Vintage Fun

During January I had a wonderful visit with a long time friend at her beautifully decorated home. I admired her sense of style and grace and her many pieces of furniture and art. I dont know about you, but some people have the nack and others dont. I believe I'm in the dont categorie. My decorating style is rather ad hoc, although I work on some basic principles

• the item means something to me - a family item, a memory from a holiday, something we made or renovated, or something someone gave me
• preferrably it's recycled, or organic and natural
• if not, it should be fair trade and ethical
• I prefer natural colours, although somethings shots of bright colours get an appearance.

My friend started her decorating with the assistance of a designed, and now she shops on line, searching out wonderful vintage items. So I started searching for myself... here's some photo's and websites I have admired..
