Deco is Divine




“In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars.”


― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

It must be the excitement of the new version of the Great Gatsby coming out on film May 10, http://thegreatgatsby.warnerbros.com/
but I am obsessed with all things Deco.

I can't stop thinking of ways to bring some deco decor into my home. Rejuvenation has some great lighting options...

If you have a period home, this pretty door set could work, on a black enameled door:

The fixtures from Rejuvenation are quite resonable and nice quality.

If you are looking for one of a kind Deco, 1st Dibs is the place to shop.
I found these lovlies:

These Gio Ponti sconces reference the period.

These vintage Baughman shelving units also make me think of deco, even though they are modern.
