Before Pinterest there was ....

We are now spoilt for idea choice with the fabulous Pinterest making it so easy to browse & collate ideas for projects, home décor suggestions & much more.

It was not always so; many will remember the mood boards we created from cut out magazine bits for inspiration whenever we wanted to create something else.

I was gifted a fabulous vintage sewing basket for my birthday this week & amongst the things in the basket was a selection of fabrics, all pinned together.

 

It seemed to have an order to it & Ms M & I looked through them & tried to decide on the choices which were made not too long ago.

We both decided that the fabrics are definitely 1960's / 1970's ....

 

 The whole pinned selection is shown on the top, then 3 very bold swatches were at the end (bedrooms perhaps?) with complementary colours gracing the first few samples.

We thought the orange / yellow / green stripes were curtaining with the striped fabric for dining chairs & the bold red furnishings with the gold patterned fabric for curtains in a living room ...

The heavy pink velvet had us stumped - lounge? Dining room ....

What do you make of the colour choices?  Do you think we guessed some of them correctly or how would you have used them? A random find that reminded us that Pinterest has not always been the platform of choice.

Thanks for stopping by, I look forward to your opinions on the choices
