etsy shop the old red hen

etsybrocante1.jpg

Simple, clean, and classic. These are the words that can be used to describe the vintage finds of Julie, the owner of Etsy shop The Old Red Hen. Thrifting, antiquing, and collecting have been part of Julie’s life since she was a young girl.

Her mother, grandmother, aunts & uncles have always filled their homes with timeworn treasures and interesting relics. Julie would never tire of looking at unusual vintage pieces or hearing stories of where they’d come from.

branch pendant

I have been posting several blogs in which branches were used for various decoration purposes (such as branch bannisters, a branch hanger, a branch as wall decoration) . This branch pendant that was featured on decor8 fits really well in this series of posts.

The beautiful pendant was created by Anna-Malin Lindgren, you can read how she made it here.

our new chairs

We are happy with our new chairs that arrived last Friday! The chairs are made from scrapwood by Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek. I think they match really well with our living room which used to be a cow stable.

The pendant lights are from IKEA and the baby chair is from Stokke. I love the white porcelain teapot which is handmade by Spanish label Sargadelos. The large vases are from Le Souk, as well is the wooden tray which is also designed by Piet Hein Eek.
