school, warehouses, office or garage) and given a second life in a residential setting. I love the uniqueness and quirkiness that it brings into a room.

Some flickr photos I found here with "industrial chic" tags.










p.s. I will be updating the shop with some modern and industrial items on Monday.
