Add some character to your walls....decorate Vintage Style!

Vintage items are a unique way to add some great style to your home!  Here are a few items from my shops that would just LOVE to be on your walls!  If you see something you like, just click on the pic for more info!

These cute oil paintings in wooden frames would add a shabby chic touch to small powder rooms or a guest room...

Add these 1940's era (I believe) set of 3D pictures in wooden frames to a bedroom or library........

Okay...so this one wouldn't really hang on your wall....but wouldn't this art deco frame look fabulous on your mantel or dresser???  Use this to frame a cool black and white photo, an illustration from old sheet music (like the one in the pic) or a 1920's magazine, or an old postcard for a sophisticated vintage feel!

I found this map in the back of a 1960's history book.  This one has civil war battles and other facts.  There was also another map that has historical facts about the lower 48 states.  Both maps are in great shape!  Would look fabulous framed and placed on the wall of a classroom or in your study!  I'm selling both maps and the history book together for one low price.  Just click on the map below to see more details.

I had fun with this one!  Add your favorite glam photo and display this altered scrapbook page in a mid-century mod style frame!

Classy 1950's-1960's style vintage Fragonard ceramic cameos in ornate frames!  Use these in the living room, bedroom, or library!

Frame each postcard of this set of 6 moonlight postcards from the 1940's in small frames and hang them together for a really cool display!  Great for bedrooms or  guest rooms!

This cute Texaco ad from 1934 would look great in an art deco or mid-century mod style frame!  Unique item for collectors!

Talk about a conversation starter!  Add some instant kitschy history to your walls with this vintage political ephemera!  Also...teachers...you could use this little piece of history to decorate your classroom!

For creative folks.....here are some books with cool illustrations.  Frame the illustrations or use them to create collages or mixed media works of art for your walls!!

                                          This 1960's science encyclopedia is only $4.95!!!
                                          The next 3 pics show some of the illustrations from
                                          this book.....

                                          This set of 3 books from the 1960's is only $15!  The
                                           3 pics below are illustrations from these books.....

And last but not least.....ooh la la......it's a vintage French print in an old scalloped wooden frame!
