Fresh Vintage Decór: Mad Men-esque

Hello, friends! Dennice of Fringe here. Welcome to this month’s home décor feature. I’m so glad you’re here. I would first like to thank the very talented and lovely Nicole for giving me this opportunity as a guest on her beautiful blog. Thank you so much, sweet girl! It’s an honor to be here.

Fresh Vintage…An oxymoron? In one way, perhaps, but as far as home décor goes, it is right on target. Vintage is the new black, so to speak. It has been for some time now, and I for one don’t see it losing favor any time soon.

Personally, I adore old things. They bring me so much pleasure. I love to think about the history of a piece, whether I know that history or not. There is no end to the variety and décor styles that you can achieve with vintage pieces. From cottage charm, to rustic chic, to mid century Palm Springs (think Rat Pack), and let’s not forget the every popular Mad- Men-esque rage that has hit the fashion and interior design world by storm.

I always like to focus on a décor theme that is affordable to most everyone who may be reading this post. Vintage is very often quite reasonably priced. You can find absolute one-of-a-kind treasures and pay only a few dollars, if you’re in the right place at the right time.

I would like to carry this Fresh Vintage Décor through to several posts. Focusing on different styles/themes of décor. For this first post, I decided to go with one of the styles I mentioned above…Mad-Men-esque. It’s fun, sexy, clean, simple and sometimes dramatic. I was able to find a cornucopia* of vintage items for that swanky look.


Vintage Barware Glasses


Bar Dishes


Starburst Clock


Brass Cranes


Black, Faux Bois and Metal Chair


Sundial Bookends

And there you have it, a little sampling of mid-century modern Mad Men décor. So fun, isn’t it? There are many treasures out there, just waiting to be claimed. I hope this post has inspired you to think of vintage as a fresh addition to your home décor plans.

Thank you so much for visiting. I wish you and your loved ones a wonderful Thanksgiving, and I’ll see you next time.

Until then… take care. xo Dennice

*My husband dared me to find a use for the word cornucopia at some point in this post, to carry on the Thanksgiving spirit. So there. I did it!
