June Inspiration: Tomboy Chic

Introducing a new post… Each month, we share trends we are swooning over that offer unexpected inspiration. Some of these styles may even spark a bit of inspiration for future Pyar&Co. collections!

TOMBOY CHIC: Pyar&Co. founder Paula Queen has always been a tomboy; but, she admits her love for feminine details has grown over time. While mixing vintage and modern or color and neutral is de rigeur, combining masculine and feminine touches are second nature to her. You could say she searches for balance in all things, particularly her décor. Check out some of her favorite pieces from a few shops she loves. What makes them really stand out is their contrasting materials, colors, and textures. You will find that these pieces have no boundaries-- no matter the space!

ONE Pair of Yellow Ball Lamps (Buckingham Interiors) TWO Acrylic & Hide Ottoman (Shop Ten 25) THREE Navy Lacquer Desk (Shop Ten 25) FOUR Antique Iron Crown (Buckingham Interiors) FIVE Oval Metal Rope Tray (Shop Ten 25) SIX Amaltas in Navy (Shop Ten 25) SEVEN Pink Swivel Chair (Buckingham Interiors) EIGHT Pair of Vintage Pressure Gauge Bookends (Quotient)
