Retro Homeware On The Highstreet

Long time no speak! I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas and a beautiful New Years! I was gifted the most fantasic microwave (yes, you read that right!) for Christmas from my Dad. I saw it on the Wilkinsons website and instantly fell in love! I'm sure you will too when you see it! And I'm sure if it was in an expensive kitchenware shop, you'd be expecting to pay well over £100 for it. I, however, found it for the unbelievable price of just £50! If any of you follow me on Instagram, I'm sure you will have already seen it, but here is my perfect microwave (I never thought I be pairing those two words together!)



It looks even better in real life!

And here's how it looks in my kitchen :-)

Aaaanyway, completely got sidetracked there! But my point is, the highstreet/supermarkets have so much to offer in the 'homeware' department, so you should always keep an eye out for little retro-inspired pieces for your home! Here is a little collection of pieces that I would love to see in my home. I must admit that a lot of things definitely aim towards the 'retro kitsch' end of the vintage scale as opposed to the genuinely vintage end, but these are pieces that I love and I hope you love too! :-)

Charity shops are a great place for vintage pieces for your home, from sofas to glasswear, they usually have it all! There are also charity shops that are only furniture specific so do some research and pop into your local one... You might just find the vintage dressing table of your dreams! :-)

With love,
