These two are my favourites today but I do like the style of the one below too
Kristen also took over these cute Shadow Boxes below. These were so popular in the 50's and 60's and why not I say. I think they are particularly fun in kid's rooms as a spot to arrange their treasures. From lego men to china figurines, shadow boxes give a collection a stylish home.
Apologies the photos are not good. Below is my favourite. I love the kitsch, cliche, mexican man decal. Up in the corner is a little mirror.
The paint techniques on the one above and below were all the rage in the 50's. Everything was at least two toned and edges were often highlighted in a different colour, as on the one above.
I hope you are all having a good week.
Loving all of these!

ReplyDeleteAmazing collections. Loving them all. xx
ReplyDeleteGosh, they are fabulous. I really love the last shadow box.
ReplyDeleteAh, nothing like a retro 50s Mexican - so much fun! I too love the last shadow box the best - very stylish. Those brown suitcases would look great in a stack ... Thanks for showing.

ReplyDeleteHa,forget the kids rooms,they'd be perfect for displaying grown-up treasures.
