Not So Shabby Chic

 
 
The handcrafted movement today has its roots in crafty trends from decades past, the most recent of which was a push for all things handmade during the hippie period of the late 1960s/early 1970s.  Of course craftspeople create in all eras, but this was a moment in décor history when they were making headlines and inspiring entire magazines, like McCall's Needlework & Crafts, the source for this terrific interior décor.

It's a 1970 bedroom complete with poppy needlepoint bedspread, quilted bolster and crocheted rug.  The headboard, drawer pulls and mirror are made of embroidery hoops and crochet.  Even the lamp is handmade, created of an old glass bottle and new wiring.  Not so shabby - and chic!

  1. My sister has a great craze for this kind of handcrafted stuff and she really wanna create some cool things like these. So, she has been asking me for a long time to buy some stuff to create these things. But I am struggling so much with dissertation, so I will buy dissertation writing services online first. Then I will get her some knitting and crafting stuff because I can’t delay my submission more.

  4. OMG what a cool looking handcrafted stuff! The bedroom looks incredibly beautiful. The color combination also made me amazed. And the most interesting point was to learn about the trendy period of handcrafted work. You really made the post well-valued and admirable. Anyway, if some bedding item hunters look for cozy and peace-making comforter, I would recommend round comforters to take a try.
