Get the Look Vol. 22 Harry Potter version

 

As a big Harry Potter fan this blogpost is really late but I never realized we have so many Harry Potter style pieces in our shop! This scene from the first movie in the resctricted area of the Library at Hogwarts shows Harry with a lantern. I wonder if other HP fans purchased some of our lanterns as we sold quite a few.

See? Our vintage brass lanterns fit right in! We still have a few left and some gas lamps and such as well, perfect for the magical world that has no electricity. Sadly the one in the movie breaks as Harry gets caught and drops it :)

This Trunk was from the fourth movie where the real professor Moody was locked up.

We have a similar looking trunk and it is actually big enough to fit someone in lol :)

Professor Snape's class room and potions storage room is full of bottles and glassware of which we have a few ourselves. Like this instant collection of pharmacy bottles.

And these spirit burners and old pharmacy tools also fit right in.

The beautiful pale green glassware pieces are just like vintage bottles and pharmacy glassware which we also have in the shop.

See our vintage bottles here.

Trunks are always a classic in Harry Potter, no modern suitcases in sight. We have a few beautiful vintage trunks and chests in the shop.

And beside bottles, cauldrons and fire there is no potion making without a good pestle and mortar to grind some tough ingredients.

Do you think our pieces would work well in a HP movie? And are you a fan too?

From Shabby to Shabby Chic

Our attic is full of old treasures. Mum is a bit of a slight hoarder so there is stuff there from any stage of her life from various countries. And some of those we have been selling in the vintage category in our StarHomeStudio shop. From time to time I go up in the attic to find something to fix and then add in the shop. Last week I found this wooden chest. Super shabby and not very useful the way it was. But after a thorough cleaning and adding some cool steel hairpin feet....

In the meantime I have 11 pieces of furniture in various stages of making/ fixing/ finishing!! Kind of drives me crazy.

It now is a super cool coffee table, nightstand or whatever else you might find a use for it.

Besides washing the chest I did not do anything else to the wood to keep the rough rustic look of the old wood. Sanding and varnishing it would just give me a boring and still not perfect wooden box, the imperfections give it character. My mint colored globe matches perfectly :)

It has a top lit and drawer, I think it would be perfect to put remote controls in it, in the living room

I changed the pull of the drawer with a cool vintage bead that has the same mint color as the legs.
One piece down, still 10 pieces of furniture in our atelier waiting to be finished, and many more in the attic and shed :D

This cool piece is available in the shop with plenty of other one of a kind furniture pieces.

Get the Look Vol. 4

I've always loved geeky stuff like microscopes, globes, and the like. The look here above is awesome with the botanical prints from GurelanArt with the insects and microscopes as props is super cool, and we are offering a 1950's microscope to get this look too, you can also still use it which is super fun.

I love old chests they look awesome, have something of secrets and treasures and can be used as coffee tables, side tables and of course you can keep your treasures inside.
Our beautiful vintage chest is about a 100 years old, I wonder what treasures it has hold in its time.

There are quite some vintage camera collectors, they are pretty cool, and you can still use them too if you enjoy using film in this crazy digital age :) If you would like to start a collection yourself or already have one (or know someone who has one) this vintage Polaroid will fit right in :)

I love this driftwood 'bouquet'! And it is especially nice for those who love the sea but don't live close by. So we offer beautiful natural driftwood sticks so you can create your own beach vibes :)

Or you could paint them :)
