July 31, 2017 by Kate 2 Comments

Happy Summer! For me, the happiest days involve large amounts of tropical greenery and blooms. Since I’m not taking a vacation this year, the magic has to happen through floral arrangements. Let’s just say my ’80s Deco vases have gotten some good use…

Ready for more Golden Girls style?! Today’s post is dedicated to the breezy, ’80s Deco look of Rose’s bedroom. Lots of rattan and a sprinkling of pastels give this space beachy style. I’ve played up the light, coastal look to create an updated version of the space. Keep reading for details…

IKEA’s New AVSIKTLIG Collection

June 8, 2017 by Kate Leave a Comment

As soon as I learned about IKEA’s new AVSIKTLIG Collection, I scheduled a shopping trip to load up on treasures. If you recognize the zigzag pattern in the photo above, that’s because it’s straight out of the ’80s! In fact, AVSIKTLIG is a collaboration between IKEA and 10-gruppen (also known as Tio-Gruppen).

Retro Game Rooms That Redefine Leisure

March 30, 2017 by Kate Leave a Comment

If you had a spare room in the 1980s, leisure was the name of the game! In fact, many McMansions had an upstairs “family room” at the center of the layout, and these spaces were perfect for pulling game room duty. But the game rooms featured in today’s post put style above kid-friendly function.

New Decor/Retro Flair: CB2

March 9, 2017 by Kate Leave a Comment

Today on the blog we’re celebrating the retro-modern decor of CB2. From a lacquer, Lucite and brass dresser inspired by ’70s Italian design to an octagonal mirror that could thrive on the set of an ’80s sci-fi film, these new pieces prove you can buy modern decor to get a retro look at home. Especially when the spring collection is this good…

Golden Girls Kitchen Style

February 23, 2017 by Kate Leave a Comment

Anyone else been watching a LOT of Golden Girls on Hulu?! I’m soaking up every episode and taking in all of the amazing interior design. One of the most comforting sets is the Golden Girls’ kitchen. That beige wallpaper, those Chippendale chairs…the ever-evolving array of tropical tablecloths! Time to see if we can recreate the look in our homes with the help of retro-modern decor.
