interior design
the relative lack of blogging or any other creative activity lately is because most of my spare-time energies have been going into sorting out my flat. my delicious links tell the story [of inspiration more than purchase, i should say!]. hopefully the wall panels will go up this weekend. then it will be finished enough to take some photographs.
in the meantime take a look at this marvellous 60s home. the stuff's mostly mass-market kitsch, but put together so well it's a design triumph. in this country one would call the national trust and ask them to preserve it for ever. the house is in los angeles, but almost every aspect of the interior is familiar to me from my childhood in england - clearly this idiom was universal. it brings back nagging non-specific memories - that wood wallpaper behind the dining table - who in my childhood had just that, and similar dining chairs too? my mum would know.
we had that wallpaper too - and a sofa just like that - also many of those boingy things with baubles on seemed to inhabit our house - my baby sister broke one off and it got stuck up her nose !! i love the picture in the lounge - sure my mum still has some of her glassware from that period AND some dining chairs like that ! - can't wait to see pics of your new place...........

I loved the 1960's home! Many of the items are becoming popular again and people can now find the reproductions all over the place.
