Vintage Industrial Living Rooms

Vintage Industrial Inspired living rooms: 


While most of us do not live in a large loft or an old building
converted into an apartment, much like
some of the catalog pages in Anthro or Urban Outfitters.
The style of vintage industrial is gaining popularity and
there are ways to incorporate the style into
your own living room..


There are many websites and catalog to order Vintage Industrial items  (I will list my faves later)
but if you are willing to do the work you can also find items
at garage sales and thrift shops

Look for:

1)  furniture with vintage looking metal and wood both in one piece
2) Metal/Wire or rustic wood baskets


3) Pendent Lights with Edison Bulbs

4) Metal signs or letters


Add some of your own touches like burlap throw pillows
and vintage books and voila...









Now on to the easy way...
There are some very cool websites that can
be spendy but wow! they have amazing
items:






For specific items be sure to do some searching on
Ebay and Etsy

Vintage Weddings...inspired by Anthropologie!

Vintage and Anthropologie go hand in hand...
Going vintage in your Wedding
can be a bold move, but done right
your wedding will shine in the
style of Anthropologie..


Direction and a basic list to
go Anthro vintage:


1) Tea Length Dress and Birdcage Veil
and for your groom
things like
Suspenders,Vest,Newsboy Hat







Has an amazing assortment
of both tea length dresses
and lovely veils



2)Old Typewriters





3)Weathered Doors and/or Window Frames
 







4)Vintage Suitcases or Boxes
to add height





5)Mason Jars And Wildflowers
(love the anthro mugs)
 
 





6) Antique Furniture
used for seating
or photo opps


I recommend going to thrift shops,
garage sales, and borrowing
from friends...




Round out the above items
with banners, lanterns or ribbons
&
great food,drink and friends
&
of course your one true love...

Your wedding will be Vintage Anthropologie
