when i saw this post on miss moss i was amazed and loved it instantly. as much as i would like to think i am a neutral girl sometimes, it really cannot be denied - i love colour! so this industrial style shop filled with colourful flowers had me at the first image. this shop belongs to a mother-daughter florist combo in singapore and has been blogged by
lilreddotfolks who capture the spaces of inspiring people.
what i love particularly about the space is that it is an aesthetic that is industrial, fun, and its a look that can be created inexpensively. just cos something is not expensive doesn't mean it looks drab. how bright and fun is this space!
the image above is a great one. warm lighting with wall-mounted crates and a chalkboard painted island. crates like this can be obtained from local wine shops that sell expensive wine. quite often they have no use for them so you can pick them up without breaking the bank. alternatively if you cannot source them, you can make them! they are not complicated and could be made quite simply. the chalkboard island could be done with an old piece of furniture you already have or one that you pick up on the side of the road that needs a revamp. put on a lick of paint, replace the handles and bang! an industrial style funky storage unit!
again a super simple yet effective aesthetic. plywood panels with chalk writing and a ladder. both very easily obtained without breaking the bank. and the best thing about chalk - you can change it up depending on your mood or the season!
more cute details. step ladder is an ikea buy, vintage crates can be purchased on ebay (old fruit crates etc.) or you could stain some wine boxes if you have any left over from your wall unit above.
metal screen with plants! love! industrial and fresh! and there is that ikea stepladder and a crate. such an effective aesthetic and yet not a complicated one!
