Monkey Find: Factory 20

Had I known about Factory 20 sooner, I would have really been saving those pennies. With a refined eye, this design collective out of Virgina salvages unique antiquities, curates curiosities and breathes new life into the forgotten. Can you wrap up all of it? Thank you.

Monkey Find: Go Find

Though I sometimes lean too much towards the modern, with clean lines and natural materials, I also find the fun in searching out unique and unusual vintage finds to pepper my space. With a bohemian farmhouse sensibility (no, really—you can search their stuff under bohemian farmhouse), the duo behind Go Seek brings a sense of humor and care in collecting these curiosities. You can also find their handcrafted silver jewelry (like these charming little travel pennants) among their Etsy shop treasures.

Monkey Find: Luola

Out of the Williamette Valley, Luola is a affordable little Etsy shop filled with both classic and kitschy vintage Danish treasures that if in a Los Angeles store would be much more costly (silly though that may be). Each piece is perfect to pepper your house (or your neck like that French scarf) with character, whimsy or just a bit of retro fun. The bread board, with its nooks and crannies to catch crumbs and it's waffle-esque shape, is first on my list.

Space Monkey: Irish Fusion

Irish-born Danielle Mac Innes' quirky, flea-market-meets-modish perspective is just as fresh as the green countryside and boldly chic like the London and Dublin locales of her interior design firm, FUSE. With an ever-changing array of unique treasures and an inventive spin on defining a space, her vintage online shop and her equally interesting blog are worth scouting. Yes, it might make you wish you were vacationing in the Emerald Isle so you could pop in and say hello, but it's marvelously inspirational from afar nonetheless.

Monkey See

There are so many ways to celebrate the art of being a stylish shutterbug! Whether you're actually getting in focus or just placing these lovely vintage contraptions on display, celebrating the history of photography is always fun.

Blog Find: SF Girl By Bay

There are many loves in my life, but two of them--San Francisco & vintage-inspired design-- can be found in Victoria Smith's beautiful SF Girl By Bay. Don't miss her Unexpected Guests posts where you can read about artists and designers from New York to Tokyo and everywhere in between.
