Sometimes you don’t set out to start collecting things, but it happens anyway. That’s been the case with us and coffee table books. Of course, they’re not just coffee table books, but books that are not only beautiful to display but full of imagery and words that inspire. Personally, I want our coffee table and shelves full of books we actually like to pick up and read every now and again.

Below, I’ve rounded up some books we have and love, some books on our radar, and some vintage options too!

Our collection is equal parts vintage and new. Anytime I’m at a thrift store or antique shop, I always make sure to look through the book section. There’s almost always a few treasures to be found and if you don’t find yourself at a lot of vintage shops, you can still get your vintage fix on Etsy, eBay, Chairish, or 1stDibs! We have these books and love them, and just started collecting these books after seeing them on Instagram.

what I’m shopping for on Etsy right now

I’ve recently fallen head first into a love affair with shopping on Etsy. I spent over 10 years with an Etsy store, but never shopped on Etsy for myself during those years. Probably because I never had extra money to spend on shopping outside of necessities.

Since we’ve been social distancing, I realized that now more than ever, it’s important to support small shops and so many of them are on Etsy. For me, every single sale on Etsy made a huge difference. Sometimes it meant if I was able to pay a bill on time or not. For this reason, I have a special place in my heart for shop owners on there and want to help them as much as possible! For me, that means shopping on there when I can and sharing shops with you all.

I’ve shared some Etsy finds over on Reserve Home a lot over the last few weeks, and you all seem to love them! So I thought I would fill you in on what I’m favoriting right now. Hope you enjoy!

1 — Alabaster fruit! I just got my own set, and love them so much.

2 — This shop has so many incredible vintage and collectible posters. Some are art posters, and some are vintage advertisements. All work beautifully as artwork for your walls.

3 — In an attempt to cozy up our place, I’ve been on the hunt for table lamps. I absolutely love this cutie.

4 — This shop has a ton of unique ceramic vase options. I have the beige option above in my cart right now!

5 — A more affordable poster shop and one with many incredible prints like this Matisse exhibition poster. The colors are right up my alley.

6 — I’m currently on the hunt for an antique pier mirror for our living room, and in my search I’ve come across some truly beautiful pieces like these.

7 — My new favorite Etsy search terms behind “marble fruit” is “lamp to lay” … how pretty is this delicate fixture?!

8 — My beloved donut vases are currently sold out from H&M, but this handmade spin on them is even better!

9 — I cannot believe I’m sharing this, since there’s only one and I want it. Badly.

10 — Etsy is THE place to find handmade ceramics. This shop has a variety of dinnerware and drinkware to choose from, all in beautiful colors.

11 — No explanation necessary, right?! WANT.

12 — While the wooden fixture in our dining room is discontinued, there are so many similar options on Etsy. I particularly love this shape, but this shop has a ton of options!

13 — This shop is so beautifully curated, I can hardly handle it. The texture on this vintage vessel is gorgeous.

14 — Decor that doubles as art.

15 — The cutest little ceramic shell trinket box.

Excited to put together another list for you soon! xoxo
