My Vintage Vanity: Chenille Bedspread

My bedroom is still a work in progress but I absolutely love (as does my kitty, Coco Pancakes!) the vintage white chenille bedspread I bought last Summer on Etsy from seller, treefarm4. The white velvet pleated pillow is also vintage. Hopefully soon I will have more decorative pillows and a headboard!

I wonder what this girl is gossiping about, don't you? I love this messy room, the dress in the background and especially the chenille bedspreads!

My View: Yarn Bomb!

I'm documenting Yarn Bombs as I discover them. A while back I found a tricycle that was completely covered in knit. Silly me, I wasn't carrying my camera with me that day. Now I always have my camera in my purse. 

This one going around a street post was found on 15th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues in Manhattan.

My VIntage Vanity: Apron Curtains

Needing curtains for my single kitchen window and wanting something cute, I hung two of my vintage aprons! It saved me from buying or making curtains and it's unique. What do you think?

Aren't these vintage Vogue Magazine covers amazing? I love how creative they are. An art form not seen in modern commercial magazines anymore. 

Several of these are available to purchase as prints from enjoyart.com. I might like to get the 1941 swimsuit one to have in my apartment. Which one is your favorite? 

Mid-Week Inspiration: Crochet and Doily Lampshades

I love the delicate look of these lampshades and the shadows they reflect. I would love to incorporate this look in my home.
