    Door Help!

    Vintage doorknobs are so hard to find here and cost a small fortune - I was thinking that changing the doorknobs could be done over time - I saw some reasonably priced ones online that were just chrome - I quite liked them - but do love the glass ones *sigh*.....

    Door Help!

    That's very interesting Flicka - that Deco seems to have just been skipped past in your neck of the woods! We looked at buying a true Deco house from the 30's with all original features (it was in a dreadful state - filthy and run down - the worst thing was that an old person had been living...

    Door Help!

    Those are the doors in your house Rue? They are beyond fabulous! What a joy to walk up your path and see that door in front of you. It looks like we are going to have to get a bespoke hall door as they don't have what we want on the shop floor - we want a kind of 30's door with a square glass...

    Door Help!

    Thanks Rue - that's extremely helpful! Regardless of whether it has a deco vibe or not I really like the style - typical that I would have to pick the most expensive door in the shop though!

    Door Help!

    Mike & Flicka - thank you both for your thoughts - much appreciated! Yes, I still lean more towards the plain Shaker door as I agree that the plainer something is the less dated it will become - that pretty much my thoughts on interiors and style in general. I never saw Jeeves & Wooster but...

    Door Help!

    Hello everyone! From my previous posts you may know that we are in the process of refurbishing a house from the late 1940's - it's a huge job and we have some big decisions to make in the next week or so. We love Art Deco - and we're lucky that the original tiled fireplaces are in good...

    Thanks Heather - they look to be in good condition - maybe needing a little amount of TLC - and we got them for a song so we were very lucky!

    Ladies with cigarettes

    I turned the page on my Marilyn calendar this morning and noticed something was missing: I believe the company that now represents Marilyn will erase cigarettes from any pictures printed of her from now on. Ridiculous.....

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    The guy was such an idiot - you can just tell this is the kind of thing he ends up doing every time he gets plastered - nothing worse than a bad drunk! I'm sure he is more than paying for his bad behaviour today - if I could have shovelled some bad prawns into him believe me I would have...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Last night I was in town meeting a friend for a couple of drinks - we got ourselves a nice seat in one of Dublin's oldest pubs and were having a great catch up - it was my turn to go to the bar when this guy stopped me and said "I have a quick question for you - I love your dress - can I ask...

    your powder room....

    I had no idea what to use to store my make-up and I saw them on an Irish beauty website (beaut.ie) and I thought the stackable boxes were genius! I don't know anything really about the Kardashian's but judging by the amount of slap they wear the clear cubes must be the size of a bus shelter.

    Most Depressing movies you've seen?

    Yes - that scene was horrific - imagine being faced with having to make that kind of a decision? I shudder even thinking about it.... Threads - was really depressing as was When the Wind Blows - both dealing with the aftermath of nuclear war.
