Vintage Interiors around the Blog World

 

Photo Source: David Prince Photography: Vintage Interiors

Rarely, do I use other people's photography on my blog. But there are so many wonderful, creative, inspiring artists out there that I cannot help but share a few of my favorites. Especially those depicting vintage, old, antique filled interiors: A visual feast of inspiration.

I have added the links to the photographer's blogs listed below each photo or the series of photo by the same photographer.

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

 

 

   

 

Photo Source of the top three photos: Etapartca:

Etapartca collects and creates with items she had found at the brocante and yonder.

Femine, ton sur ton (same neutral color theme). 

 

 

 

Photo Source Andrea Brugi: "His handcrafted designs have a strange touch of naivety- yet at the same time they are very contemporary and modern."

 

 

Photo source: Ditte Isager Photographer, born and raised in Copenhagen Denmark. Shooting interiors, personalities, lifestyle and travel. The style is simple nordic. Working with contrast in materials, light, color and objects. Inspiration comes from the light in the Dutch masters, storytelling and effects from motion pictures and the style. 

 

 

Photo source: Photo me & Alice, Mostly white, full of light. Simply stated objects creating a carefree still life. 19th century confiture jars with a silver dome hanging on the wall. Me & Alice is a blog you could live on for days at a time.

 

 

Cement sink with copper tubes used for understated faucets. Wooden fruit racks instead of a dish drainer.

 

Chic chandeliers hanging above, shedding a different sort or light, on the convent style table and benches below.

 

 

Photo source: Cote Bastide. (top three photos) Luckily, and I mean luckily, I live close to two of Cote Bastide main shops, one in Aix en Provence and the other in Lourmarin. A must see. Again ton sur ton color theme, using natural elements with a mixture of antiques and their own beautifully reproduced items. Cote Bastides style is like a convent with a regard towards elegance. Holy and pure.

 

 

Books as a backdrop , with a early 1800 hemp and burlap covered sofa.

 

Hemp covered modern cut sofa, sits in front of a mid century, old style coffee table. The mixutred of varied antiques and old things work together creating a harmony that is hard to do when using various period pieces.

 

 

Music stand gives way to music sheet wallpaper.

 

 

 

French provencal rustic chair and table, with eighteen century wooden candlesticks, a glass holds a yellow rose and a hemp sheet is folded on the chair.

 

 

Holy water font, marble shell used as a sink. Subtle colors trace the details along the walls.

OMG; it's not that we could live for days in those photos you chose but that WE DO LIVE in them... glorious choice and wonderfully presented! I think there is not one I don't like 'à folie'.... :)

I absolutely love the 19th century confiture jars! I have a thing for clear glass..

[Rhonda P.]

Beautiful inspiration - natural and pure describes these rooms so well.

Wish we had a branch of "Cote Bastide" in Seattle! Are they represented in the States? Dang. I guess I will have to move back to my beloved Southern France then. Veronique aka French Girl in Seattle

corey-in my very humble opinion your photos can certainly run with these PLEASE OH PLEASE MAKE THAT BOOK....even without words/stories it would still be fabulous-the eye of each photographer is so unique...a talent i do not posess...oh or even a small book of your receipes... with your pictures a SURE BESTSELLER...(i always have to search the archieves if i wish to make one)- love what is presented here for sure-especially the crown bed scene- but simply adore yours more JUST THINK ABOUT IT!!!

I'm so "into" glass cloches it's not even funny - it's a necessity with three maurading cats who think they're graceful but they're not.

If I could get a cloche for my harps, I would in an instant! And then I'd put them all in a music-sheet-wallpapered room. What a dream!

[Helene]

The essence of these beautiful photos is your personal eye for detail. The photos are beautiful but your comments drawing attention to the pertinent detail is what really makes them special. I know you are busy but the world needs your book!

[Denise]

I know someone who takes pictures every bit as beautiful as those above AND she could take them all of her very OWN house to show. This very same person should write a book about the brocante and decorating with brocante finds; a real how-to book for brocante neophytes who really would like to know how to go about it.

Need I say more?

Me and Alice pic sooooooo nice...also nice of you to credit each photo. I'm afraid I was remiss in not knowing enough to do so early in my blog life when I was smitten by the mood you created one day and I used your pic of your peaceful bathtub. Apologies...a bad blog blunder on my part.

Dear Corey,

Hello! I was just looking for some interesting ideas and experience in Paris, for when my husband and I visit this Sept. And I'm so pleased that I came across your beautiful blog.

I'd be very interested in knowing about places/ shops/ events that you might have in mind for the last week of september? Do you have any recommendations?

Thank you for sharing your lovely photos and informative posts.

Regards,
Natasha.
