Unique Book!

This book is so inspiring if you love vintage decor...it shows you interesting and beautiful ways to display your older treasures!

Flea market zing

Even if you're not wealthy, you can still pick up used treasures, such as the ones shown in this book, and put them together to create a unique and pretty home. For example: An ancient, chipped flower box is set on an elegant dining table. Pink roses spill out of the flower box to create a really stunning visual statement. Vintage fabrics, many of them lovely with antique lace, can be put together with other fabrics to bring a sense of history to any room. There are tips on how to flea and how using treasures from your childhood can make your home special.

Vintage Done Well!

Refreshing look at vintage style done well! Excellent step-by-step guide on how to obtain this look in your own home. The photos are gorgeous as one would expect from Romantic Homes and even the copy is beautifully written. There are many home decor books out there today from which to choose that range from cutesie to pathetically self-important. How nice to find a treasure like this one that really provides solid information and creative ideas that marry nostalgia with good taste and can even do so while being mindful of the average home owner's budget. Vintage Vavoom is destined to become one of my all-time favorites!

Vintage Vavoom for the New Year

I received my copy of this book yesterday. Beautiful pictures, helpful tips, a "how-to" on designing your own Dream Diary for your personal decorating style and ideas. Each chapter ends with a Dream Diary Workshop and there are lists of items to inspire collections. This book is such a treasure trove of ideas. Love it...
