Still on our quest for a home! That won't stop me from decorating! I have decided to retract my initial idea of a "vintage mickey" themed kitchen (mayhap that will be the living room theme!)
Instead, I have chosen to go retro! I want a classy retro look with vintage and "new retro" pieces that way we can actually use items as well.
The very popular "red classic diner" look is everywhere and would be very easy to decorate with, but anyone who knows me, knows I need a challenge or well, it is just not any fun for me!
With that in mind, I have opted to go "aqua blue" / white / and some VERY subtle light pink accents (and I mean subtle! ) All appliances shall be white, as there was not allot of color by way of appliances in the 50's
Thinking a checkered floor would be a classy cool
A White Kitchen Aid mixer
White apron sink or farmers sink
old tin lunchboxes
One of those crazy black cat clocks with the moving eyes! sweet!
( a few hidden Mickey's perhaps!)
Anyone familiar with the "50's Primetime Cafe" located at MGM theme park in Walt Disney World will find that I am stealing decorating ideas from them! =)
I would LOVE some feedback, ideas, tips, etc!
Thanks
What this blog stands for:
This blog is my own personal spot to vent about what has become of my great country, America.
While I understand that times have changed and most feel we need to just "accept" how things are and move on, I feel there is no harm in remembering the way things were. To me, the best decade to have lived through was the fifties. I hope this blog will open the eyes of my generation to a different type of living. One that boasts class, dignity, and family values.
Please enjoy your time here.
