Get the Look Vol. 15

The more rustic patina and texture a pot has the more I love it. They both almost have a kind of moon texture. Above you can see how it looks in a home and the one below is available in our shop.

I love the vintage unicorns, not today's kind that often has rainbow popping out somewhere, but the old ones with white and gold like the print here above or the vintage box we have in our shop.

One of the most popular collections among small and big boys, ours is a Turkish promotional truck made out of tin.

I love educational posters, maps, biology charts etc, they bring so much character to a room and they are educational.

I love the one above as it is simple and I'm sure the kid will know the alphabet in no time :) The ones in our shop are a set of 6 with Spanish words.

I love bookshelves with art and trinkets staged in between. While the horse above made with a mold ours is a vintage handmade piece which makes it more rustic and charming.

Round mirrors are so much fun, shaving mirrors are extra cool as one side has a magnifying mirror. If you already have a collection or want to begin, ours is from 1960 from Spain and can both hang and stand.

You can find all these vintage finds in our StarHomeStudio shop among handmade decor and furniture pieces.

Vintage Toy Revamp

I'm still busy saving my photos, so no laptop yet. But that doesn't mean that we haven't been creatively busy.
This cute little toy crib is from the 1940's. Very shabby and very adorable, made in the same shape cribs were back then in Anatolia, Turkey.

With some brush cleaning and some black paint the body looked much better.

Then mum made a mattress, bedding and pillow.

The mattress is done the same style beds were made back then, between two layers of fabric there would be cotton, and it would be sewn together to keep its shape.

The blanket and pillow are made with a very traditional Turkish fabric.
Cribs were made without hardly any barriers as babies would be swaddled to the crib, so there was no way that they could fall out, needless to say that this system is hardly used anymore.

And I made an evil eye protection, as even toy babies can use some extra :)
The entire set is available at StarHomeStudio, perfect for doll collectors, especially folklore!
