We are nearly at the end of our vintage spectacular, and what a ride it has been! We’ve seen sexy slippers in retro bedrooms, £1.80 gas and electricity bills, and the pink steel of a vintage kitchen. Today, we are going to look at one of the rooms that tends to get forgotten when we … Continue reading
As we’re in the middle of our vintage spectacular, we thought we would look at something a little bit different. We’re currently moving house, and therefore looking into new utility providers, so we thought we would do a bit of research into what bills were like in days gone by. We were actually quite surprised … Continue reading
Part 2 of our vintage spectacular looks at the rooms that many of us take great care and pride in; the bedroom.
