Deco is Divine

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

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.

Sadly, the home was razed by a developer.
