Do you consider yourself a grandmillennial? A friend of mine sent me a link to this article and said: “This is you.” Ha! Upon reflection, I’m fairly certain I qualify, though I tend to favor a mix of styles in my own home. We have some sleek and modern pieces, some more casual coastal pieces, some Ralph Lauren-esque, masculine pieces, and then, for example, an outrageous set of antique bronze candle sconces with bows at the top I scored on Etsy a few weeks ago that epitomize the grandmillennial vibe. (These are similar.) I bought them to flank an enormous portrait we have hanging in our dining room — and so the room is truly a mix of the modern and the traditional, with hints of the grandmillennial tucked in for good measure.
Below, sharing some of my favorite grandmillennial finds, whether you’re full-force or just dipping your toe in the pool:
FLORAL TEA TOWELS (ALSO LOVE THESE)
JADEITE TUMBLERS (WOULD BE PRETTY AS BUD VASES WITH PEONIES TUCKED IN EACH)
MATILDA GOAD SCALLOPED LAMP SHADES
WICKER WRAPPED ICED TEA GLASSES
SCALLOPED LINEN COCKTAIL NAPKINS
VINTAGE NEEDLEPOINT PILLOW (WOULD BE SWEET IN A NURSERY) OR VINTAGE NEEDLEPOINT POODLE PILLOW
And to get the grandmillennial vibe in your wardrobe: chintz tote, Tabitha Simmons mules, Emilia Wickstead magic, anything by Batsheva, floral blouse ($70!), Thierry Colson top, HHH nap dresses, wicker elephant bag.
P.S. Some of my favorite products for home, plus some chic and affordable furniture finds.
P.P.S. Remember how my old apartment was named Louise? I feel like my new one might be named Charlotte — a little younger but still high maintenance, a little bit stuck in her ways. We have arched doorways and a very traditional layout (no open floor plans), but high ceilings and lots of dramatic molding.
P.P.P.S. Thoughts on decorating a studio apartment, among other things.
