nifty fifties
I've always been attracted to mid-century decor, and while recently I've been leaning towards industrial Americana rather than retro kitsch (probably because as kitsch has gotten super popular and there are lots of high street home options available, it's cheapened the look for me), there is something about a vintage wallpaper print and modular sofa that still makes me weak at the knees.
I was planning to go to the Vintage Furniture Flea in Bethnal Green on Sunday (September 11th) to see if there were any bargains to be had, but I'm visiting a friend in Nottingham. If anyone knows, let me know if it's worth going to the next one in December!

I went to one at York Hall a couple months ago and it had some really good still. Still a bit out of my price range but there were some items which I wish I had got (like 6 ercol chairs for - if I remember £160)
