"Oriental" /Asian mishmash
Just thought I'd show some of my oriental living room pix, I got three of them from my friend Merilee, my retro vintage partner in crime. She looks for my kind of stuff and I look for hers. Although today she got an awesome mermaid lamp that I am lusting after. The paint by number is probably my fav. But the Lady is really old and I love her too. Now can you see why everybody calls my living room the Opium den??

I have a sort of love/hate when it comes to oriental stuff.
I have some of it myself... My original 1950's kitchen lamp is oriental. Mom decorated the living room in the 50's with beach stuff and asian statues.
But for some reason, I just can't do a whole room with this theme! I know ethnic stuff was popular back then, and it's so affordable to pick these things up on eBay and in thrift stores, but . . . My heart just isn't into it.
However, I love looking at others ethnic/oriental collections!
Yes, I've waivered over the years, changed to "ballerina" and then did the cabin look,etc. But I always seem to go back to this look. The good thing is, I can mix and match if I ever want to go strictly "mod". That's what's cool about the '50's, it all mixes so well! Zootsuitmama
