A very small part of me wishes I had an Art Deco house

[Tom]

This is lovely and, as much as I love my house, I could just as easily love a house of this period. I kind of wish I hadn't seen it now....I was only looking for a sink !!

Me too! Although recent reading suggests that very very very few would have had a purely art deco house with all art deco stuff inside. It seems to have been just as popular to look back to country house style, or faux Elizabethan.

But still, if you bought a 20s "stockbroker Tudor" house there's no reason why not to art deco-ify it into oblivion!

I'm very tempted to do a 30s bathroom here to match that loo.

Here are some Art Deco pants:

those shoes look very painful, people must have had sore feet in those days.
Unless of course you were an Egyptologist touring the valley of the kings in which case you would have dressed like a hobo.

But they're the Chris and Joce outfits in three week's time!

Orders from Egypt anyone? Mummified cats? Sphinxes? Scarabs?
