Hee hee!<br /><br />I wish I could decorate for the seasons, but we don't have enough room to store things.

I have already purchased flooring in armstrong tiles that they have been making in the same colors since well.... I am guessing at least the 40's I think it will have a good look I am thinking of painting the walls a light pink a bit girly but I live with my husband and 3 sons I need a bit of girly space to myself!!!Living Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707910115390904845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100700459231643584.post-52012832178315709532011-06-28T05:24:58.696+01:002011-06-28T05:24:58.696+01:00Your not alone, Fiona!

I recently did some atomic paintings, bought some rugs, got a new starburst mirror and decorated a modern lamp to make it look vintage. I have been thinking about making new curtains for my bedroom and along with replacing the 80s-era chandelier in my living room with an atomic-looking one. The pics you have in this post are inspiring me even more!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100700459231643584.post-69590520083341513202011-06-28T00:37:29.996+01:002011-06-28T00:37:29.996+01:00Nope!
