8 15 Tips For an Urban Wedding
Maybe I'm slightly biased because I'm having my wedding at a renovated smog check center, but I was so happy to read on Style Me Pretty that "brick is the new backyard." Glitz and glam ballrooms and rustic, country fields can be beautiful wedding settings, but I'm all about the less-obvious, rough-around-the-edges venues. If you're with me, I've rounded up my favorite chic industrial weddings to Read more
I love the look of the Sundance Catalog's Midcentury Studio Stool ($245). The varnished raw steel has an understated, industrial look that seems as fitting for a bistro or bar counter as a kitchen or home office. At 27 inches tall and 17 inches wide, they're also a great size — big enough but not too hefty. Unfortunately, if you want someone else to sit at your countertop with you, it'll cost Read more
My lecture hall days may be over, but I'm still loving the industrial schoolhouse aesthetic of this office styled by Canadian magazine editor, stylist, and decorator Margot Austin. From the galvanized metal file cabinet to the linen grain sack pillow, every item seems to have a history. The black/metal desk and sunburst mirrors are a bit more contemporary, which keeps the room from looking too Read more
The juxtaposition of these Factory Vessels ($58-$62) by Up in the Air Somewhere with some fresh, vibrant blooms would make for a wonderful sight. I'd love to create a mini-industrial landscape in my home with these elegant smokestacks. In general, I love the contrast of the rough and gritty with the innocent and delicate. Pretty, girly things aren't hard to come by, but I thought I'd track down Read more
I've always been a fan of industrial furnishings, like this vintage peg leg cart, but use too much of them and your home starts to look like a factory. The Wisteria Aluminum Side Table ($165) has an urban, industrial edge, but its polished aluminum makes it a bit more contemporary, and appropriate for my oh-so-avant-garde digs. I think pairing it with natural materials, like the stones here, can Read more
. . . would you decorate your mantel with this Rare 1940s Balloon Mold ($3,800) from an old American toy factory? If Money Weren't an Issue . . . Absolutely — it's so unique and fun! Maybe — if I had an industrial look going on. No way — that is simply not display-worthy. Other, I'll tell you in the comments. Read more

In the next installation of Found It!, I bring you the Vintage Industrial Peg Leg Cart ($799) from American Furnishings. You may have seen this cart used as a coffee table in the boho-modern living room of a couple living in Malmö in my Coveted Crib. In my post, I wrote, "I also adore their coffee table, which looks like a re-purposed dolly (with wheels) of some sort." Apparently, I adored it Read more
