Tchochkes

If I had to choose a single store to decorate my entire home it would be Hederim. Their style is casual, warm, and cozy - the Israeli version of modern country home. I’ve reviewed them before, but I didn’t have any pictures. This time I brought my camera (so much more helpful).

I took an obscene number of pictures because I just couldn’t help myself. Hederim doesn’t have a site, you have to go to south Tel Aviv to be able to shop there. Also, they used to be open on Saturday, but when we went there was a sign announcing that this would be stopping soon.

The brown sofa would be dull without the rose embroidered cushions. The rough hewn table is aged design (in other words, it’s new - it just looks old). Some design blogs are predicting the death of this style of design - and maybe it will happen eventually, but I don’t think it will be any time soon. People who like country home tend to keep their furniture constant and change up the design by changing the accessories.

I love this table. The chair edges might be overkill of the fake-age thing. Ok, actually I think it is overkill. I think if I were to order this set now I would get the blue color, which is fabulous, but not have them rough-edge the corners. In other words, the painting would be consistent and not sanded on the edges. Now, I wouldn’t get freaked out if the edges were bashed while in use. I just wouldn’t go and have it done on purpose when I bought it.

The ceilings in this store are a reason to go there in itself. If you are lucky enough to have high ceilings - this is a fantastic idea for your home.

How stunning is that? Seriously.

I love this room. The sanded edges are better for this set in my opinion than in the dining room chairs. Even still, I have to wonder how this would look without the rough edges. My guess is it would look too dollhouse-y. This room appeals to me for its soft edges and sleepy atmosphere. This is a room where I could imagine myself sleeping in. This is a well-dressed bedroom.

The story-line in the store design is so consistent and clear. Everything here is set up perfectly. Love it.

Look at the tiles!!!! You can’t get those anymore, and if you could - who has the nerve to place such a strong design into their home on a large scale?

 Another great bedroom. If you can’t afford Hederim, this style would be easy to get copied by a carpenter in Florentine.

I love this bed. I wouldn’t get the edges sanded - but I would keep the gray-ish blue color. I’m thinking I may have to get this…
