The Devil (not in Prada but maybe Michael Kors) & her Long Island Holiday Home

American Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is rumoured to be quite the property queen. She's said to have a townhouse in Manhattan's historic Greenwich Village, houses in Connecticut as well as a house in Long Island (shown below). Here are sneak pics of Wintour's house exclusively shot by World of Interiors magazine.  











The Vintage Parlour has just the right furniture for you to  have a country chic abode like Anna Wintour's. So look out for my upcoming posts!

Not Your Ordinary Bench


During the reign of Louis XVI from 1774 to 1792, chairs were created just for ornamental reasons. Which bring us to the topic of a 3 or more seater long chair known as the bench. Now don't just look at a bench as an outdoor furniture or as a 3-seater that can occupy more than 3 people. The bench can be used...

As a substitute for dining chairs. (Well, imagine the sofa as a bench. Talk about quaint and quirky!)


At the bed front for an unexpected yet eclectic vibe.











Or on its own for seating or just as a prop. How cute right?





Love to have a bench in your home? The Vintage Parlour offers you two french style designs at an unbeatable price.


Regular French 3-Seat Bench W152xD45xH54 cm (SGD$550)
