Get the Look Vol.3


I really enjoy scrolling through Pinterest looking at amazing places, things and homes :)
I found a few more home decor ideas which you can accomplish with items from our StarHomeStudio shop. The first is this Pottery Barn Chest, it is distressed to look old, ours below is really a vintage one, all distressing is done with time and use, so the real deal :)



This one might freak out some, I am thoroughly against taxidermy and fur, but skulls, when naturally found, is nothing harmful. This dark grey wall with all the skulls looks pretty impressive.
We currently have 3 skulls in the shop, either found on the beach or in the woods.



I haven't been able to find the source of this image but love the look of it, feather pens, ink pots and some more memories gathered under a glass dome, actually a lot of things look amazing under a dome, don't you think?
We have a set of two 1930's ink pots in the shop, which would look great like that, a perfect gift for writers and calligraphers or collectors in general.



Succulents from LaSelvaSucculents, with seashells from our shop would make great nautical botanical decor pieces :)

Newly listed: Abalone Ring


Abalone shell is so inspiring, the rich colors can take you to magical lakes, peacock feathers and undiscovered places.

Wharf Inspiration


Last year we were at a boat wharf, where all the tour boats are repaired and repainted during winter time to be ready for the Summer season. We go there from time to time to collect shells. This year however I discovered that the battered boats have amazing details. Peeled paint, rusted details let the inspiration flow and I took plenty of pictures so that we could make some jewelry inspired by the colors and textures. Here is the first bunch we've made, there are more pictures and jewels to come.


Stone, coral, ceramic, copper, enamel and glass captured  the atmosphere perfectly, if I may say so :)













The jewelry pieces will be slowly listed in our shop.

Our Creative Space...


Thanks to a 5 day national holiday here every shop and everything was closed these past days. Which gave me the time and inspiration to finally learn to solder. The materials and tools were waiting for me for years and with a great tutorial I've been having super much fun.


Here some previews of what I've been making. Everything needs to be cleaned, waxed and cleaned again and then I can finish the pieces, but I am too excited to wait for that so here they all are in their current state.


I spray painted a large piece of driftwood slightly white. Below it will hang the crystals, to become a cloud with rain drops, all with found or vintage materials.


A beach tile has become a pendant.



This will also become a wall hanging, with large corals, all found on the beach.




The red corals are farmed bamboo coral, and not in any danger, just for those who wonder :) And will become super fun necklaces.


My mum wanted a walnut boat for ages, finally it could be made, and look how super cute it is. The sailis a piece of vintage doily, which we made a border for with wire inside to keep it in a perfect shape.


And finally two sea urchin ornaments, to decorate your house all year long.
I will soon show the results when they are completly finished with better pictures!
p.s. Today is the last day that you can enter our giveaway!
