Retro Love

My house is what most call a "mash up" meaning it is a little bit 50s, 60s and 70s. It may be a mash up but it is what I love! My den is brown and blue with splashes of retro color. My kitchen is harvest gold with avocado green and burnt orange and a hint of brown for flair. The bedroom is a rainbow of retro!
When I go on the hunt for items I don't usually have an idea of what I want past a particular color so it makes the hunting all the more fun! Below are some of the treasures that I have gotten in the past. This is only a small sample of items but I can tell you that they were inexpensive...nah, they were downright CHEAP!

Finding Inspiration

When you start to work on your projects research is the key! Look at what others have done for inspiration. Magazines, books, blogs and Pintrest are great ways to get ideas. If you haven't gone to Pintrest do so. It is an online bulletin board of awesomeness!  It is one of my big go to places when I need ideas.
Below is a screen shot of some of my boards. You can get to Pinterest by going to www.pinterest.com. It will soon become your obsession!
