If you ever find any in the charity shop the "Golden Hands" series was filled with macrame DIY projects. I keep buying vintage bits and bobs and cushion sized bits of home dec fabric for when I get a new house.

Now you're talking! Like you I adore Art Deco style and daydream of having a huge 1920s apartment on Mumbai's Marine Drive but in reality all that rigid style would drive me a bit daft. Eclecticism all the way for me.<br />That dress is fabulous. I've had a couple of 1950s St Michael pieces with nylon side zips and over-locked Vixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-45279668459679981512018-02-10T12:47:08.022+00:002018-02-10T12:47:08.022+00:00As you know I adore Deco but I have too much stuff...As you know I adore Deco but I have too much stuff and my love of Kitsch keeps bursting through too so I could never go all out deco either.<br /><br />I was really disappointed with the first episode of Back in Time for Tea. The family irritated the hell out of me and they galloped so fast through the eras. It does seem like 2 teenage girls and a younger boy is their formula though, they had Miss Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10899889154015378547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-88890062341630543072018-02-09T20:28:40.892+00:002018-02-09T20:28:40.892+00:00The dress looks beautiful on you - such lovely col...The dress looks beautiful on you - such lovely colours; soft and muted. If it feels good on don't worry about where it came from and when just enjoy it!<br /><br />Your new room venture sounds very exciting. Imagine being able to start from scratch! I have never consciously gone for an era as interior decor; I just buy and do what I really like so my home is a mash up of relatively modern Vronni's Style Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122302881528071270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-18003047756695621192018-02-09T03:16:30.322+00:002018-02-09T03:16:30.322+00:00Art Deco always seems so expensive to do & too...Art Deco always seems so expensive to do & too clutter free for my cluttered lifestyle. I always went for the Shabby Chic thing at my homes in California - ranging from faux Victorian to trashed Tuscan villa. (Real antiques are rare in California but manufactured antiques are easy to find.<br />Who cares if that dress is 80's does 50's or 60's?

Every era has good and bad so as long as you steer clear of foil wallpaper and long pile carpeting, you should be OK.

If I had to plan a room from scratch, I'd be so overwhelmed I wouldn't be able to make up my mind which style to choose. My "vintage" is a bit all over the place, as I love a bit of deco but 1960s and everything in between. As far as I'm concerned, there are no rules to this "vintage lark".
