East End Sign

Eastendsignjpg

If you like vintage lettering but still haven’t succumbed to any retro signs, then perhaps Signs for Homes will have something to tempt you, such as this East End Sign.

The wording is created in a typically retro font and was apparently inspired by the designers “days living in the East End and their love for classic gangster movies” – rather than a love of the similarly named soap opera. It is made from brushed steel, measures 22cm high by 95cm and costs £125. There are similar sized designs with other words, including “Made in England”, “New York”, the 50s inspired “Milk Shake” and the most self-referential “Vintage”.

You can buy a sign for your home from Signs for Homes via My Deco.

Mid-century inspired textile wall art from Three Sheets 2 the Wind

3 sheets larger

Like the Fiona Howard fabrics featured earlier in the week, the American company Three Sheets 2 the Wind uses natural imagery to recall mid-century textile designs. The design pictured is called Seedlings and is available as an 8 x 8 inches textile print for the wall. 

Made by hand silk screening onto Irish linen, Seedlings comes in several different colour combinations, all also influenced by nature – the colours used in the image are called 'celery' and 'bark'. This piece costs $30 but they have many other similarly inspired designs for sale which extend to use on pillows and bedlinen.

Urban Embroidered Cushions

Donut-embroidered-cushions-low

Simon Seabright has designed a series of four Urban Embroidered Cushions which feature Americana images most often associated with the 1950s.

Bowl features a bowling alley, skittle and bowling ball. Love Shack features a motel with a neon sign. Gas Station shows a typical American gas station. Possibly the most interesting is the Donuts option which shows a picture of a donut store which can be personalised with your own name.

The cushions measure 65cm squared and cost £95 each. They can be bought from Rockett St George.
