Vintage Framed Cigarette Cards

One of our many talents here at Dustmuffin is to find pieces of art that simply need the correct frame to bring out their beauty.  For example, here are some vintage Thai cigarette cards.

Stay tuned to  the blog and I'll show you what we've done with old coffee sacks!

Treasures From Our Travels

On a recent trip to Turkey we picked up a selection of tiny perfume bottles.  The artisans blend colored and clear glass to produce these wonderfully delicate bottles.

As you probably know Turkey is not just about perfume bottles.  Turkey gives us one the clearest windows into ancient history.  From the Library of Celsus...

to Crusader castles, Turkey is fantastic vacation destination.

Redesigned furniture

See what a little love from Dustmuffin can do to furniture.  Repainted by Diana Jacobs the mirror and vanity are standouts.  The lamps are also vintage with new shades.

Talking of vintage, we have just acquired this beautiful Dayton, Ohio scale.

Repurposed Vintage Finds

Inside or out, here's what to do with a spittoon...

or a watering can...

or even a vintage metal jug...

Put a bird in it

Super cute felt birdhouses will have your feathered friends all-a-flutter.

Easy move-in, penthouse apartment for the urban bird.  Well situated, great views and cathedral ceilings make this the must-have pad of the year.

Wanna cuddle?

Snuggle up with this guy.  He's filled with lavender which is renowned for it's calming qualities.  What makes this doggie even better is you can heat him up.  Warm, cuddly and lavendery.  I'm feeling drowsy already.

And here's a picture of lavender growing in Sonoma.
