The Real Society Socials No. 4 {Brooke and Dustin Tell Their Story}
Brooke was one of Society Social's very first customers. Just 4 days after our launch in 2011, she ordered the Marilyn sofa then followed with colorful pillows and for good measure, a bar cart! We've kept in touch here and there, to finally meet her and her precious family (she now has a 1 year old baby girl!) is one of the very reasons I love what I do!
Certainly it's fun to decorate with the latest decor favorites (The ginger jar bandwagon dropped off like 15 at my house!), but at Society Social we also believe what truly makes a home special are the unique items collected along the way. Brooke and Dustin are a picture perfect example of that and shoot day was pleasantly filled with interesting and funny anecdotes prompted by seemingly random items that tell a story about this sweet family and their journey to make a house a home.
Take a peek!
B: "We definitely have a lot of collected pieces and we are constantly adding new things. I think the interesting thing about our collection is that we incorporate unique pieces that truly mean something to us with all the other things that are basically a dime a dozen."





I think we have to credit Dustin with the wood in the fireplace because he cut it all. When we moved into our house, we had two beautiful oak trees in the front yard. Unfortunately they were both rotten and had to come down. The wood in the fireplace is from one of the trees."




Many people ask me how to style a bar cart. Don't put too much pressure on yourself to buy up every type of liquor and fancy bitter or accoutrement, stock it with your favorite spirits and the piece becomes a hundred times more functional ;) Brooke and Dustin, who love whiskey, obviously have their bar cart "styling" down...

...and their little baby girl Elliot is not left out of this focused curation. The bowl of citrus was such an amusement for her and as we focused on other shots, she "styled" the accidental arrangement herself-- we made sure to leave it just so!
