Are wallpaper borders out of style?
Comments (46)Ottertail, Do you love the border and is it something that will add to your enjoyment? I think you home is your castle and it should be decorated for you and your family's enjoyment. Here's my own "It's Out of Style" faux pas: My DH and I recently built and moved into a new home. I used brass for my door hardware (balwin brass), my kitchen hardware and my lamps (vintage stiffel)/lighting (waterford). I love the warmth of brass (not the yellow, shinny, fake stuff) and I love how it fits in with my tradtional decor. Now, I'm sure there are some who would walk in my home and say to themselves (and a few even out loud), "Why did she put out of style brass in her new house?" While others would say, "I love that you went with the brass" and would admire me for going with what I like. My friends like me for who I am and appreciate the fact I beat to my own drum. Bottom line, brass is what was right for me and my family. Add the border! Get on the bandwagon! Start decorating to your own beat! P.S. I used chrome fixtures in my bathrooms:-0 They look perfect with my silver vanity pieces, but that's another story for another post....See MoreIs decorating with words and quotations going out of style soon?
Comments (71)Auntjen, I have a Victorian (I think?) set of prints and one of them says "Bless this home" even though I don't like the idea of God singling anyone or anything out to bless. I love that type of needlework sampler you posted! Not an instructional sign, but I have this up in my kitchen from my funny great Aunt Alice. My 6 y.o. must have just noticed it the other day because she read it, and then asked, "Mom, are you a half-fast cook?" I told her I was!...See MoreAre these “1930s” style prints?
Comments (9)Hello everybody!! Valerie; you did not steer me wrong! I appreciate all the info everyone has shared. This is all fun! Your Swoon Quilt is on my list! Jennifer, thank you for the very kind offer, but I am trying to downsize my sewing room. I’m sure I have enough proper fabrics, without using the dots, for the three blocks. I’ll repeat some of them if necessary. I drove 40 miles, one way, to Hobby Lobby yesterday. They had one 1930’s fabric. :( They did have a bolt of Kona Black, (!) and I bought 1/3 yd. of Kona “Cardinal” for February’s block. That was the only “red” they had. They did have a “burgundy,” but it was too brown to be a true red. I also picked up bright solids in yellow, orange, and green to fill out my colors for our May blocks so, all in all, it was not a wasted trip. I also dropped off 40 items at a thrift store; and gave a friend 22 hard cover books that I no longer wanted - but she did! (Janet Evanovich’s “Plum” series. Thet started out great and evolved into tedious.) and then ate at a Chinese buffet. Today, I hope to fire up the cute little Bernina and sew!...See MoreWhat to do with out of style St John knits
Comments (42)The thrifts and charities are taking the name brand items and listing them for almost new prices in some cases. That's not really a concern for me though. My main goal is getting items reused rather than thrown in the landfill. Personally I don't have the patience to sell my stuff, the small amount of money I'd get from it is not worth it. I'd rather just give it away to anyone who will happily take it. As far as charities go, it completely depends on what your priorities are. I don't donate to Salvation Army because I don't like their politics, and Value Village is for-profit (but I might give stuff to these places if Goodwill rejects it, which happens when they're too full). Goodwill had some bad press lately, but they are not all the same. They operate independently and have their own territories. The Seattle ones are really good-- I just bought an Eileen Fisher cashmere sweater there last week. I also love our local goodwills because they send unsalvageable items to the proper recyclers (textile recycling, computer equipment, etc). They partnered up with the city to keep that stuff out of the landfill....See More- 13 years ago
