Summer Staycation

August 22, 2016 by Kate 1 Comment

Hi Everyone! I’m getting ready to take a few days off this week and enjoy a little staycation. Below I’m sharing some fun links and retro-modern items to check out at your leisure. I’ll be back next week with a brand new ’80s Movie Style post filled with fabulous screen shots, plus a super-informative interview with a 1980s retail design expert. Until then, it’s time to celebrate the end of summer (and my birthday later this week)! Wishing you all a lovely week ahead…

New Decor with a Retro Feel

Anyone else drooling over this terrazzo-style mobile?

Paper & Stitch created a DIY geo mural that makes me want to grab a paintbrush!

THIS. COFFEE. TABLE. You just have to see it.

More amazing lighting from Urban Outfitters.

The garland above is from Party City. I ordered the flamingos below from the Oh Happy Day Shop, my go-to online shop for fun entertaining.

Don’t forget to enter our Graham & Brown wallpaper giveaway between now and September 3rd. We’re talking $200 worth of wallpaper! Enter multiple times to increase your chances of winning. See this post for details.

Marvelous Media…

I can’t wait to watch The Get Down on Netflix! Baz Luhrmann’s new series about the birth of hip-hop has gotten some pretty amazing reviews.

Any Neon Indian fans out there? Check out Alan Palomo’s latest video, which is comically over the top and can’t help but channel the early days of music video, VHS glitches, and bad nighttime TV (in the best possible way)!

Watch six ’80s music videos that showcase fashion trends from the Decade of Decadence via this oldie-but-goodie Mirror80 post…

Have you checked out interiorsofmurdershewrote? This Instagram account features “interiors and style of the 264 wonderful episodes of Murder She Wrote, 1984-1996”. Who’s on board with me?!
