Decorating has always been a pet project of mine. Every few years I decide that I'm going to change my aesthetic (everything must go!), and then I eagerly seek new inspiration. Today's Vintage Finds are inspired by the iconic decades that preceded us. Whether you're starting anew or just looking to spice up your space, these finds should give you a much-needed style boost.
The Kitschy Cool 1950s
The Atomic Age was one of innovation and suburban bliss. Decorating was both modern and utilitarian, with an emphasis on simple shapes and candy sweet colors like pink and mint green.
