I'm thinking spring!
We are snow covered today, a rare occurrence this winter, but knowing that spring is just around the corner, I really don't mind. These images have me not only wanting to pull the bikes out of the shed and hit the road but also take a hard look at a couple of old bikes that probably should be retired!

I've always been inspired by images of apartments where you see a bike parked in the entryway. It gives the space a kind of energy and provokes thoughts of a fast paced lifestyle in the big city.

...or maybe not always so fast paced!
In terms of decor, a vintage little bike, like the one above, would be adorable just being part of a space like a nursery- whether it's functional or just for display purposes. But...
What I'm really loving are the beautiful vintage bikes that I'm seeing as part of garden design.

Keep an eye out for old bikes at flea markets and yard sales- they are usually very inexpensive and sometimes free. A less creative person may be glad to just get rid of them ;)

Park a brightly painted bike with some coordinating flowers in a vintage looking basket near your front door or leaned up against a tree in the front yard and watch the neighbors swoon!
Pretty businesses do it- you can too!

Have a beautiful day!
I want a bike with a basket! These are wonderful and look so great parked out front. We have a foot of snow right now but it should be going bye~bye over the next few days as it warms up...can't wait!

Thanks Michelle - I needed some pretty bikes in my day. I also like when a bike is displayed for decor or hung on a wall - I always think that's pretty cool. I'm ready for spring! How's the kitchen project going?
ReplyDeletelove these images--nothing like a vintage bike, they were so beautifully made. Can't wait to get mine out for a ride soon! Have a great day! Barbara
