Maybe it's because I grew up with four brothers... but I am a sucker for old, vintage-y automobiles. So when Chris and I were out walking Nicky Sunday I fell for this 1934 van.. every thing about it.. the Art Deco shape, Hercule Poirot era, that shape, the gorgeous turquoise color, and that patina! Right there, parked outside of the little breakfast cafe we frequent on weekends..
Don't you love these old vehicles?

| and then... this is a design blog after all... we came across THIS incredible turquoise lamp in the antique shop.. a commissioned work by Tiffany, it was made to go with the Rookwood pottery base, circa 1900... if it looks good in my iPhone photo, it was stunning in person... as were the desk accessories.. lamp: $35,000... a little more than our Sunday stroll budget permitted! |

ReplyDeleteI had to smile because I'm similar to youon 3 accounts - 4 brothers, a lover of vintage cars and the Art Deco period. I live in a house from that era and we have managed to keep almost all of its original features, including a bathroom. All I need is a car from this period sitting in my garage to complete "the look"! Warm regards.
