Vintage Photography: Ana Pontes Deck the Walls

Teacups and Roses  8x12  $21 at AnaPontesPhotography

Perhaps you love antiques but don't want them sitting all over your home and collecting dust. Then why not go for vintage photography as a viable alternative?  I just adore the work of Ana Pontes who has just recently put her work up for sale in the AnaPontesPhotography Etsy shop!

Typewriter and Rose 8x12 $21 by AnaPontesPhotography

 I was just talking about how much I love old typewriters the other day, but this photo is amazing. It would look great in a dining room, living room or office.   She also has a wide selection of floral shots, a lot of roses, natural landscapes and still life shots in her portfolio.

Dolls and Bears, 8x12 $21.00 at AnaPontes Photography

Perhaps my favorite is the vintage dolls and bears.  She has managed to capture the beauty of such old, and it's new again. This would look lovely on the wall, and what's better, your antiques won't get dusty or dirty or broken over time. The most maintenance you have is the occasional dusting of a frame.

Industrial Furniture for Shabby, Farm or Mod Decor

OOAK unique upcycled reclaimed farm metal table at The Steel Fork

I really don't think you can go wrong having a bit of industrial furniture in your home. I for one wouldn't mind having a new piece for the sake of housing favorite collectibles or antiques.  I know some of us worry that something industrial won't "go" with the present decor, but perhaps you may need to break some rules. Out with the old "everything has to match " theory and in with the new "anything goes."

Library Card Catalog from Etsy, find this at VidaliasVintage

Sometimes the perfect decor happens when you throw something together that doesn't belong. The lest things you'd consider making a marriage of, try it out. Be daring, be unique, or if worse comes to worse, steal a few tips from Etsy!  One thing you must remember is that you don't HAVE to keep the same eras interlined.  Mid century modern can mix with the twenties if you let it!  You CAN break all the rules!  It's your style corner today!

French side tables painted red, look great against a shabby country decor wall. Get them at DrabtoFabVintage
