The lift-up lid and linen lining on our Glass Shadow Boxes make them the perfect spot for organizing jewelry or showcasing keepsakes. They look especially charming atop dressers, shelves and vanities.
Biggest style influence and why? Brigitte Bardot has always intrigued me. Her style is timeless, feminine, simple and yet comfortable. She somehow managed to be sexy without being vulgar. There are many other French style icons who I also admire, but none have the body or curves that make Ms. Bardot so relatable.

Lwany found this vintage sewing machine at a garage sale. "It was such a good bargain!" she says. "It was in pretty bad shape. First, I sanded it and refinished it. I then took it to get fixed."
