MIX + MATCH: Industrial Vintage and Global Textiles

I came across this image while reading one of my favorite digital magazines, Lonny, and totally saw Magpie Fields  flair. To achieve a look like this, add vintage industrial lighting and touches of global textiles. Featured is the Shed Some Light and the Vintage Geometric Linens from our shop. 

All little more about the featured products:

Shed Some Light is an exclusive Magpie Fields lighting piece that we handmade.  The materials used were a vintage chicken feeder and fabric electrical cording.  There are two options available: black or brown cording.  The light was designed as a swag light creating flexibility for the light to be hung in multiple places in your space or hung as a pendant light.  $150 in the shop!

The Vintage Geometric Linens are just that. A simple, geometric design was woven to make these beautiful napkins.  With this neutral color palette the napkins blend in nicely on your table. Use as a charger, napkin, or designated space to place a candle. It's a nice touch and is $22 for the set of five in the shop!

One-of-a-kind pieces to add charm to your space. Once they're gone, they're gone!

Let's Meet up at the Farm!

I'm a busy bee prepping + polishing the entire collection and then some for the big show so please excuse my absence around here.  I'm looking forward to meeting you - hope to see you there! 

Spreading the love: MOCKINGBIRD DOMESTICS

There is a new home decor store, Mockingbird Domestics, that has recently opened in South Austin with a unique concept of featuring Texas artisans under one umbrella, Mockingbird Guild.

Each piece available at the store has a story, allowing customers to tell their own story. Blending modern, vintage, industrial, and global goods in their displays, Mockingbird Domestics has it all.  I've been anticipating my first visit ever since they opened their doors.  As I entered the store, I was warmly greeted and offered a cup of coffee - I felt instantly at home.  

The concept behind Mockingbird Domestics is to partner with Texas artisans to provide well-crafted home decor.  I'm so thrilled to announce that Magpie Fields is now part of the Mockingbird Domestics Guild! You will find Magpie Fields lighting, hardware, and textiles within the store. We couldn't be more excited about collaborating with the incredibly talented Mockingbird Domestics Guild. 

So with that exciting news being said, if you haven't had a chance to swing by Mockingbird Domestics and are in the Austin area, you definitely should.  

It's a one-of-a-kind home decor store and there is no doubt you will find much to please!

POPPING UP: COBALT BLUE

Say, hello to a color that you will become quite familiar with in the upcoming months, cobalt blue. This bold hue is popping up everywhere from fashion to interiors - and no one can seem to get enough.

I've recently been noticing cobalt paired with a deep wine red, which makes for a nice contrast. I fancy this color - you?!

Cute as pie!

I recently finished my first major project, and I'm so happy with the outcome!

 This past May, my dear friend, Morgan Bryant graduated from LSU Vet School (yay!! congrats congrats!!) and moved back to our home town for her and her husband to accept wonderful job opportunities.  With moving back home, Morgan and her husband, Cole, purchased their first home! It's darling! She has excellent taste.

Morgan wanted to blend in a  vintage couch into her kitchen/breakfast area.  Her kitchen is so precious, with it's apple green cabinets and Anthropolgie white floral knobs. The couch was handed down from her mother, and was fab from the get-go; the fabric was just worn down.

With all that in mind, we set out to find the perfect fabric.  Morgan has always loved red, and my mimi worked in interiors for years and always said, "there should be a touch of red in every room".  Let's just say, Morgan got her touch of red!

With the dominant hues of red, I decided to paint the couch in a high gloss dover white.

And here is the final product! Isn't it cute as pie?!!
