old?

I've been thinking about my last post and I think I left out a few things. I don't often buy "new" or modern things for my home. But I do have a few pieces of modern industrial things...

they just don't look new!

 

This gorgeous rolling cart looks like an old factory piece but it's new! I was given this item years ago to photograph for an online shop. It was such a blessing to work with them!!!

 

Can you believe these details? They look beautiful

and have a real worn industrial look!

 

Although I don't use a landline often, a phone is a must. But I don't like anything that looks modern. So here is a great solution! This phone was a Pottery Barn find. Wonderful!

 

 

Fans are a must in Florida!

Look at this little beauty.

It looks so vintage but it is new

and cools like a charm!

It's made by Holmes. 

 

This funny little guy isn't old

but he was made from reclaimed metal.

Notice his bottle top eyes!

It's industrial art. Fun! 

 

I thought I needed to add these things to my last post about industrial décor. It's a nice touch to all the creamy whites and natural woods in my home.

the industrial rolling shelves...

As my ever changing world continues to evolve I have to count my blessings. One blessing is my friendship with Jo Packham.

She is an amazing lady to say the least.

One of her many ventures is the proud introduction of

 

Create-ologie.

 

It is a fun and eclectic grouping of housewares available online at Create-ologie.com. Jo asked me to select a few pieces for features on my blog. What a treat and an honor.

 

The hardest part...only selecting a few!

The site is chalked full of wonderful treasures...

Here is the first of several postings...

 

the industrial rolling shelves

 

 

I adore my quirky beach house. But it is quirky.

There is no formal dining room. I have an eat-in kitchen

(which was featured in Where Women Cook...thanks Jo!)

and an open great room but no actual dining room.

So when it comes to entertaining I need to be creative.

One section of the living area gets transformed into additional seating for guests. The industrial rolling shelves from

Create-ologie really come in handy...

 

These rolling shelves become a mobile serving station!

It is remarkable just how much I can store and transport...

 

I can load the shelves with dishware, serving vessels, silverware, teacups, stemware and anything I may need for entertaining.

It wheels effortlessly from one table to the next

making serving a snap.

 

 

Plus it looks amazing! Industrial chic at its best...

 

The fact that it takes up very little floor space is an added bonus!

 

The details are amazing

and right on trend with vintage industrial goods...

 

The casters make it easy to transport loads of dishes...

 

The lines of these shelves are so simple yet they make a huge design impact. They would look as fabulous filled with old terra cotta pots in the garden as they do carrying fine crystal in a dining room!

 

This is just one of MANY uses I have found for these shelves.

I can't wait to share future posts with other terrific

Create-ologie products.
