budget friendly + mod

Hi I'm jennifer {seleta's friend/co-conspirator} and I'm guest blogging while she is resting and out on "sick leave."  I had to share my latest discovery from peddler's {to the trade} which is a great resource for affordable home accessories. 

A little about me...I'm a residential designer here at the beach and have a weakness for organization and A-N-Y-thing related to design or fashion.  Feel free to check out my work right over here.

Now, about these cool new products I recently came across during a search for unique home accessories for a client.  Peddler's  has a vintage/industrial vibe which works well when I'm trying to blend old and new for a more "lived in" palette.  I think their pieces are very anthropologie-esque {did i mention i'm an anthro fanatic?}, sort of reminiscent of days-gone-by or maybe something you'd come across in your grandmother's attic??? 

Hoping to use these industrial barstools in my client's kitchen.

And maybe one of the foundry mold mirrors in her powder bath with the fluted wire pendant light hanging above the sink.

 

 

These pieces would add warmth to the room and certainly spark interest.  What do you think?  Stools retail for $250 each and wire pendant $129.  Not bad!

To give you a better vibe on the client's space, here are the fabrics I'm playing around with:

 

Other peddler pieces that caught my eye were the tall wire cubby shelf {everything needs to be in its place}

and the low gym shelf {would be ideal by my back door for storing beach stuff, things for the dog, shoes, etc....}.  The entire wire collection is so functional for life here at the beach {can you say S-A-N-D} and very affordable.

 

Tall shelf $190, low shelf $275. 

Also considering this print block table, think it would be perfect for a cozy covered porch or in a child's playroom.  Very whimsical and unexpected, don't you agree?

Thanks for letting me share my most recent finds and latest obsessions.  Hope to continue popping in {unannounced} to share with you more of my dynamite finds and absolute favorites!!
