Vintage is a key ingredient to bohemian decor. Whether they have been inherited from family, found thrifting or online, they bring stories of their past lives into your home. Lovisa Johansson, of Picky Sister Vintage, shares our sentiments.
She says: “ I think a central part of bohemianism is a love for items with a past. There is so much history and personality in these things, and that adds character to a home. (It is also) better for the environment. (Therefore, buying vintage is a part) of being mindful of what and how we consume, which goes hand in hand with bohemianism.”
Lovisa stands by her boho credo and lives her life accordingly. After traveling and studying abroad for many years, she resettled in her hometown of Gothenbyurg, Sweden and slowly filled her new (to her) apartment (in a building built in the 30’s) with vintage and handmade pieces.
Her 312 sq foot apartment is made up of a teeny entryway, tiny kitchen, and little bedroom. Despite it’s space limitations, her earthy-mod homey space feels cozy but not cramped. Strategically placed shelves keeps the items she loves on display without causing (or looking) cluttered. We love that amongst Lovisa’s treasures is a mug made by our friend Kenesha Sneed!
Lovisa’s desk, built by her great great grandfather in the 1860’s, is her most prized treasure. Her favorite thrifted item is a small rug that brings a pop of color into her little kitchen – and you know how we feel about color!
