What is it about the whole “retro” style that’s so appealing today? Some say that it’s a comforting feeling of days gone by, when times were simpler and seemed to move at a slower pace than they do today. Others claim that it’s a generational lashing-out against the mass marketing of today. Still others just think that it looks cool. Whatever your particular view is, you’ll be pleased to know that the retro-style is alive and well, as everything that’s old is new again, due in part to the shopping ease of the World Wide Web. The classic designs and styles of the 1930’s through the 1980’s are brought to life all over again with this decorating trend, adding nicely to already popular home décor styles of country, early American, contemporary, classic, antique, art deco, as well as the many combinations among them. Retro furniture and accessories can complement any just about any style that you currently have, or add a splash of excitement to a somewhat dull and dreary room. For example, say that your home décor is primarily country with a few antiques added in for good measure. What if in the middle of the country quilts and braided rugs, a black and chrome, pay-phone-style, vintage-looking telephone is hung on the wall in your kitchen? You’re sure to hear “I haven’t see one of these in years”, by at least one your houseguests, and of course, the words will always be accompanied by a smile. Not only will it be quite the conversation piece, it will add a bit of nostalgia, fun and atmosphere to any style of home. If you could only pick one room to add some trendy, retro-flair, which would you choose? Kitchens across the country are bringing in some extra charm with the 1950’s diner-styled dinette sets. Both booth and chair styles, plus a wide variety of bar and counter-height stools can make even the most boring center of a home pop with excitement! Retro bathroom fixtures make any lavatory a place you’d love to hang your hat. Likewise, vintage bedroom sets can set the stage for quite a tale with grand bedposts and stunning details and workmanship on the bureaus, nightstands and headboard. Add an authentic, antique lamp, or a reproduction of one--you’ll be amazed at what you can find online! Every little detail is important when you’re creating a retro style room, home, or just want to add a bit of fun and nostalgia to your abode. Don’t forget about clocks, knick-knacks and wall mirrors to reflect the days of yesteryear. Vintage style jukeboxes, record players and radios, with or without the added luxury of a CD player, will always have a story to tell, to those who want to listen.

I Discovered Leather Furniture
I have been decorating homes and helping other people decorate their homes for as long as I can remember.

I discovered, however, just how great using leather furniture can be in a home after I helped a client place leather furniture in their cabin. I'm not sure why I was so against using leather...Read more
