Pigeon Vintage

by Jessica Posted on June 1, 2013

I’ve just come across Pigeon Vintage, a lovely Brighton shop with an equally lovely tumblr of the various things they like.  Here are a few current and archived items of theirs that caught my eye…

1960s Italian pear ice bucket.  If you like this, see our 1960s brass pineapple ice bucket here:

Italian Wheatsheaf coffee table with gilt iron and silvered flower base.

Stylised human body carved from wood, 1930s. 

Italian glass and chrome light bulb lamp, 1950s.

Gurunsi Earth Houses of Burkina Faso

by Jessica Posted on February 17, 2013

I would like to paint the outside of my house like this, though I suspect I might not get away with it.

I find these images inspiring and insightful – they make me think about the need for expression and personalisation of the home no matter the environment or the presumed economic status of those that live there.

Show us some of your own attempts at expression and personalisation of your home by commenting below.
