Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest WhatsApp As I’ve been getting dangerously close to shooting my living room (FINALLY since I just got the main feature installed YAY), I’ve been poking around looking for some final decor pieces. I’ve also been searching and pinning for my bedroom:) Basically, your girl is on the hunt and along the way I have stumbled upon some pretty great things I thought would be cool to share because it’s fun. Naturally, I want to bring in even more vintage into my home so almost everything on this list is and it’s all of course from Etsy (why leave the house if you don’t have to). Now, these things are going to be very much “Jess Coded” because they all made my heart sing:) And the easiest way to get my heart pounding is a beautiful lamp. Before we get started, I have to show you a PAIR of Japanese Vintage Table Lamps I bought at the Rosebowl two weeks ago for only $80! It’s always good to get out of the house. CAN YOU STAND IT? I was nervous to commit because these cuties are going on my future nightstands which I clearly don’t have yet. They were just too good and affordable to risk. This honestly doesn’t have anything to do with this post aside from that I really wanted to show you all and they are vintage like almost everything else in this post:) Ok, now let’s start with some lighting you can buy or just admire like me! I’m like, “Get out of here!” This sweet baby is so adorable. In fact, I was hesitant to purchase the table lamp I bought because I had originally wanted a couple Stilnovo lamps. (Something like these or find this little mint one!). But the pairs I’ve been seeing have cost more than I ideally want to spend (and look, I was heavily considering it but am trying to be smarter with my money. UGH). Anyway, this one still isn’t cheap but I think is SO fun and special and I want it to go to a good home, ok? If you can’t tell I am pretty into Italian lighting…and furniture…and art…and the food, but that’s neither here nor there. This one is so amazing, I can’t stop staring. The color, the shape and the patina. I could cry. Now this sweet thing is pretty pricey but if nothing else it’s a great inspiration/something to maybe be on the hunt for a lower price if that’s even possible. Also, I’m thinking I need to plan a trip to Italy. Please consider donating:) It’s a reproduction of the original. I love it all the same. I love the colors, they’re bold and not too loud. The handwriting on the sides makes it unique. And of course, the advantage of a print is that it’s far more affordable than the original and with this on you can request other sizes. Who knows? Maybe this will end up at my house:) I feel pretty certain that my love of quirky hand-drawn art directly came from seeing Emily’s submarine piece years ago. In fact, this piece does give me that feeling! Some of you might be thinking, “I could draw that” and that could be true but there’s something about a vintage piece that hits different. Take this one I found at a flea market last year that I can’t wait to finally frame: It’s super weird and filled with nonsense but I love it. These stools make me want to buy at least one. FandFVintage has been my favorite Etsy store for years. They both sell vintage and make things and it’s all great. These stools (at least for me) are brand new and may be my favourite yet. They are swivel, did I mention? Or that they are handmade? You can even customize the fabric. They are just so unique and cool. A unique wall mirror is another item I want to buy. Your girl doesn’t have the money to buy me anything in this world. Plus, I’m thinking I want vintage clothing made of organic materials like this or this. This cutie caught my eye. It’s too small for my needs but I love it. The one I have is small and not suitable for my needs, but this affordable alternative is similar in style. What a great braided metal!? I meeeeannnn, wow. This vase may not be vintage, but is made by hand and is so cool. This designer won an Etsy Award in 2023. It was the first thing I saw when searching for decorative objects. It’s not quite right for my space but I hope it could work for one of you<3 You will not be surprised if you are familiar with my style. It’s cool, architectural and made out of wood. I’m sure most people would see this and think, “What even is that and what would you do with it?” Well, let me tell you that all it takes is a shelf or surface and a little vision. This could make a great bookend. It can also sit on top of a stack of books to give it a more stylish look. Or, you could pair it with other items for a cute little vignette. So many possibilities. I love vintage wooden finials. There are so many fun shapes and sizes to choose from! Example A: Check out my little collection that’s on my window trim in the photo below:) Photo by sara Ligorria Tramp | from: jess’ home office It was a lot of fun and unexpected! Last year, I bought two vintage super-tall ones at the Lawson-Fenning Warehouse Sale. I hope to use them in the next photo shoot. I would definitely recommend these pieces as they will add a quirky touch to your home. Another PERFECT vintage Stilnovo Lamp that I don’t have a place for. Someday I’ll have a home with more room to put all the lamps of my dreams. I want an EHD-reader to purchase it and enjoy it forever. It’s not cheap but if you have the budget it’s a no-brainer:) Well, at least to me. Okay, I’m just going to show you one of them because I thought it was cool. Loved When I first saw it, I was shocked at the price. I laughed because (I believe) I would not pay this much for a chandelier, even if I was SO wealthy. But if I ever become a billionaire I’ll let you know if I’ve changed my mind:) I hope you liked this, because it was fun showing you more of what caught my eye. It’s really fun to see the differences in what we all are drooling over. Have a great weekend! Love you.
