Rae Plants & Vintage

Happy (Official) Spring!

With spring always comes thoughts of

beautiful new plants and flowers 

budding. However, if you are anything

like us and love fresh plants, but don't

quite have the green thumb, it can be

complicated, for lack of a better word.

Luckily, we found a pretty awesome 

solution. Rae Plants and Vintage!

We stumbled upon the page by chance

on instagram one day and fell in love

with their aesthetic. Not too long

after following the lovely ladies,

they announced that their unique

air plants in vintage planters were now

being offered for delivery! (eep!)

Not only are the planters carefully packaged

but they were even cool in person.

They even include

care instructions with ever order for the plants, so 

people like us, don't get discouraged

or scared of caring for a living plant.

They add the perfect spring touch

to our decor.

We are obsessed with it all. 

ABOUT RAE PLANTS Natalie and Jillian are Seattle transplants from

 NYC and Chicago, respectively. After meeting

 at their new jobs in the corporate fashion world,

 they immediately bonded over their love of vintage,

 thrifting and antiquing, plants, and their shared

 middle name, Rae. Once they'd each filled their

 own homes to capacity with plants, and in search 

of a creative outlet that got them outside and exploring

 new things in the city, they started planting easy

 to care for houseplants in vintage and re-purposed 

planters to sell at local flea markets. The response

 they got was really exciting - people love plants,

 but are worried that they don't know how to care for 

them, or don't want to deal with potting them themselves!

Less than a year after launching Rae Plants, the business 

has expanded to include plant interiors for both commercial 

spaces and residences, plants for parties and events, local plant

 gift deliveries, wholesale potted plants to local retailers, and 

most excitingly, a collective retail store, Ship Song Collective, 

along with six other local artists and creatives that they met 

on the Seattle pop-up market scene.

Party Planning Inspiration

We don't know about ya'll, but

We still use Pinterest as one of our main go-to sources 

for inspiration for planning any kind of party.

Our upcoming Brunch crawl is no exception.

For our stop of the brunch crawl,

we are hosting a Coffee/Mimosa and Donut Bar.

SWEET!

We are super excited, especially after

pouring over the pages of pinterest for

far too much time.

SO.MANY.IDEAS!

It makes us want to have a party every weekend!

We pulled some of our favorite images that we

are going to be using the most for inspiration.

We can't wait to get going!

Cheers!

Happy Pinning!

Home is Where the Art Is

Anyone else feel like they get into decorating

mode a lot? You're not alone! It's hard

to get a room just right, especially when you start

trolling the pages of Pinterest and love, um,

EVERYTHING.

But man, doesn't it just feel GREAT, when a space

just starts naturally coming together? It takes some time

but little-by-little, the little pieces of the decor puzzle

just start fitting.

The living room has been one of those spaces.

It's been 3 years, and I think it's now finally starting

to feel just right with the help of some small little details

like this little nook (as we like to call it).

All of these things in the nook have been acquired over time, and

just recently it got the final touch it needed, 

with this modern map art print. As soon as we

saw it, we knew it was the piece for the space! 

It was the perfect Modern piece to accent the

vintage items.

I mean seriously, how cool is this print? 

We are obsessed!

Now that we've discovered 

Modern Map Art, our next project:

a wall filled with cities we visited!

Cool right?

you're so vanity

Today, we step inside of the eclectic world of

gypsy and her vanity. It's a uniquely 

assembled space with several interesting characteristics

and pieces. Very shabby chic!

Let's start with the vanity itself. The vanity

is comprised of an old refurbished coffee table. 

it was painted with several layers of paint, and then

sanded down to give it a vintage appeal.

The table is then adorned with this oversized 

gold framed mirror and then accompanied by

the perfect little vintage chair.

This is one of my favorite pieces on the vanity.

I am a self proclaimed sunglass collector,

so it was important to me to have a way to display

some of my favorite pairs. This old clasp hand display

holder was the perfect fit.

Over the years, I have become somewhat fond of brass

animal figures at the antique and thrift stores. I have

come to discover they make great jewelry holders, 

if you find the right one. A couple of my absolute favorites

are the mouse ring holder, and the crab whose shell is a case!

Bracelets and watches are somewhat difficult

sometimes to find a good holder for. I decided,

the perfect holders were a couple of old wine 

bottles I spray painted gold and stuck some

faux flowers in.

No vanity feels quite complete without a proper 

perfume display. My grandmother gifted me this mirror

tray, which seemed to work out perfect for my space.

It gives the bottles a chic feel. 

This old perfume sprayer is a new find

which I am more than excited about because for one,

it matches my Lady Gaga set, and two it's amazing.

Along with my brass animal collection comes by

"other" animal collection. I just love the way an old skull

looks as a jewelry holder. Plus, it gives the vanity

an edgy vibe.

 Lastly, the surroundings. Framing my vanity, are

these fantastic steel antlers from various animals

we found at Marshalls one day. We saw them and said

"Hey! Those would be great for jewelry!" I have to 

say the Moose Might be my favorite. Accompanying these

antlers are some small hanging shelves and this 

beautiful inspirational piece my sister made for me.

I hope you found some inspiration, and even 

some interest in exploring my vanity today! It's been a 

work in progress. I can't say I'll ever be complete, as long

as I keep finding brass animals. But for now,

I am more than pleased with the space.

Cheers!
