Reflecting on recent retro style
Well, it’s been a minute!
This year we’re keeping our “Thanksgiving table” simple with a fall picnic and fresh food.
A post on learning to run the race, even if you’re still figuring it all out…
Today’s post is about pasta. And unpredictability.
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…
You’re looking at the amazing modern beach house from the 1989 comedy Weekend at Bernie’s. If you’ve seen this movie, you know one really good reason to watch: the design! Keep reading for details…and LOTS of photos!
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…
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).
When I wrote my first Mirror80 post back in 2010, people still cringed at the thought of 1980s design. Now ’80s-inspired decor makes an appearance each season (insert cheers and applause here)!!! It’s fun to discover so many new retro-modern pieces, many of which are affordable…
If you’re a fan of the recent retro (the mid-’70s through the mid-’90s), you may have a slew of ideas for your interior. But what about the great outdoors?! How do you get the look in your garden and other areas near the exterior of your home? Scroll down for a collection of photos that feature retro lighting, flamingo yard ornaments and more…
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.
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…
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.
Hi Everyone! It’s been a big week at our house. My husband and I welcomed a baby daughter! Our hearts are full, and we are totally smitten. I thought the whimsical, retro-modern decor featured above and below was a fun way to share our announcement, especially since these very photos inspired me as we prepared for the baby…
