surprising finds from rejuvenation

Emily Oster

Rejuvenation is largely known for its schoolhouse style lighting. With tons of variations and customizations, their lighting selection is a huge depository of options if you like that classic, a bit retro style - I personally do. But they also sell some amazing other household items that you wouldn't necessarily expect to find from them. 

Take these Danish Weave Stools

Available in three sizes, four finishes (copper not shown) and handcrafted in Portland, Oregon, these stools would work great in so many types and styles of rooms.

I love the weave texture which also comes as a bench.

I also really like the texture and shape of this Wire Chair. Definitely retro but if it were mixed with more modern and warm elements it would look killer. Toss a sheepskin on it - even better!

Moving away from furniture and into soft goods, I am really liking this collection of zipper pillows

Made exclusively for Rejuvenation by Leland Duck of Revive Upholstery & Design, I like the utilitarian quality of these. Although, a zipper is not the comfiest thing to lay your head on.

Rejuvenation also has a huge selection of design minded more functional home items like hardware, doors, appliances, faucets, sinks etc. For examples, this super beautiful faucet.

Made by Watermark just for Rejuvenation, this Tolson Wall Mount Faucet is inspired by an industrial handwheel and is available in three finishes. It looks pretty amazing when paired with this Alape Bucket Sink.

The Apron Front Carrera Marble Sink is another stunning piece although very expensive and I can't imagine what the shipping would be on this item. 

A last pick would definitely have to be this Copper Outdoor Shower. Great simple lines, not super expensive and all you have to do is just hook it up to your hose!

a brand new site for the place home!

Emily Oster

And we are back! Welcome to the whole new THE PLACE HOME! The website now represents THE PLACE HOME in its entirety - the blog, design assistance and home restoration (coming soon). It also features amazing photos of our home taken by the wonderful Emily Suzanne.

The new site has been a long time in the works and getting it built was a little more involved than I had anticipated. But I think all of the effort and time spent has totally been worth it! A special thanks to my sister and Jeff for all their edits, Emily Suzanne for being such a joy to work with and Rachael for her hard work in helping me to get the site to look and function just as I had envisioned it. 

We are still making a few tweaks but I couldn't wait any longer to share! There is a bunch of new content, images and pages to check out but a few highlights include...

  1. Our Home: The page devoted to images of our house! 
  2. Design Assistance: The page where you can learn more about my approach to design and working together (e-design clients welcome!).
  3. Blog Sidebar: Like the original design, here you can easily search content, follow THE PLACE HOME on social media, look at recurring series and check out the catalogues of old posts (THE BEAUTIFUL HOME, THE FUNCTIONAL HOME, THE HOME EXPERIENCED - still working on getting caught up on these). I also will be adding back our newsletter sign up as well as my picks for daily reads so keep an eye out for those.
  4. About: A new and improved page about my background and how THE PLACE HOME came to be plus lots of cute pictures of Booker.

I hope everyone likes the changes! Monday, I will be back to my regular blogging schedule. Happy weekend!

hygge & west - wallpaper

Emily Oster

As promised on Friday, below are some of my favorite wallpapers from Hygge & West. I selected different patterns from those available as fabrics; although, great additional wallpaper colorways are offered in the Foret, Serengeti, Daydream and Otomi patterns.

The Pineapple pattern by Rifle Paper Co. is one of my absolute favorites. Its retro but has been modernized with its available colorways. I think it would look great in a powder room or other small space.

Far less bold than the Pineapple pattern, the Canasta would work in a lot of different spaces and is available in three much more neutral colors. 

The Peony is another statement pattern by Rifle Paper Co. My favorite colorway is probably the blue or the copper.

Finally, the Parajito pattern by Laundry Studio is a whimsical and neutral pattern that I could see working well in a kids room or bathroom.

There are lots more great wallpapers available so check out Hygge & West's website to see more. Happy Monday!
