Getting Lost

I love the Design District and decided to venture down to Lost Antiques after reading that The Pink Pagoda (whose prints I have featured before!) has a booth there. I had an amazing time and found so many lovely items that spoiled my eyes. I literally got lost in Lost on Saturday!

Isn't The Pink Pagoda's booth divine? I love all the bamboo, elephants and blue in white!
On second thought, I think it is because it reminds me of my kitchen :)
The Pink Pagoda also has lots of her prints available for purchase in her booth. If you are in Dallas you should check them out here rather than on Etsy...instant gratification!

If you have been to The Mermaid Bar at Neiman Marcus the above likely looks familiar. It is red rather than blue, but is by the same artist, Bjorn Wiinblad, that did the NM ceramic mural. This piece is from the Trammell Crow collection and can be yours for $13,000.

This was another favorite booth of mine. Everything was so affordable and good looking. That lovely chair was just $89 and the ottoman was under $50.

There was loads of fun china in this booth as well as numerous candlesticks. In fact, the above antique replica candlesticks were just $10!

See, I promise I am not the only one that paints my walls bright pink :)

I was in search of gold sconces on Saturday and this was as close as I came to finding the perfect pair. However, they still did not go home with me as I was not 100% in love with them. They were beautiful though!

I loved this revamped antique vanity stool. The pink zebra had me from across the room.

These chairs were so vibrant and just FUN! They were only $135 for the pair which goes to show that antique stalls are not only often cuter than chain stores, but much more affordable too.

Wouldn't this pink croc chair be darling in an office?

Chinoiserie goods were everywhere at Lost!

This Baker chest was just darling and also had a great price tag. It would make a perfect side table or even a nightstand.

I feel in love with this unique, mahogany table. The shape was so different and the shelves were perfect for additional storage. I can think of so many places for this piece!



Last but certainly not least is my favorite find of the day...the almost two foot chinoiserie monkeys I spotted as soon as I walked through the front door. While I only got a photo of one, there was a set; the more the merrier :) These were just stunning and as you know I adore monkeys and elephants and decor so these were right my my alley.


Lost was full of so many fabulous finds as was Found which is right next store (yes, they are called Lost and Found). It's easy to see how I got lost now, isn't it?

You've inspired me to venture to our Antiques district and poke around. There are always great things to be found, aren't there?

GORGEOUS! I need all of it. We're still living in a "blank canvas" (which really means an undecorated mess, but I can't bring myself to decorate yet.)

I'm an Interior Designer and actually work in the Design District and LOVE Lost and Found... I go there all the time! Eat at the Blue Artichoke Cafe that is in Lost if you ever get a chance.

Thank you so much for featuring my booth at Lost on your incredible blog! I just found the feature last night, and it was a good thing since I didn't know that some of my framed items had sold and I have huge blank spots on the wall over the console table! Yikes!
