Hollywood Regency Time Capsule House

Wow! We were looking at estate sales across the country and we came across this one.  This is the definition of Hollywood Regency!  We like to throw in some Regency touches here and there, but this is over the top.  It's a perfect snapshot of a moment in time.  Enjoy!

Syroco + Giralt Lerin Paintings

Ely found a couple wall art gems this weekend, one of which will hang above my bed.

This Syroco piece is quite large, and will be perfect in my room because I already have some Syroco (the diamonds), as well as the gold star pillows on my bed. I'll take photos of it hanging up later!

The other piece is a Giralt Lerin print in an amazing mid century frame. The original painting was done in 1964.

PLEATS PLEASE

We love vintage Pinch Pleat curtains, and there seem to be lots of them popping up at thrift stores. In Seattle, at least. Yesterday we came across some that still were folded up and brand new with their directions still attached. I have needed curtains in my bedroom since I moved into my apartment a few months ago, so I got those.

Hanging them was the difficult part, because the little vintage hooks that came attached fit very tightly around the curtain rod- They are SUPPOSED to be hung with clip rings. This I did not realize until just recently.

For now, I hung them and they look nice (and block out the bright light in the morning). They may need to be hemmed though, they touch the floor a little too much, and they will moreso after I get the clip rings.

 

TTFN!
