The Golden, Vintage-Inspired Home of Sarah Shabacon

I feel like I totally lucked out on Instagram yesterday. I struck upon the account of Sarah Shabacon. Not only does Sarah totally rock all her outfits, she also has a gorgeous family (including husband Ryan and sons Isaac and Ziggy) and the most beautiful home just outside Vancouver, British Columbia. Her personal style and home is testimony to her heritage – her grandfather was a collector, her grandmother is “the most glamorous woman I know” – and she spent her childhood exploring vintage shops with her Mother. Sarah’s shop BOHÈME – selling unique vintage items and ethically made pieces “with stories and lives lived far beyond your walls”  – was a natural evolvement. Welcome to a world filled with warm, golden tones and one-off treasures.

The Raffia Mirror is from Moroccan based online shop LRNC – warning: I just got stuck there for the best part of 30 minutes – they sell the most beautiful things! The cream pom pom cushion is available here*

The kitchen / dining area is made up of almost entirely natural materials including wood, rattan and fluffy sheepskin.

I love how her son is sitting on his heels – no way I could sit like that even for a few seconds!

How fab is this headboard? It’s an IKEA hack made up of two Mandal headboards which Sarah picked up on Craigs List.

Source a wooden clothes rack here*. The fan is from Bohème.

The pieces hanging in Sarah’s wardrobe represent the colour palette used throughout her home: rust, brown, cream and rose.

Ahhh, I so enjoyed this home tour. The warm tones, the one-off pieces, the natural materials, everything! How about you?

Could you imagine have a colour palette like this in your living space?

For more inspiration it’s totally worth hopping over to Sarah’s IG account.

Oh and look out for a mini tour of Ziggy and Isaac’s room later (it was way too pretty just to throw in at the end of this tour!).

For more sepia-inspired inspiration, you might like to check out: Audrey Rivet’s beige-tinted apartment (I never tire of her cat, he’s amazing!), Chestnut tones in a delightful Swedish family home and a lovely Stockholm home inspired by imperfection.

Vi ses senare!
