    1930s Vanity and China Cabinet for an Elegant Boudoir

    I just became amazingly lucky. My parents have just downsized out of their condo into a smaller home, and had no room to bring along with them the 1930s art deco vanity and cabinet that have been in the family for many years. The china cabinet was found in the *garbage* of all places, which I...

    Hair Color Advice?

    My natural color is dark blond. I've had red hair for the last 8-9 years, and being completely over it I finally dyed it pink with black ombre on the bottom half last winter. It's very pretty, but I'm feeling off, not me. I'm so conflicted about this because my current shade, which I always mix...

    1920s Paint Colors?

    On Wednesday we move into our first house, built in 1921. I'm thinking of painting a mid-tone blue-grey, but I'm very curious to know what sorts of colors would have been popular in that era. I'd like to keep a consistency with the house and really play off the 1920s look in a timeless...

    1920s Hair Nets

    I just received a comment on a blog post I wrote about clip-in bangs, and I don't have an answer. Maybe you ladies can help me out? "I found your blog looking for clarification on something in a 1920 photo of a drugstore, and a display of hairnets. In the upper right, hairnets 2 for a quarter...

    Vintage and Rollercoasters?

    This weekend we'll be taking our yearly trip to the Red River Ex, Canada's huge traveling fair. As usual, I have no clue what to wear. People there tend to be the very WORST examples of modern fashion, with all the girls butts hanging out of their torn up 80s inspired trendy clothes and all the...

    Vintage and Childfree

    I was pleasantly surprised to learn a while ago while perusing the threads and even watching Time Warp Wives how common it is for people in the vintage lifestyle to be childfree. I guess I assumed that the group was of lovers of tradition and so having kids would go hand in hand with that. But...

    Changing a Look

    I'm sorry if there are any similar threads to this one, if so feel free to merge. I started thinking about this as I posted the thread about the beautiful sky blue swing dress. I love it, but my husband really doesn't. He said if I wear it he fully expects me to bake him a pie lol And while...

    What's Wrong With My Perfume Bottle?

    The other night I went to my dad's house for supper, and he told me he had been meaning to give me some things that belonged to my grandmother in the 50s. He gave me a silver serving set from 1957 and one of those awesome vintage perfume bottles with the pump coming out the side. Amazing since I...

    Confronting a Friend About Clothes

    I have a friend who loves my clothes. I have no problem lending things out, and she wants to borrow them all the time. But it's getting to be TOO much. I don't think she goes to any social events without wearing my clothes. It's even become assumed that she would take a new outfit from me every...

    Help Me Find These Shoes?

    I've wanted these shoes for quite a while, and now after reading in Amazon reviews that they're surprisingly comfortable, I'm even more ready to buy. Unfortunately while I can afford the shoes no problem, I really don't feel like doubling it just for the international shipping. I tried amazon.ca...

    Do you dress down to compensate?

    For vintage looks there are of course house dresses vs day dresses and nicer Sunday type dresses. But these days everyone just dresses SO casual there are people in sweats etc all over the place. So I find that even in the MOST casual vintage-inspired outfit I still get comments like "Are you...

    What Have You Acquired From Family?

    My grandma has always been a very generous person. Recently her aunt died, and before giving a pile of both their stuff to the church rummage sale she gave a bunch to me and my husband. Among it all was a red and white polka dot apron, a bunch of silk scarves, and an elaborate looking bronze...
