Week end Findings: Furniture

 

So here are the finds of the beginning of the week: a doll house's furniture! It was a lot of fun for me to take the pictures, i also made the little pillows with some vintage fabrics i had at home.

Everything is in such a great condition, it is also such an adorable work with lots of details: did you notice the drawers in the kitchen's dresser, the wood in the fireplace and the books on the bookshelf?

The all set is from the 1950 made in GRD and will be soon in the shop! Stay tuned!!!

Let's introduce ourselves We are Caroline and Olivier, a French couple living in Berlin, with our baby girl. We have a passion for vintage objects and architecture since, and very recently we decided to open our brand new vintage shop on Etsy: Öppning. Three years ago, we used to live in Paris, and we both had good, but unsatisfying office jobs. Both of us also had a passion on the side. And we shared a dream: making our passions become our everyday jobs. One day we had the crazy idea of quitting our jobs. We moved to Berlin after falling in love with this amazing city full of history. And we started our businesses: Olivier is a film music composer (http://www.ogmusik.com/) and Caroline is a full time crafter (http://www.excusemy.fr/). We were soon to realize that Berlin was a vintage Paradise, and that we could satisfy our other common passion: vintage!   Stay tuned and join our blog, our fan page, or our twitter

Berlin is vintage ! Café n°1

There is really a huge trend around vintage in Berlin, especially in cafés and bars. Here is our first selection of a nice little family café close to the very famous Mauerpark, the biggest flee market of Berlin. We'll have the chance to talk about this one soon.

Kauf Dich Glücklich is a comfy place to have a latte macchiato with one of their VERY famous waffles. Indeed, they are so famous that sometimes there is a crazy 45 minutes line !

But as you can see on the picture, we prefere to go there in a quieter moment.

All the funiture and decoration is vintage, and you can even buy some of it inside. Lamps, sofas, chairs, even some antique black and wite family pictures hanging in the wall !
