Home Decor 60′s Style

Mad Men has taken the world of Home entertainment by storm.  If you were looking for inspiration for a home makeover, or like me a “Designer Showcase” room for The Cleveland Home and Garden Show, the 60′s could be a “cool” inspiration.

The sixty’s were all about artistic expression. Bold patterns mixed with clean lines.

1964 Vogue cover

This cover is so awesome. I love the Black & White.  Crazy individuality here.

There are many items from the 60′s that are being recreated for today.

If you would like to have a replica phone, here is the phone for you.

Retro phone

This can be purchased for about $50.00 Crosley’s Kettle Classic

My parents still have a RED one. The kid’s, all 20 something, love it. It even has a rotary dial.

Wouldn’t this be a great Executive chair? An Eames chair shows the artistic expression through clean lines.

Here is a great source for new “Retro Sofas”. This is from Room and Board. There were so many “cool” sofas I had a hard time picking just one for this post.

From the fashion to the furniture the sixty’s really has me inspired!  

Until Monday,

Interior Decorating Journey

When you are shopping for a clients decorating project do you ever feel a little like Indiana Jones?

You search and search for just the right treasure. I’m certain the other shoppers around me think I’m a little off. Well they are half right. I am known to scream like a little girl when I find treasure.  So excited, and like a child it is hard for me not to run immediately to my clients homes to show them my treasures.

Perfect Shutter Treasure

The Dining room project, “El Fresco”, is truly a labor of love.

We are using these 100 yr old shutters instead of fabric for our window treatments. These shutters are perfect. remember to always measure, measure, measure. 

Not only are these terrific in color and wear but they fit perfectly.

Color check at the half way point

Here is a sneak peek of the Color washing, half-way through.

We are now looking for the perfect Slate tile for the floor.

Watch as our journey to “Fearless Design” land continues.

Next week we hope to reveal the new floor.

Be fearless,
