Our Top Decor Picks From Blake Lively’s Online Shop
Whether it’s the changing leaves or a chill in the air, the first weeks of fall put cozy textures, warm wood and rustic finds top of mind.
Fronted by actress Blake Lively, online shop Preserve features just the kind of humble, hand-crafted housewares we’re dreaming of right now, rendered in a range of vintage metals, soft fabrics and reclaimed woods. And since the shop’s offerings — which also include clothing, accessories and children’s items — are chiefly produced by American artisans, your handsome buy is also likely to be one-of-a-kind (not to mention in direct support of an artist or maker).
Here are some of our favorite home decor pieces from this sweet store, perfect for a seasonal hostess gift, warming up your home’s interior or carting up to the cabin.
Husband and wife team Walter and Margaux Kent of Philadelphia-based company Peg & Awl handcraft all their rustic-chic wares in their home studio. Their charming egg caddies are made of reclaimed cypress wood and hold up to a dozen eggs.
These solid walnut saltboxes from Portland’s Revolution Design House are as practical as they are beautiful. Place on a tabletop or next to the stove to keep anything from dried herbs to specialty salts close at hand.
Ceramic artist Brooke Winfrey throws all her pieces by hand in her Brooklyn workshop, meaning each piece — like this charming Everyday Bowl — boasts an organic, imperfect beauty.
Winfrey’s Short Cups — a modern take on the teacup — riff on the simple, laid-back style of the Everyday Bowl.
The Angle Vase (also hand-crafted by Winfrey) makes an ideal base for a loose, casual floral arrangement, and a striking focal point all on its own.
Looking for an elegant and heartwarming wedding gift? Artisans Sarah and Ryan Parker hand-engrave these perfect pairs of vintage, silver-plated teaspoons in their Richmond, Virginia workspace.
New Orleans-based painter Ashley Longshore’s cotton-linen throw pillows are exclusive to Preserve, and come in an array of vibrant prints inspired by the four seasons.
This handsome waxed-canvas and cowhide pouch contains all the bartender-quality tools you need to craft the perfect cocktail: a jigger, a muddler, a bottle opener, a strainer and a mixing spoon.
You’ll be looking for any excuse to mail out one of Blackbird Letterpress’s quirky cards. Made from recycled paper, each one is — you guessed it — made entirely by hand in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
