Vintage ’80s Deco Finds

September 4, 2013 by Kate Leave a Comment

Happy Wednesday, Everyone! I’ve been in a thrifting mood lately, and the experience has restored my faith in the return of 1980s collectibles! I thought I’d share some of my favorite finds with you, especially those with interesting lines and curves. Some were a few dollars. And then there are those pieces that are worth paying a bit more for, especially if they aren’t that easy to track down. Like the retro Toyo vase above, which I purchased from Etsy shop Vintage Lanie.

Glamorous ’80s Glass Finds

Today’s material of choice is glass. And we can’t get enough of it. Which is why we can’t help but feature 5 unforgettable glass finds from the 1980s. Above we see Big 1980s Retro Glass Earrings from Etsy shop Original Vintage Classics. The best part: this jewelry is hand painted in gold leaf!

Happy Fall, all you ’80s-lovers! Today’s autumn floral arrangement is super easy to create. The globular Haeger vase was a resale shop find (we’re talking a few bucks). Fill it with blooms from the same color family. We chose mums and roses in shades of peach and rust. That’s it! There’s something about the monochromatic look that beats you over the head with its ’80s color palette, transporting the arrangement from tacky-ville to cheeky-ville. Next, we show you how to jazz it up…
