I've mentioned in other posts that I love old movies from the 30's....that decade stands out for the charming ....quaint.....reduced scale of furniture and design that showed up....bathrooms  began being a work of art at this time ... the wall paper was sweet with small prints ....lots of cabbage roses........rooms were appointed with bead board...wainscoting.....chair rails and crown molding....the fireplaces were grand in appearance but demure in stature....The windows were dressed in panels and Priscilla curtains...but my favorite 30's look is the furniture....it was at this time that large estate type furnishings were created in a much smaller scale......chairs....tables....upholstered pieces were......... ADORABLE......they were painted in the classic green .....pink...blue and rose that we come to think of as the classic 1930's color's...some of the uniqueness of style actually began in the late 20's....I am consistently ....OVER THE MOON...whenever I see anything from that era.....furniture.......lamps.......pictures.....mirrors....rugs....if you pay attention to the things we all seem to be attracted to when we're ...."HUNTING VINTAGE".....much of it comes from this charming time of our history........I THINK IT IS BRILLIANT.........hope you all have a wonderful day....it's cooled off here ......thunder storms last night lowered the temp's by 15 or more degrees...YEA....I am so glad you stopped by....blessings and hugs to you girls..........Karena
