Which ones are your favourites?

Vintage Customize Your Ikea Furniture

You love your home. You want to do everything you can to make it look nice, to give it that extra special vintage touch. But you’re on a tight budget. What to do? Well, it’s very likely that if this is your situation, a large percentage of your furniture came straight from the pages of Ikea.

Expedit Robins Egg Moroccan

Yes, their clean, classic design is unparalleled. But though there are many reasons to love IKEA (a restaurant INSIDE the store, you say?!), one of the undeniable downsides is knowing that everyone else has the same FLÖRGG as you.

IKEA Cabinets White Green
“Hey, that’s my FLÖRGG!”

Well, not anymore! With the (completely mind-blowing) Ikea customization site PANYL, you can choose from hundreds of finishes to add to your favorite furniture, including wood grain, patterns, and the season’s latest colors. For a vintage look, choose teak woodgrain drawer fronts, or why not avacado green shelf lining? Modern, bold patterns (like the robin’s egg blue Moroccan print Expedit above) are another great option to add character to your space.

2014 Pantone Colors

Just think of it – no messing around with painting, sanding, gluing – no mess at all, in fact! It’s basically a giant sticker. Who doesn’t love stickers? You love stickers. And you love IKEA! It’s a match made in heaven.

1910s Vogue Patterns | Edwardian Fashion Sketches

1913 Costumes Parisiennes George Barbier
The Edwardian period was a turning point in fashion history; the Victorian ideal of strict, structured dress met the beginnings of a softer, more lighthearted view of fashion. Young people were anxious to shed not only the physical constraints of the “old” style, but also the social mores that up to that time had been intrinsically linked to clothing in general. It was a time of breaking through limitations, both physical and philosophical.

The fashions that resulted from these social growing pains became more flamboyant, with designers trying radically new and different silhouettes, colours, and textures. They broke rules left and right, pushing the envelope of what was considered ‘acceptable’.

Here are several beautiful Vogue pattern sketches and George Barbier drawings, illustrating the contrasting styles of the decade.
