Get Retro with poppycotton
31Oct05
Lets face it, nothing says retro quite like those original fabric prints you see in second hand stores. Problem is, how do you introduce that vintage moo moo into your chic flat without making it look like an expensive salvation army? Well fret no more, Melissa Womack of Poppycotton has done all the hard work for you. She searches out all the best vintage prints, and turns them into beautiful pillows and lampshades. The pillows are 100% cotton with bright vintage prints on the front, and more subdued earthy textured prints on the back. They are definitly all classic retro one of a kind pillows, but multiple pillows, and matching lamps are available for some prints. Check her website for availability.
