Our Classic & Collected Lookbook was created to help you visualize spaces that feel lived in and thoughtfully composed. Each concept board pairs classic pieces from brands we love with curated vintage and antique finds, illustrating how layers of old and new can create depth and warmth.
These boards aren’t meant to show a finished room, but to help you build a classic look over time, layering pieces that feel lasting and thoughtfully chosen.
ABOUT THE LOOK.
Designed with an appreciation for traditional forms and enduring materials, this bathroom concept centers on a dark wood vanity layered with aged brass and thoughtfully chosen antiques, creating a space that feels timeless, grounded, and lived in.
To anchor the look, we selected the 17th Century Updated Traditional Wood and Marble Vanity by Kathy Kuo Home. The molded paneling and classic drawer details add a sense of refinement, while the drop-style drawer pulls bring in a simple, traditional touch.
To enhance the vintage character of the design, we paired the vanity with a double-handle antique brass faucet, chosen for its graceful silhouette. An ornate vintage-style mirror in an antique gold finish, featuring decorative molding at the corners, adds balance and visual interest while reinforcing the traditional tone of the space.
For added depth and pattern, we introduced a dark blue and green plaid wallpaper. Its timeless, heritage-inspired design brings richness and a quiet sense of luxury to the room without overwhelming it.
Finally, we incorporated one of our favorite equestrian prints. Set in a beautiful traditional frame, it adds character and a sense of history, reinforcing the collected feel that defines this space.
To complete the look, we layered in a few thoughtfully curated antique and vintage accents from our shop, rounding out the signature classic and collected aesthetic we bring to every design.

COMPLETE THE LOOK: PAIR OUR CURATED ANTIQUE & VINTAGE HOME ACCENTS.
No space ever feels complete without the soul and authenticity that vintage and antique accents bring. These pieces add depth, texture, and a sense of history that new items alone can’t replicate.
For this look, we selected three simple pieces that add an incredible amount of character. First, we chose a vintage tapered Windsor-style chair. Its slimmer, more refined silhouette makes it especially well suited for smaller spaces like a bathroom, while still offering the warmth and presence of a classic wood piece.
Next, we layered in a large antique stoneware jug. Styled on the chair with a sprawling faux stem, it introduces a rustic, found quality that feels organic and effortless.
To finish the look, we added a set of solid brass fluted candlesticks. Their warm patina adds subtle ambiance and reinforces the timeless, collected feel that ties the entire space together.
