I do not want to get out in the rain Tropical Storm Lee has brought us, so instead I will stay inside, make some coffee, and read my new book, Modern Vintage Style by Emily Chalmers. I think I will appreciate the book because I like Emily's design philosophy of mixing vintage with new, and using traditional items in modern ways.
Vintage Boontonware on a vintage Belgian linen tea towel; dinette set is a reproduction.
Our tiny little cabin's kitchen and dining area looks like an American midcentury diner, so the atmosphere is perfect for enjoying Modern Vintage Style.
Mr. Art @ Home recently installed white subway tiles under our breakfast bar. I think he did an excellent job, and he chose the tiles on his own.
How are you spending your Sunday afternoon? Have you read any good books lately? What about design books?

Happy reading!

ReplyDeleteTHIS Sunday was spent with daughter and 2 grandgirls at the movie.

Nice book. I was at Barnes & Nobles and was glancing through Babs (Barbra Steisand) book on design and was shocked at the price of her book, 60.00! Of course I looked at every page..drooling I might add..
ReplyDeleteLove your clean chrome look..very vintage and modern..
Our temps dropped quite a bit today, and so my friend and I went to the movies to see "The Help" This was her third time and my second! I am also reading the book that the film was taken from. Then home to a grilled steak dinner, potato salad, corn on the cob, and fresh tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteI love your past time Ricki. Spending the cold weather at home, reading box and enjoying what home has to offer. Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteOh this book is catching my eye! I am a color lover and it appears the author is as well.
ReplyDeleteLove the tile and the kitchen table. The book looks awesome! I almost finished Black Heels to Tractor Wheels by Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman. Hope to finish tomorrow. I want to finish, but I've got to work tomorrow and need some beauty rest!
