Whether you are excited to go back to school or feeling a weird sense of deja-vu this time of year, why not transform your room into a space you’re excited to go back to every day? What better place to work on your studies–from Freud to Fashion–than your own retro refuge? Attack a no-twist bottle with our Bear Bottle Opener, start a music + fashion pandemic with a pair of Panda Ear Buddies, look back at the time with our A Long Time Ago Clock, and lastly light up your life with a Groovy Kind of Lamp. Yeah baby, yeah! Have fun and create your perfect pad with our newest MOD-est decor fashions!

Welcome to a new blog category; this section will be housing all future decor posts!  As this category is developed and grows, I would like to basically cover anything and everything Vintage/Mod-Decor related. It may be a  vintage decor photo that inspires us,  a retro artist/painting, a vintage styled room, vintage pieces of furniture, or vintage decor DIY; the possibilities are endless!  As I said before, I am always torn when thrifting as to what strikes me more: vintage clothing or vintage decor…

Personally, I think the appeal of decorating with vintage decor is that:

1. You can usually do it inexpensively (unless it is a pricey antique)
2. It is something you won’t see it in every other apartment
3. It inspires creativity!  Finding something old and ragged-looking sometimes is cool in itself, but an occasional revamp can create truly interesting pieces!

As I develop this category I would like to know if  there is anything vintage-decor-related that you would like to see. Let the inspiration begin!
