I have a major obsession with mid century decor! Although my husband appreciates the style, he is very picky and does not want to end up with more clutter than decor (he likes simple rather than a lot to look at). We are both also very much into saving money, as we splurge on other things and sometimes need to cut corners somewhere, right?
I adore true vintage, but because our wallets can only take so much, reproduction or DIY are often a more realistic option. I have compiled a list of a few of my favorite vintage do it yourself projects with links to the details! Note, these projects are not my own, they are simply a list for your convenience!! :)
Enjoy!!!
