i spy: factory girl.

i do like a bit of industrial strength edge to my decor. a few strong, muscular pieces thrown around a pretty room, add character and a hint of rugged masculinity for contrast. boy meets girl, girl meets boy…it sometimes works! so today i’ve got my i spy on the softer side of your typical factory girl.

now this is a creative and high-tech idea — patchwork wall panels from ixxi that you create yourself from your own photo enlargement. brilliant!

‘e’ is for excellent, from typos; i’ve always wanted some vintage bertoia chairs, like these from dusty deco; love this wilcox stool from anthropologie; ummm, did you have any idea my idol diane keaton has a line of dinnerware, k by keaton? well, she does! hey, we can’t always be number one, there’s no shame in being number two, from vintage seventy five; love this caroline gomez petit torche lamp i saw over on design milk…industrial and pretty! and this is fun little entry piece — the atrium console table from urban outfitters.

you can crown yourself king or queen with this wall art from 33 stewart avenue; i would very much like this far & wide wall sconce to show up on my doorstep; and even chipped up old chairs look pretty great in the right setting, via red magazine; the mash studios PCH series console shelf is functional looking, yet totally stylish; i think a bon bon tin needs a new life, from sunday brocantes; and how about displaying some cute lollipops? love these fancy filigrees from vintage confections.






















I LOVE those lollipops! They’re fantastic!
The patchwork is awesome! I was looking for something to cover the biggest wall in my house and I think I found it, now :)
Also the tripod lamp is really cute! It remembers me a bit of the Muuto wooden lamp I’ve. One of my favorite.
Thanks for sharing all these amazing things and inspiring us.
Ciao.
Wow! So many wonderful items. :) Thank you for sharing Victoria.
I love those letters from Typos! May need a letter or two for our new kitchen remodel!

I love the chairs and the cans..hug Johanna
The crown is killer!
Yes yes and yes!! I am currently obsessed with industrial modern! Those Bertoia chairs would look amazing in any room, anywhere. Just last week I saw two sitting outside of a boutique in Seattle and I fell in love all over again. Great post!! xx
I really like the string photo display. We have a friend sending us post cards from all over the world and I’ve been looking for an attractive way to display them. This looks good:)
I love the pink lamp cord!
Those lollies are rocking!!
