A Cozy Living Room: ONH Sourcing Series 1

Posted on March 17, 2014 by M+D | 0 comments
I absolutely love seeing photos in magazines and online of rooms and spaces that have elements that fit our ONH vision. Especially when I see a handmade or vintage rug being used do I get very happy! I have decided to start an ONH Sourcing Series for fun on here to help people visualize how some of our pieces would fit well into their spaces since I know that sometimes you are staring at a blank wall and can't think of how and what to situate on it! First up today is this great colorful and cozy living room featured in Domino Magazine and a couple of key elements popped out at me to be totally Old New House. I hope you like my picks inspired by this person's lovely living space!

1. Vintage tribal rug with a strong red presence -- some people think red to be too bold as if other colors will not match it well but as seen here, it can feel very neutral and homey + I just love how it ties in the red of the pillows and the portrait painting. 
2. Funky floral pillow. When shopping for accent pillows, I find it best to mix and match like they have done here but as a lover of all things feminine, some floral is a must! 
3. Unique botanical art, perfect as a stand alone art piece as featured here or as a group series (think: gallery wall)
4. Portrait painting -- my absolute favorite of all unique art, I must admit! I just love the study of human beings and portraits whether in photographic or painting form are absolutely that. I also love dreaming up the story for the person I hang on the wall -- what fun! 
Stay tuned for my next series selection! 
xoxo,

Finding the Right Rug / Entryway

Posted on December 23, 2013 by M+D | 0 comments

As people who live and breath rug, you'd think we'd have it all figured out in our own home but truthfully finding just the right rug takes time and patience (unless of course you see it in our shop and you know that's the one!) Since moving into our new house in August, it has been a bit of a slow but fun process getting things situated. To me the biggest project still remains: the entryway. Ours is tight and a bit awkward which means of course it should be amazing when we are done figuring out what to do with it!

 

Dave has some big plans for make custom shelving (one of those to do's to add to the list of many home creations!) because it is a bit narrow for typical furniture. I am looking forward to seeing what he comes up with that is both unique, practical and baby-friendly (as our current reclaimed metal stand is not!) but first things first -- we must find a rug runner! Naturally we sometimes fall a bit in love with our own merchandise and are always a bit sad when we send them off, so even though we will likely source a brand new vintage piece for ourselves, I will have some fun showing off some runners of our own that might work well in the space --

 

If only this were a runner--
