decades a go go skip to main skip to sidebar friday may 25 2012 graduation present kitschtastic this incredible lamp was a graduation gift by my amazing friend wendy costa its huge and fantastic in person and has a wonderfully kitschy fairy princess ballerina girl with horns look close the shades are stunning and i can easily say this is my best lamp ever i still can t really believe its mine actually the only thing better than one of these lamps is two of them posted by decades a go go at 2 06 pm 2 comments home sweet home just pulled into home i m not officially moved yet this is just the first of many moving trips but its still very exciting can t wait to make it mine posted by decades a go go at 7 34 am 5 comments monday may 21 2012 and they said i d never pick up chicks when i came out to my mother years ago among the drama and craziness was her worries over the fact that she wouldn t get grandkids while i m still not so much a kid person at least having my own sorry mom at least now she ll have grandchickens i just picked up these little cuties yesterday they re all a week old except for the little guy who s only a couple days they re silkies which are a really odd and utterly fabulous breed of chickens they re not the best egg layers but who needs to lay eggs when you look like that they ll pay for their keep by just struttin their stuff a few other bigger girls well they will be bigger are coming in the mail next week they ll pick up the egg layin slack for the little silkies which will be half their size anyways enough talk here are the girls what they will look like although this is a white where mine will have more touches of grey blue and on a side note that s actually quite big i just graduated today woohoooo i never thought i d spend my last day of education rubbing vasolene on a chicken butt trying to get it to poo posted by decades a go go at 5 51 pm 8 comments saturday may 19 2012 kitchen before here s some pictures of the kitchen from winter break the before i ve done nothing to the space in these photos the vintage 1940 s linoleum floor was unfortunately too far gone to be saved and actually while currently the kitchen this is actually going to become the office and the kitchen will be moved to a bigger more light filled room in the house this room is adorable but so small for a kitchen only 9 ft wide the other room has south facing windows for morning sun and is much bigger and at the heart of the house not a tucked away little corner like it is now the sink is nice but will be replaced with a 1930 s mint green farmhouse sink the stove i have to think about its pink which i love but i have to see if it goes with the kitchen colors in the end i have another 1950 s stove competing for the spot that is white but super cartoony with great sentimental value what are your thoughts on the wallpaper i m not going to be keeping all of it but i was thinking of keeping one wall maybe as a kitschy accent i believe its from the 1940 s after some initial ceiling scraping don t worry i wore a mask and sprayed everything to keep the dust down lead paint and hidden behind the linoleum behind the linoleum behind the mastic is this early 20th c wood floor and behind this is the original wide plank flooring p s sorry for the bad pics it was night and my camera was acting up posted by decades a go go at 9 37 am 5 comments sunday may 13 2012 treat for myself vintage door hardware now that i m graduating from the university of md next week woo i must admit i ve been taking full advantage of the whole i just finished 4 years of college i deserve a little somethin somethin thing i think i know deep down this will only last another week or so before the guilt sets in after all i have many more things that truly need the money but in true nick style i ve justified spending a little more than i normally would to get something i don t really need but really want and here they are i don t really have a good picture of the front door but its actually very nice although hidden behind an awful modern screen door that has ta go you can sort of see it in the pic below the hardware was replaced with really cheap home depot brass stuff that totally kills the look of the door since its gonna be something i use every day i decided to splurge and get more appropriate house jewelry i am a detail freak so i also will be getting vintage hinges to replace the modern ones and the wonderful woman who sold me the set is provided vintage screws that match the patina of each side note that you should use a historically correct slotted screw not a modern phillips head screw on an antique doorplate and always hand screw after pre drilling speaking of patina that s one of the things that makes this set so special because one side has been exposed to the elements for 100 years they ve aged very differently and i love it i also love that the interior will be a glass knob with very different almost black exterior hardware this isn t the best picture of the knobs but interestingly the lavender knob appears darker here became that way due to sun exposure it started clear that dates it between 1890 1914 the other knob was manufactured by sargent co around 1905 it s the pattern bullis from their greek school of architecture patterns the door plates pattern quincy were manufactured around 1905 by the reading hardware co p s credit goes to vicky at historic home hardware for assembling this phenomenal set and knowing the history everything is complete and freshly cleaned and oiled and works great with a skeleton key also just to note this isn t technically era correct to my house which is an 1865 greek revival but my motto is if the original is long gone then i ll go with something old that i like i ll keep you guys posted as the door project goes on its not quite as simple as it seems since i have to fill in the larger whole left from the home depot hardware get proper hinges and make repairs to the door such as somehow removing a huge sheet of plywood that was bizarrely glued onto the back of the door to better insulate it i presume so like everything in my life its not simple but thats what makes it fun i think posted by decades a go go at 9 58 am 6 comments friday may 4 2012 incredible vintage iron chairs i didn t think i could top myself with the recent sink but these iron chairs are incredible i feel like i m on a roll now that school is ending now i haven t actually bought them yet but i ve talked the seller down to a price i can afford and am getting ready to send a deposit i can t pick them up for a week or 2 the seller doesn t know exactly how old they are but he believes they may be from the 70 s i ll have to try and judge the age when i see them in person all i know is if they re half as good as they look in the pics i think i ll be beyond thrilled i m actually thinking i might end up using them as the breakfast area chairs in the kitchen i can t wait to start designing around them in the space i ll have to find a table thats worthy of them it ll actually be an interesting challenge normally chairs play somewhat the part of backup dancers in design but lets face it these girls are divas to be honest i can t possibly imagine how they can be comfortable but in the end i think of a quote from one of my favorite movies to wong foo thanks for everything well pumpkins it looks like it comes down to that age old decison style or substance hmmmm posted by decades a go go at 3 20 pm 3 comments monday april 23 2012 online vintage yard sale i don t have time
