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*.....
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...
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...
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!
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...
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...
Fabulous finds Ladies!
I've just bought this three piece walnut Art Deco set for our guest bedroom - a large wardrobe, a small wardrobe and dressing table with mirror:
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.....
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...
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...
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.
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.
