Do you like the sound of modern living with some old school character?

Let me introduce Kalyn. She is a New York girl with an eye for the coolest modern vintage finds for the home and she has a selection of rotating vintage stock that usually has a little turn in her home before being sold in her online etsy store, Gallivanting Girls. I actually stumbled upon her store a while back when I did a little post on affordable art and I’ve been following the store ever since. If she had a shop here in Auckland, I think I’d be visiting weekly – I really love her style.

Today I’ve listed my six favourite smallish items that could be popped in the post, but it doesn’t stop there; she has some serious items of furniture that I’d love to have in my home. Check out the Franco Albini style rattan coffee table or the small gold table with a round glass top or what about the Danish modern rocking chair… oh I could go on! So if you’re in New York, think yourself lucky.

For the rest of us, here’s my selection from left to right, top to bottom:

Art Deco Bookends

I could imagine these would look great nestled inside a crowded bookshelf amongst other little objects.

Neon Pink, Green & Gold Cuckoo Clock

This original German cuckoo clock has been hand painted by Kalyn and would look fabulous amongst a wall collage or all alone as a statement. Love!

Solid Brass Box

Described as a perfect desk or dresser organiser, this is really gorgeous and would always have a use in the home throughout the years.

Vintage Globe on Modern Brass Stand

Well I would love this for my kid’s room, but you don’t need kids to display a globe – especially a vintage one on a brass stand.

Perfectly Pink Olympia Typewriter

This typewriter is quite a piece and I adore the colours; pale bubble gum pink color with green/aqua and grey details – divine don’t you think?

Danish Modern Candle Stick

I’ve had my eye on some wood turned candle sticks for some time so had to include these.

There really are so many other wonderfully curated items at Gallivanting Girls, you really should check them all out for yourself.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
