Interior Decoration & Materials
Sundry Topics on Finishes, Materials, & Furnishings
One of the byproducts of research is the plethora o' stuff that one collects
because it's so darned interesting. Many of our resources include descriptions
of products used back in the day, many of which leave us scratching our
heads wondering how ANYONE in their right might could have used them. On
the other hand there are other materials that were very practical, easy
to use, environmentally friendly, and cost effective.
This is our repository of research on ways in which denizens of the early 20th century went about finishing, decorating, and furnishing their homes. We'll explore handcrafts like needlework and sewing, painting and stenciling, and even seasonal decorating like what the best dressed homes were sporting for Christmas in 1915.
It's our collection and represents the way the wind blows us from one source to the next. If there is something of particular interest to you, send us an email. We'll do our best to find sources.
