Guest Post: A Little Vintage Style

You know how much I love to blend vintage touches in my design, so today I am happy to have Mari from Arcadian Home blog to guest post on vintage spaces and styles.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Hello, everyone! It’s Mari here. I'm so happy to be with you at AM Dolce Vita today with a guest post from Arcadian Home blog. It's a great place to find interior design inspiration including decorating ideas for everything from beautiful folding screens to crystal chandeliers. Today, let’s take a look at vintage spaces. We’ll go from the living room to the kitchen and then to the bedroom and just outside on the patio. I’ve brought along eight rooms to inspire you to explore the limitless possibilities of chic vintage style. Please enjoy! Thanks for letting me visit for a bit. ~ Mari
 
Vintage Style
First up is one of my favorite vintage rooms. It seems every single detail is perfect including the smiling leather hippo at the end of the sofa. Speaking of the sofa, isn’t it magnificent in vibrant green velvet with a pop of lilac in the toss pillow? I love the little flower-covered chair and the vintage brass coffee table is gorgeous atop the Moroccan rug.

Vintage Style
From layered rugs on the floor to the delicate Mid-Century light fixture overhead, this is a dining room with lots of vintage charm. Don’t you love the color and texture of the rugs?

Vintage Style
This living room is part of a whole house retro redo. A new vintage-look Moroccan rug is beautiful with the patchwork leather pouf and tons of vintage pieces. Potted plants add their own version of vintage appeal. How cool is the colorful piñata near the overscale floor lamp?

Vintage Style
Is it possible to have too much vintage brass in an interior space? This gorgeous dining room seems to want to answer that question with an emphatic “no.” From the chic table and chairs to the quirky long-legged bird wall art and other decorative objects, the brass is totally amazing.

Vintage Style
This chic pale bedroom is awash in vintage style from floor to ceiling. The gray bedding is beautiful with oh so soft color and gorgeous textural pattern. Isn’t the vintage glass pendant light absolutely perfect for this appealing space?

Here, a built-in storage unit has a nice little desk area with library shelves on either side. A gorgeous little curvy chair and red and blue rug add vintage charm to the space.
 
Vintage Style
This black and white kitchen is all about vintage style, as is the adjacent breakfast nook. Pops of red and green look pretty with the black cabinets and white tile backsplash.
 
Vintage Style
A beautiful and inviting eclectic solarium is filled with lots of vintage style. Colorful rugs cover the tile floor, drape over seating and cover pillows. A lovely little Moravian star pendant light can be seen in the background.

Thanks Mari for sharing these beautiful vintage interiors. My favourite has to be the bedroom with the vintage glass chandelier...so dreamy. I might just get one for our guest bedroom.
