So I do a LOT of online perusing.

Not shopping. 

Perusing.

I end up going down the rabbit hole that is the internet, looking at decorating ideas, painting techniques and of course, Pinterest..

 Recently I came across a website called "Jumbled".

It's a site and shop solely dedicated to all things beautiful.

They have amazing artwork, furniture and home decor of every kind.

I'm not going lie...I visit this site almost daily and follow them like a stalker-lady on instagram.

Looking at their colourful, cheery pictures makes me insanely happy and has the creative part of my brain on major overdrive!

Normally I wouldn't share something like this, but you guys have to see their stuff!

Go check it  out!

Thanks for stopping by again, guys!

Inspiration

It's Inspiration Day!!!!

We are absolutely loving on triangles right now. 

It's the strangest thing..

 The triangle has been around forever, and for some reason it's suddenly appearing on everything in decor magazines and furniture stores!

I think they add the perfect "unexpected" and whimsical touch to furniture!

We are so eager to jump on the triangle bandwagon and see what we can muster up in the shop!

Ideas are flowing....

ohhh.. 

* a vintage dresser with a hit of triangles splashed over it's drawers..

* a crisp white piece with little triangles dancing across the surface of the top..

*a desk with drawers lined in adorable triangle print paper..

..ahhhh

So, keep your eyes peeled, folks..

There may just be a gorgeous piece inspired by this little collage!

'Til next time, peeps.

Inspiration Board: Pastels

Guys...

I have majorly been crushing on girly, shabby chic, pale and pastel furniture and decor lately.

I can't get enough of feminine, vintage-esque details!

We are going to be starting some really cool projects this week and I have been so inspired!

I always have so many ideas flooding my over-active brain so I decided that before the beginning of each week, I am going to harness my ideas and do up an "inspiration board" for the week ahead!

This is it for this week:

We have a few gorgeous pieces ready to go and I think that this is the perfect direction to go in!

Look at these pieces of vintage furniture. So many ideas!

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend!

Stay tuned this week for some pastel goodness!

Polkadotted Furniture Inspiration

I love polkadots. 

They're classy but fun and best of all, they never go out of style.

I have incorporated polkadots into my decor here and there and it just adds the right amount of playfulness without being too loud!

We got a really good response to the white and gold mid-century tables we did a while back...like, overwhelming number of calls and emails for them. I wish we could have mass produced just those ones!

And I bet you all know what's coming up then, you sneaky little Sherlocks...

A new reveal tomorrow that'll knock your socks off!!!

Stay tuned in and thanks to you all for following us. 

We love you.

Vote!

Happy Hump Day, Everyone!

I know we all differ vastly on our decorative tastes/style, so today I decided it would be interesting to get some feedback.

I'm always wanting to do new and exciting things at Sparrow Layne but sometimes it's tricky to not get into your own little rut based on your tastes and this is how I've been feeling lately.

So! I thought it would be fun to do another survey so I can get your feedback on what kinds of things you're feelin' these days!

Help a gal and vote! Your options will be on the right side of the page! So cast your votes to see more of what yah like at Sparrow Layne!

I am absolutely in love with retro modern furniture.

Most of us know that mid-century modern has come back with a vengeance. Every Style at Home and House & Home magazine's pages are flooded with this retro goodness.

Some people are resistant, I am welcoming it with open arms (that could be because I never lived through it the first time, but I adore it!).

If I could redecorate and turn my house into a mod-century modern haven, I'd be on that like flies on...well, yah know..

For those of you who have browsed for this kind of decor, you're well aware of the fact that because it's now so sought after now by style chasers like us, it has driven the price tag through the roof! 

Sadly, teak is not cheap, my friends...

The good news? Sparrow Layne has started creating our very own pieces!!! Hurray!

And yes, you are quite correct...this just may be another one of those lead up posts!

We are very excited to be creating some brand new, retro inspired pieces, because hey, we can't all afford to have thousand dollar pieces in our homes, but we can have the same flare for less! *Props to all the penny pinching style gurus out there*

So stay tuned for a pretty exciting reveal this week and some shiny new/retro pieces in the shop!

Enjoy your Sunday, Peeps!

stripes

Sparrow Layne digs stripes, like a lot.

Nothing is crisper than a black and white stripe but we'll take 'em all!

Stripes are classic and truly never go out of style. Stripes make the most boring snore of a piece and kick it up a notch. Stripes are where it's at, kapeesh?

And if you think this is a lead up to an upcoming piece, well, you may just be right...

There is a whole lot of new happenings at Sparrow Layne and this week is going to be an exciting one. Lots of new pieces and a little custom work going down from the hubs!

As usual, stay tuned for more! There's always more being cooked up in the shop!

magenta

Guys, I am dying over Magenta lately.

This rich pink hue is everything!

For all of those like me, who are too obsessed with flipping through decorating magazines, this is definitely the hottest of the "it" colors right now.

{Sidenote: it's even more amazing paired with gold!)

What do you think?

Pretty slick, hey?

ombre

So I know that ombre is nothing new but I am still a sucker for graduated color. 

For those of you who follow me on instagram and Facebook, you are probably familiar with this little retro gem I snagged a bit ago. I love when a piece just speaks to me and instantly i get a clear image of what I want to do with it. 

Forgive me for the terrible quality of this picture!

This one took a bit but guess what.....I'm thinking ombre! Have any of you pinterest obsessed peeps seen the ombre furniture that litters furniture feeds? They are just fantastic!

How amazing are these?

Now to settle on a color....

Happy Monday, Folks!

Color of the Year!

So, peeps, anyone checked out the forecasted colors of the year for 2015?

I look at way too many furniture and home decor pictures. Like, way too many. I start looking and I can't stop. I get excited way too easily and ideas start flying through my brain at warp speed. 

Just for some fun, I've perused some furniture in the new "it" colors for 2015 and am dying to know what you all think. So! I've left a little poll for you to participate in. I love feedback, and always love to know what color clients are going for these days!

Over on the right side of the page there will be a place where you can let me know whatcha think!

So, do a gal a solid and vote, k? 

Have a great weekend, folks!
