This book feels like just the right resource right now. With the latest emphasis on vintage modern homes, as well as our own ever growing Loose Fit - Country Style collection, we love the vintage modern look. But even more importantly, Bemz's very own director of design, Lisbeth's home is featured in this one! How could we resist?
The Vintage Modern Home, by Katherine Sorrell, is a wonderfully helpful guide that walks the reader through a journey, imparting gems of information, hints and ideas to help you achieve your own vintage modern home. The photos are inspiring and beautiful.
First Katherine addresses the principles: how to work with what you have and how to make an eclectic mix of possessions work by focusing on style, color, pattern, texture and scale.
The section entitled Basics looks at how to personalize what you have if it needs slight re-jigging (very much akin to our own Design-It-Yourself series featured here!). Alternately, she also provides budget friendly ways of adding to what you have, if that's what you need to do.
The best part is undoubtedly the way she uses real homes to highlight how you too can make vintage modern work with what you already own - and to see the variety of different styles within vintage modern! It somehow makes it feel more achievable. As you can see, the full color, inspirational pictures leave you wanting to be a part of it.
And the best bit? You can be a part of it. Definitely a good resource - and congrats to Lisbeth (whose home is defined as Timeless Charm)! An inspiration to us all...
