fresh finds for hip spaces

Home

I needed to replace my stapler recently so I thought I’d look for something to match my wood rolodex from Margaret and Walter in Scotland. Searching online for what felt like ages, I came across the perfect wood stapler over at The Curiosity Shoppe and cha-ching, in my cart it went. Score! Of course paying for an international move is not cheap so I’m watching what I spend and sadly I had to stop with the stapler. However you may have a few extra coins in your pocket than I do right now and if so you must pay them a visit. Especially if you’re looking for some pretty things to either fluff your nest or give to someone you love here is a glimpse of what caught my eye. These finds are perfect for the new couple or the friends who just rented an apartment (or bought a home).

1. Don’t Forget chalkboard, 2. Wallpaper Projects book, 3. Wood stapler, 4. Owl Wall plaque, 5. Hot plates and 6. Wooden radio.

I already own the Wallpaper Projects book and highly suggest ordering a copy if you are looking for fun and easy DIY projects for wallpaper or even left over pieces you have that you’d love to use because there is no end to the creative projects with wallpaper in this book. My favorite one has to be the single strip of wallpaper used in the interior of an entryway – loved it! In case you didn’t know, the owners of this shop, Derek Fagerstrom and Lauren Smith, just-so-happen to be the author of this fab book too.

I’ve recently purchased the Wallpaper book too! I haven’t dug into it yet, I was waiting for the perfect day to wind down and relax with it. Isn’t it a beautiful book!
