Hot Cool Vintage: August 2013
http://hotcoolvintage.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 16, 2013. Please tell me I'm not the only person who gets excited over the arrival of the new Ikea catalog. It seems that as soon as it arrives I devour it as I once did the arrival of the "Toys R Us Big Book of Toys" catalog. I'm not alone in this right? Here is what my catalog looked like when I started. And here it is 5 minutes later. Obviously, I'm not all Ikea all the time. I'm a thrifter first and foremost but Ikea does serve a purpose. On my facebook. Page (you have liked my facebook.

Hot Cool Vintage: Living with Vintage - Trays
http://hotcoolvintage.blogspot.com/2015/04/living-with-vintage-trays.html
Friday, April 17, 2015. Living with Vintage - Trays. Let’s talk about trays. Me? I love them. Big or little, metal or plastic. I can always find a spot that instantly looks better once I find the right tray. Trays highlight, contain and most importantly elevate your items. Have a collection? Want to make something look just a little bit better? This is a classic mid century Danish modern. In a previous life this was an. Keep some extra trays on hand. Great for serving or if a guest stays the night...

Hot Cool Vintage: Living with Vintage - Mixing Metals
http://hotcoolvintage.blogspot.com/2015/03/mixing-metals.html
Friday, March 13, 2015. Living with Vintage - Mixing Metals. Another Vintage Friday post from 3 Story Magazine. Candle holders are a great way to add some interest to a table. Brass adds a bit of the warmth silver adds the sparkle. It’s also handy when the candle holder doubles as a flower vase. These holders are different in metals and form but I think the general Scandinavian design aesthetic is what makes these two work well together. Ystad Metall Brass candle holders here. FLEA Holiday Blowout SALE.

Hot Cool Vintage: September 2013
http://hotcoolvintage.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 23, 2013. Every time I start thinking about design books I hear the voice of Gloria Upson from "Auntie Mame saying "Books are awfully decorative, don't you think? And it cracks me up every. single. time. If you haven't seen the Rosalind Russell version of "Auntie Mame" you should do so quickly. Preferably with a martini in hand. To a site that has stills of No.3 Beekman Place and below. Is a clip featuring the Danish Modern set, my fave, and "dear little" Gloria Upson. These books are s...

Sunday, December 15, 2013. Thrift Report: Holiday Treasures. I'm sorry for the virtual blog silence lately.this holiday season has been kicking my. I've been sick almost nonstop since early November - finally getting over The Plague of 2013, I think - and have been running nonstop between work obligations and packing and shipping things for the shop. Consequently, I've cut way back on the thrifting. I haven't stopped completely, of course (you know me too well for that! I pick up these 60s era Chinoiseri...

Wednesday, May 7, 2014. Photo Shoot Sneak Peak. Last week I was fortunate enough to be a part of this fun photo shoot that was put together by Elizabeth at Boxhill.

Friday, February 13, 2015. Living with Vintage - Collections. Repost from my Vintage Friday Newsletter over at 3 Story Magazine. There's a (very) fine line between collecting and hoarding, says Francine Smith of Hot Cool Vintage. She shares some of her collections, and tips on how she does it. Photos courtesy of Francine Smith. Black and white (and orange). Another collection that is in flux, this one includes a mistake and a re-purposed piece of cased glass. The first bottle is a knock-off, although...
