The Beat That My Heart Skipped – A blog dedicated to daily design inspirations. By Rohini Wahi.

Swedish Photographer and graphic design student Hilda Grahnat has a fondness for all things vintage and typographic.

I loved her ‘collection’ series of photographs composed of colour grouped charity shop finds. The lovely thing about vintage pieces are that they always hold a sense of the familiar, and even if you’re not a fan of found objects in your home, you can’t help but feel a tug of emotion.

Totally loving these more design led items from RE-Found.

I have always been a fan of the beautiful vintage furniture and accessories warehouse – The French House. Stocking a huge amount of gorgeous 19th century antiques, on trend 20th century design and beautiful curiosities, the main showroom in Parson’s Green is an inspirational place to visit in itself, so I am delighted to introduce them as our new sponsors!

Literally everything in the showroom is handpicked and carefully curated to the highest standard, from chairs, to sideboards to chandeliers and linens, and new stock is updated regularly. I especially love their unusual lighting range.  The French House also specialise in the restoration of furniture. Click here to be notified about new stock.

Yukka and Stamp are a student couple based in Brighton who in their spare time sell and create wonderful gifts of plants and herbs in old radios, teapots and a variety of wonderful vintage tins! Plants can be ordered directly through James and Charlotte.
