Tee'd Off

The first round of kids clothes has arrived at Kanibal Home! In addition to the below (seriously, how cute?) I also got in two adorable blankets. Combined with the vintage-inspired bibs we have in stock, these items make a perfect little gift.




The above tees come in 2T, 3T and 4T sizes. Onesies and additional tee sizes will be arriving any day now as well!

Early Closing

Just a note that Kanibal Home will be closing early today (Saturday, July 11) at 5:00pm. The store will resume normal operating hours tomorrow morning.

Thanks and have a lovely weekend!

Take a Seat

Woohoo, new chairs in the shop! Kanibal Home started out as an online shop where I reupholstered vintage chairs with new, funky fabric and every time a new chair comes into the shop it makes me incredibly happy.

I've used this green houndstooth fabric in the past on a bench seat, but it looks really remarkable on this vintage cane chair. Wouldn't this make an incredible side chair in a bedroom or punchy office chair?

The above white chair is for a vanity I've been working on. The chair is done, but the vanity needs a bit more work. Once it's done, though ... watch out. It's not going to last long.

The Outdoors Come Inside

It's Log, Log, it's big, it's heavy, it's wood. It's Log, Log, it's better than bad, it's wood!

Kobo Candles

For those looking for the Kobo Candles in Green Pearl Jasmine and White Birch Rosemary ... they're in!

Sweet Sunny Summer

Although I've been doing a ton of buying for fall (think lots of bright colored jackets, slouchy bags and soft knits), it's still obviously summer. Actually, I don't feel like we've been able to fully enjoy summer yet due to all the rainy weather we got hit with a few weeks ago.

So, I'm not giving up on the summer dress quite yet. We just got a couple new styles in the shop and we're getting even more mid-July. I don't know about you, but I'm ready for some balmy nights and midday BBQs.

Cruise Control

One of Kanibal Home's first window displays featured a vintage kid's Schwinn bike. As soon as the bike came out of the window and was for sale the sweetest woman popped in and bought it for her young daughter.

So I thought I would bring in another classic. The below Schwinn Suburban is in excellent condition and has the vintage wire baskets already mounted on the back. This is definitely not the bike for someone who lives on a fourth floor walk-up, but it sure will turn heads.
