Its all in the flooring go retro








A great way to save is to get inexpensive 12x12 vinyl black and white tile. Create a checkerboard traditional style design; which can go retro fifties or french country, even victorian style. These floors have been used during these different eras and styles. 















Or if you want to get creative, place tiles on a diagonal or diamond shape placement to create an interesting pattern. Tiles are inexpensive and never go out of style, in fact the style comes back every 30 years on average.

Upcycled Revamped Computer Table



My computer table which I have owned over 20 years really looked its age. I decided to paint and keep it another 20 years. I took white and black paint that I already had and mixed these two colors and got a mauve purple color. I was going for gray but I wasn't sure what colors to mix to get that color, next time I'l try blue and white. I loved the color and the shabby chic , slash vintagy effect it gave the computer cart. After priming the table white and painting the table purple; I let it dry for two days. I sanded the table around the legs, the edges, and the top of the cart to get a worn effect. I loved how the computer table came out, I expected the purple to be sort of a barneyish (as in Barney the Dinosaur) tone but it was more of a grape light color, really shabby chic.
