This October we will have been married 27 years and in that time we have accumulated quite a lot of things...we have moved quite a few times too each time upsizing and once downsizing to where we are now....and for me it is hard to part with the things that I love even though it is necessary when you have hardly any room to store them.
These are new pictures of some of my latest and oldest finds...I have done some re-arranging in my Cold House and I thought I would share the new pictures with you...
When collecting old vintage pieces...just go with what you love, there is always something that draws you to a piece, it might be something that you remember from your past, a certain colour that attracts you....or something that is very tactile...all in all, if you love it and it is within your budget...just go for it!
Sometimes I think to myself...Why!!!! did I buy that! and then I get home and it fits in perfectly with my other things...and I realise why! you have to go with your sixth sense...you know that feeling...its an excitable feeling and you just have to have it!
So in other words, be brave my lovely friends, decorate your home with the things you love, although vintage is better, shops like Cath Kidston, who sells modern vintage and Happy Loves Rosie, my own shop that will be stocked soon with more vintage goodness! can really help you with that bright and happy style that we have created in our home...
Have fun with your decorating and if you want to share any pictures of your style,
come and visit me on my FACEBOOK PAGE.

ReplyDeleteLove your style so much! Even though it is not the same as ours in our home right now, I appreciate and love it so so much and I adore looking at your cheerful photos, maybe you should sell them as prints?
