Local Source: Iconi Interiors

I wanted to share some images from a favorite local design shop of mine here in Madison called Iconi Interiors.  Iconi is owned by interior designer, Coni Marotz and contains a mix of beautiful vintage items as well as new ones.  Along with being in the shop as much as possible, Coni works with design clients around the Madison area.  Her in-store selection of fabrics and rugs is carefully chosen and she really has an incredible eye.  I'm constantly inspired by her merchandise, which is why I thought it would be fun, even for non-locals to see some photos of the shop.

 That little lamp has a beautiful crystal base.  And do you see that lucite ice bucket?  LOVE.

 She has an incredible selection of vintage glassware.

 Vintage glasses + lucite tray = perfection.



 I love that little leopard print ottoman/side table!


 Yes, that IS a LEOPARD SETTEE...







If you do live in or around the Madison area, please stop in to see Coni and tell her I sent you!

My Etsy Shop is Open!

It's OPEN!


Thanks for all of your support last week regarding my Etsy shop.  I'm so excited to announce it's opening!  I have been working to post as many items as possible (it's takes longer than you'd think!) and in the process already made my first SALE.  So, please hop over to visit Le Vintage and let me know if you have any questions or items in particular that you are looking for (I can always keep an eye out).  More to come soon!

More House Shots

So, I know you guys got to see some shots of my living yesterday over at Made By Girl, but I thought I would share some more photos as well as show you the NEW LAYOUT.  I decided to change things around in the room.  I LOVE doing this (fairly often, I admit), I think that is part of the designer in me.  I know it drives Peter nuts, but he handles it pretty well.







Thoughts on the new layout?  We really LOVE it!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Checking In: Grandin Road

The other day, Erin from Elements of Style posted about how surprised she was after flipping through the newest Grandin Road catalog.  So after reading her post, I popped over to their website to check out some more of their current offerings.  I too was pleasantly surprised.  Check out a few of the items I included in my round-up from Grandin Road.

Thank Yous and Good News For My Readers!

I want to send out a huge THANK YOU to all of my readers, old and new.  I love writing this blog and it makes it a million times better to have you following along with me.  I know that there were some comments about my home tour, specifically about those gold striped cocktail glasses!  Well I'm not giving those babies up, but the GOOD NEWS is that I'm in the process of opening an Etsy store where I will be selling many vintage finds.  There will mostly home decor items like the ones you see on my bar and elsewhere throughout the living room.  It should be open in the next week and you can be sure you'll be the first to know!  Here is a sneak peek of what I'll be carrying...



I can't wait to reveal the shop and show you more goodies, so stay tuned!
