Home Tour: Kay Kornbluth {of One Kings Lane}

Today my handy dandy husband is pouring concrete for our extended patio.  I'm so excited and have wanted to do this for years.  Isn't it even more fun when you have looked at something for so long and wanted to change it and finally you get to?  I think it is very satisfying and makes me fall in love with my home all over again.

I want to take you on a very chic house tour, care of elle.com and home of One King Lane's third employee Day Kornbluth (Vice President of Merchandising).  This is a 2,200 sf Cobble Hill apartment which Kornbluth refurbished without the help of an architect.  She lives here with her husband, an internal medicine doctor, and their two children.  

For my part, a curator at One Kings Lane couldn't live anywhere else but here;  it's eclectic and super stylish.  

I am worshipful of anyone who can put together a vignette the way Kornbluth can!  I could just steal some of her furniture pieces and artwork and I could just move right into that kitchen.

Have a lovely Thursday,

Inspiration: One King's Lane

I was checking out the website, One King's Lane, and found these gorgeous blue and white plates for sale: a set of 6, for $145.  I am kind of quietly collecting this style for my back patio, but the price tag is a little steep.  I have been paying around $2 or $4 per plate.

Set of vintage plates, One Kings Lane, $145

So I was happy, but not too surprised when I found the same plates at our local antique store for a fraction of the price.

Look how many they have!

See?  Upside down, yes, but the same.  It pays to shop around, people!

 These lamps have nothing to do with the plates, above, in the sense that sadly, I have not found their doppelgangers hanging around any thrift or antique stores.  Unfortunately.  But they are gorgeous and deserve to be showcased.  And they're such a deal at only $1,500!

Look how pretty these are! Only $1,545.00!

So, remember, find your inspiration piece, but if it is too pricey, shop around!  Don't forget places like Marshall's, T.J. Maxx, thrift stores, and antique stores; you'd be amazed at what you can find.
Happy hunting!
