Get The Look: Blue, White & Bamboo

How can you possibly make Blue & White any better? One word: Bamboo. This week we found some inspiration combining two of our favorite styles. Blue and white never goes out of style then just throw in a touch of bamboo and you've got yourself a stunning room.

A Kate Spade Dinner Party

Summer is the perfect time to throw a Kate Spade Dinner Party. We are loving her color pallet this season. Let's be honest we love her colors every season. 

Find these pieces here and here.

 We threw a Kate Spade Dinner Party recently. It was a hit and we'll share how simple it was to put together.

Floral place mats give the table a pop of color. 

 

Combine lemons and pink roses for an quick, beautiful center piece. 

The Kate Spade Book Clutches make for perfect decorations.

Find the book clutches here.

We also combined classic dinnerware with silver goblets for an elegant twist.

Even Eliza was enjoying herself.

Send us pics of your party! xo

The Wedding & The Beauty Tip

We were invited to a gorgeous wedding on a farm recently and had a beautiful evening with delicious food and great friends. The decorations were perfect for the setting with just a pop of color. We've said it before - coral is really having its moment right now. 

Congratulations to the wonderful couple!

We were talking to one of our friends when she casually remarked that she had put apple cider vinegar in her hair and that it had made it remarkably soft. We were surprised to find out that she was right, her hair was undeniably silky. So we went home and dug around our cabinets and pulled out our apple cider vinegar and put it to the test.

It worked! We couldn't believe how soft and silky our hair was. All you do is simply pour some over your head in the shower and let it sit for a minute or two and rinse it out. It doesn't leave a scent behind but it sure makes your hair smooth! 

Give it a whirl!

Deer Valley

This Christmas, SWI Vintage's Tenesa Wildermuth, and her family traveled to Deer Valley, Utah and spent five beautiful days skiing. While they were out there, she captured these breathtaking shots and we wanted to share a few of her photos with our followers. As much as Tenesa loves vacationing in the sun and spending time at the beach, she said there is something so special about the vast mountains and natural beauty they experienced while skiing. She also loved all of the cozy cabin decor of their resort and said it was the perfect setting for Christmas.

 

 Enjoy the weekend!

SWI Vintage Christmas

Happy holidays from SWI Vintage! Christmas is one of our favorite times of the year, and we love getting into the spirit by listening to Christmas music and wrapping gifts for friends and family.

Have a Merry Christmas! 

All the best in the New Year,

A Crush on Blush

It all started with the nude shoe in fashion, and now blush is quickly becoming the "new neutral." From accents in the home to embellished dresses, this color exudes a touch of femininity, tenderness, and luxury. Now old Hollywood glamor meets the modern day in this beautiful color. SWI Vintage would like to introduce a few of our latest furniture pieces that have been lacquered in blush and finished with lovely gilt detailing on hardware and around the quatrefoil edging. We love the soft, romantic lines that these pieces exude and bring to a room.
