These vintage theater seats were salvaged from a movie theater in Chicago that closed down in the 50′s. Awesome. And they’re for sale for $950 at Rhapsody Attic , which is awesome if you happen to have a thousand bucks around. Plus shipping. A whole lot of shipping.

How can you not love these?

I believe it is the Jones & Co Boxy Clock, which as you might have guessed from the lovely reflections in the photo taken by a certain booyaa, is made from glass. I am in serious coveting mode right now!

Like the original (I believe) these go from table to bar/counter height and have a 360 degree swivel.

They’re gas lift tested to operate at least 100,000 times. And a rubber ring lines the perimeter of the underside of the base to protect your floors from scratching.

The question, of course, is whether knock off furniture belongs in the realm of, say, knockoff designer bags and shoes. I’m going to guess that the human rights abuses associated with knockoff designer bags could conceivably be a problem in the land of knockoff furniture, since both likely come from parts of the world where the idea of a minimum wage is laughable. Thoughts?

Did I mention that they’re cute? Because they are!

Eighthourday is a Minneapolis design boutique and a husband and wife team. You can find selected prints on Etsy, where the price is definitely right (though you’ll have to find your own frames). Their Flickr page is definitely worth a look. Fair warning: It’s not ‘stuff for the home’ but rather plain old good design.

What’s not to like? You can base an entire room around a cool piece of vintage pottery, especially if the piece has great color or lines.

I’m not advocating smoking, but if you’re looking for ashtrays that don’t scream truck stop, vintage is the way to go.

Imagine busting these out at your next dinner party… maybe make it a theme party, complete with fish in aspic and “candle salad.”

Lovable? Creepy? Both?

Remember what I said about color and curves? This mug has both in spades!

A cookie jar that comes complete with its own arm and reads “snitching” isn’t something you see everyday, so it’s bound to start a conversation or two.

Love it! And if you didn’t know, owls are hot right now.

Isn’t this bedroom just divine? I love how all of her framed silhouettes are grouped into one corner. That said, silhouettes aren’t just for bedrooms! Far from it. Below the cut, you’ll find some silhouette inspiration that ranges from classic to eclectic. There’s even some plaid in there!

See? I wasn’t kidding about the plaid! How fun is that?

Now the Madonna Inn on the Central Coast of California… does it fit my criteria? Well the thing is that I can’t figure out if it’s a nice hotel trying to look like a cheesy hotel from the 60s or an actual cheesy hotel from the 60s trying to market itself as a retro kitschy nice hotel!

JUST HEAVEN: “This celestial room is embraced by golden cherubs and kissed in shades of blue to create a little heaven here on earth. An enchanting staircase winds upward into a private viewing tower above the king bed…where gentle rays of sunlight filter through multi-colored glass during the day and soft touches of moonlight linger at night. Graceful French-style furnishings fashion an affectionate ambiance in this heavenly creation for two.”

ROUND: “The round shape of the room mirrors a circus tent with a high ceiling and sparkling green sequenced walls. The lively multi-colored chandelier is harmonious with the theme, flying high above the ornamental accent pieces and whimsical furnishings throughout the room. The bathroom features two French pedestal sinks and a decorative tiled shower. ‘Round’ has a king bed and is located on the 3rd floor adjacent to ‘Merry’ and ‘Go.’”

SKY ROOM: “This cheerful and airy room has a cozy loft area with a double and twin bed overlooking a king bed on the first level. Dark blue carpet and decorative light fixtures echo the restful qualities of this two-level room. The bathroom continues the color scheme with blue tiled floor and shower and white pedestal sink. At this elevation, the private balcony provides a perfect outdoor space to relax. This room will accommodate up to five guests.”

BRIDAL FALLS: “This room was inspired by the grandeur and splendor of this picturesque landmark. Surrounded in natural stone, a lovely handcrafted leaded glass window graces the entrance of this secluded room in our hilltop unit. The bathroom features the Inn’s signature waterfall shower, rock wash basin and king bed.”

What do you think — retro kitschy or vintage holdover? My take is “Who cares!” I love the Madonna Inn because it’s hilarious either way, and even though my brain wants to tell me that everything in those rooms might just be vaguely unclean, I’d jump at a chance to stay there.
