i’m sure most of us are quite enamored with trolling through flea markets, scouting out vintage stores, and finding those little treasures that are unique and make a house feel more like home. but i think you’ll be hard-pressed to find a person more dedicated to the style of days-gone-by than liane of enhabiten.

liane lives & breathes her sense of style and relationship with the past. her etsy shop, previously featured here, is a mix of repurposed vintage textiles, eco-friendly home decor, and goodies that have that warm, lived in feel that good thrifted pieces have.

but just how far will lianne go to live out the antique aesthetic? one word: tattoo. for the last couple of weeks, liane has been posting images she’s using as inspiration for a tattoo.

using patterns from early american wall stencils, vintage textiles, and ceramic designs, lianne put together a completely unique tattoo. such a great way to take something old and give it new life. i’m sure many people will ask about the origin of her tattoo – giving her an opportunity to give them a tidbit of information on her passion for vintage design.

here’s the result! love it, liane!

random fact i learned from lianne’s blog: “Real linoleum flooring is made with 100% natural ingredients including linseed oil, cork, limestone, tree rosin and natural minerals and it is installed with solvent free adhesives.” awesome!
