~Geometric~
Now , Personally, with Geometric Print, you have to be very careful what you match it with and how you use it! Its one of the trickier wallpapers to design with! But hey were all up for a challenge, aren't we?

~COLOURS!~
Colours, Colours, Colours! 
There is never anything wrong with just a nice bit of colour! The splash of excitement can be put in anywhere! 
~Patterned Curtains
~Cushions
~Duvet set
~Accessories (Check out: "That Cute Little Touch" ~Check out my article for more!)

How do i use colour most effectively?
I divide colour into two main categories
~ Neutral and Pastels.
~Bright Bold Statement colours.

With Neutrals and Pastels, paint all your walls the same colour, and add the bursts of flavour through other pieces. Maybe a Big statement piece ~Check out my article for more!

Bright Bolf Statement Colours:
Be very careful! Painting all your bedroom walls a bright vibrant colour is the same as pasting a bold wallpaper over all the walls!
1.Lets use the colour Red as an example. When applying red to your room, only add it to half the walls in the room. So if you had 4 main walls , add it to two of them, the other two splash on a neutral colour! You can have the wall corresponding or beside each other, which ever you think is best, i couldn't say my opinion without seeing the room myself! 
This house has chosen to use red as a feature wall!
               


OR


There is another option! paint all your walls that vibrant colour, but tone the room down by using neutral colours for furnishings!    
Some chose to combine both, and have neutral furnishing, and not all the walls painted. It really depends on the room, and what you are trying to achieve!

The Vintage fair!


Vintage Fairs!
As you may know the VCR Team and i went on an outing for you guys and explored a local vintage fair! We had so much fun and bought so much gorgeous vintage stuff!

There was a great variety of vintage items there to offer,  it was jam packed and I highly recommended any vintage fans to go their

I would love to start by thanking all the lovely stall holders for enabling us to share our day with you by taking a few snaps of their gorgeous Vintage collections,
Starting off today with a little exclusive from our last shoot, that hasn't been shown before!
This is a gorgeous picture and fits in with this weeks blog due to the lovely, beautiful vintage fan. It has so much detail it is simply amazing, if only we actually needed them in Norfolk.


Right first of all lets start with the marvelous collections of brooches and badges we found there! They were so gorgeous, 
 suggesting different vibes!

The delicate and elegant brooches would just make
that outfit.
How simply gorgeous

This follows on nicely to the magnificent Jewellery, the displays were gorgeous and the jewellery was to die for!

A taste of vibe and culture!
A lovely display, full of Vintage treasures!

Next up was the gorgeous crockery and ornaments! They were extravagant , so delicate,In fact words can't describe them take a look for yourself...
A magnificent Tea Party collection.

Full of wonders!



Elegantly detailed crockery


Wow! Just Wow.

Moving on to my favorite bit, the clothes section! Here are some snap shots of the team modeling some vintage must haves.
Buttercup (me) with my fabulous jumper
what an outburst of colour!


I simply adore this picture of snowdrop!
Top class vintage , I say!


More of the must have jumpers!
Us all wearing Vintage styles
Snowdrop - Jumper
The Country Rose- patterned Blue Dress
Buttercup- Silk Rose top ( Which i ended up purchasing) 

These dresses are around 1940's - 1960's , they are simply gorgeous and the detail is astonishing! Out of pure coincidence my last interior article was on the 1940's kitchen layouts!
Words can't describe!


LOVE the lace detail!
Your Big Day could not be more special in
this stunning wedding Dress!!



Now last but not least it wouldn't be one of my articles without at least on bit of furniture would it? This is a RETRO chair we found, that I fell in love with! I only wish I had it for my "Rocking it Retro" article!!
