Thrift by design ~ house tour





































































































{Images all here}.

This has to be my favourite house tour that Apartment Therapy has shown yet. I love this place!

The fairy lights are adorable over the window in the kitchen and I love how everything is colourful, mismatched and so aesthetically pleasing. This home belongs to Heidi Schmalbach and Lauren Oholendt (you can see more here). They are both avid collectors (clearly) of beautiful things. Everything you see here in their home has been bought from thrift stores and vintage shops.

Like me they also live in a rental property, which I think only goes to prove once more that it’s only your imagination that can hold you back!

As is probably evident by some of my posts, I’m still putting my home together :-) but I hope to give you a little house tour in the next few months when I’ve completed some of my projects. Watch this space!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

  2. I saw that tour on AT as well and whilst it is not exactly my style I do like it - I can also see it is right up your alley!

    It looks like they have put together lots of fantastic things they love without worrying what anyone else will think, which is the mark of someone with confidence in themselves. xo
