Retro Ceramic

I do have to admit: I am collector of retro ceramic pieces. Especially orange and turquoise color. I love them. The collecting habit of mine started with this first one. Then I found a couple more, but I knew, I need six to decorate the bookshelves. When I already found 5 the last one was the hardest. One local antique shop sold them for a fortune, but I insisted and waited until I found the last one at the flea market.

Here are our bookselves:

My Son's New Room

This is my son's newly decorated room. The aviation deco I found at a local flea market and he loves it. Lately he had a room with those baby printed frieze, but as he is going to school in September I promised him to make a school boy room. Last Monday we bought some paint and painted the whole room even the ceiling (that was not easy at all!)
It has one thing missing. I thought it would be a good idea to have his initial on the shelf. I've found a couple of M's on ebay.com, but they were a bit too expensive. Than I started search Etsy Vintage, but I had no lusk either. At the end I found some good stuff at Etsy.
Koriclarkdesigns is a cute shop for graphis designs and letters. I found a great surfing kind. Than I figured it would be great to follow the aviation feeling of his room. So I ended up with a custom order for his huge M.
I can not wait to have it on the self!

Oh, no!

That is what my husband said, when I bought these.

believe it or not, they cost me $15 for the two. I hardly can wait to sit and read to my kids in these armchairs.
He will go and pick them up! (But I think he would be happier if I was collenting match boxes and not armchairs :-))

Nelson on the Kitchen Wall

My kitchen is orange and grey and I love retro vintage items. I am sure you know it by now what I needed for the wall. An Orange Atomic Nelson Clock! Here is it. I just purchased on EBay!
I add more pictures, when it is on my wall!
