Living Retro

I love my lovely modern loft but I do daydream about having a gorgeous vintage house all decked out in retro-finary. Lately I've been drooling over some pretty inspirational pictures from lots of great sites so I thought I would share them with you one by one.




Retro Renovation
I cannot wait to check this site every day. I love watching the transformation as people find tarnished vintage fixtures and furniture and then bring them back to life. They also have an amazingly inspirational photo gallery. I haven't explored the entire site yet because there is SO much to check out. The Forums look like the place to be though! I also have to admit that I would just love to sit down and have a chat with Pam, I think we'd get along famously! How could you not love the lady behind Save The Pink Bathrooms?

I've got lots more favorites to share both here and at Love, Dolly. So keep checking back.  Now enjoy some pictures from Retro Renovation and be sure to head over there and check out the site.

Sewing Back in Time

You may remember that I'd been toying with the ideas of truly learning to sew my own clothes. Well about a month ago I started taking classes at a local college and I love it!

Last week as I was heading into class I noticed that they'd changed the display walls and thought you might like to see the gorgeous vintage dresses and patterns they had on display.

Needless to say, it took every ounce of willpower I had not to rip those dresses off of the wall and run away with them! ;-)
