TPG in Real Life, vol. 1

Do y'all remember this birdcage & this picnic basket?  They are stylin' & profilin' in customer G.'s place! 

I'm a very visual person, so I think it's helpful when you can see how you'd actually use something as seemingly random as a birdcage or a picnic basket to make your house a home.  I am thrilled to show you some real life photos from one of our customers.  Thanks & thanks again to customer G. for sharing with us how she is using some items that she bought a few weeks ago!! 

 I love how she used the birdcage above a bookshelf to add some depth and weight to the empty space on top.  Good layering with a large Paris frame & some candlesticks, too! 

The picnic basket serves as the "catch-all" for mags, remotes, and even a blanket in G.'s living area.  I like how it goes with the wooden end table, but I think picnic baskets like this would also be great painted! 

Lastly, G. snagged this end table before it ever went live on the blog, but we wanted to share it with you anyways!  Will be on the lookout for more tables like this because they are functional AND cute!  This type of end table is great when space is limited, because you get storage on the bottom and some just enough space for a coffee mug, few books, & an iPad on top.  And... did anyone else notice G's elephant Herend?  TPG officially has her eyes peeled!

Have you bought something from The Preppy Gypsy?  We'd LOVE to see how you're using it!  Email us a few photos at the[dot]preppy[dot]gypsy[at]gmail[dot]com -- not only would we love to see how you're using your PG items, but it would bring us much joy to share how you're using them in real life, too!
