Places to Go for Vintage Inspiration

So you are all in a vintage frame of mind this morning? Me too! It’s been just awesome to see the response to our Revive A Vintage Contest. To be honest I was a little worried that it would flop and no one would enter.* But now that I don’t have to stress over that, let’s  start a list of places that you can find some vintage to inspire your project.

Ladies’ Visiting Toilette (1895)

(more…)

And by here, I mean SFO, but. 

This place already holds so many good memories for me - Spring breaks, weekend trips, stopovers after Japan; lunch at Google HQ, getting meta at Facebook, road trips down the coast, late nights making lemonade in the backyard, otters at Monterey... Ben has done an amazing job of making me fall in love with this place [and him] in such a short time.

Every time I land here, I can almost hear him geeking out about how it looks like you're going in the water, but the runway comes up to meet you at the last second; I stick my face to airplane windows to catch last glimpses of his old office (now Virgin America's) and the Apple campus, the only two buildings here I can recognize from the air. But nostalgia aside it really is beautiful, especially at night.

SFO can be unbelievably lonely without him [see: this] but now that we've pretty much walked through every part of every terminal here, I try to let myself be comforted by each memory's presence... and then pay for it later (aka now) with some intense nostalgia-turned-insomnia.
