| eBay watch: 1972 Fiat 500L car Posted: 14 Jul 2011 09:44 AM PDT We do like the modern version, but you can't beat the original - like this 1972 Fiat 500L. |
| Bauhaus Archive app brings modernism to the iPhone Posted: 14 Jul 2011 07:45 AM PDT It seems right that a cutting-edge design and architectural movement of the past has its own smartphone presence, as is the case with the Bauhaus Archive iPhone app. |
| For sale: Five-bedroomed art deco house in Willaston, Wirral, Cheshire Posted: 14 Jul 2011 07:29 AM PDT A great house from the outside, this five-bedroomed art deco house in Willaston, Wirral, Cheshire doesn't quite have the same wow factor inside. Although it does offer enough of a 'blank canvas' to put the period back in Sadly, only some of the period features survive from the original era. The exterior looks superb and the original roof terrace, the wood flooring and (some of the) windows are all there. But overall, it's more modern family home than period gem inside. On the upside though, it's not been overly renovated, so should be easy to convert back to a 1930s-style property if that's what you wish. In terms of accommodation, you get a ground floor entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen / breakfast room, pantry / store and cloakroom / w.c. Upstairs, you'll find the master bedroom, second, third and fourth bedrooms and a re-fitted bathroom. The second floor fifth bedroom also offers access to a large (parapet walled) roof terrace with good views. Outside, there's a gated drive, a double garage and plenty of gardens. |

Pictured here is the table lamp version, which is available in white or this more unusual orange option. It measures 27 cm in diameter and stands at 31cm high. It gives out a soft mood light. If you want a stronger room light, then the floor standing version is a better option. It is 75 cm in diameter and 78cm tall, but is only available with a white shade. The table lamps cost just over £20 and the floor lamp a little over £56. Visit the Ikea website for more information. |

Don't fear, with this vintage-inspired, golden necklace you can have your very own snitch around your neck, or use the charm as a bracelet.

The dress is pretty and practical and can easily be worn for day or night. The flattering fit is suitable for most people and the 1940s-style tea dress pattern brings a certain amount of vintage charm to the dress. The cinched in high waist and pleated skirt create an instant answer for wardrobe dilemmas. It's a dress you will come to rely on again and again and the colours fit well with the changing seasons. Best news of all - it's a total bargain and only £24.99 from New Look. |

| Austin swivel chair from Dwell Posted: 14 Jul 2011 02:46 AM PDT Fancy getting yourself your own Bond villain style swivel seat but are on a bit of a budget? Take a look at the Austin swivel chair, new at Dwell. This design is part of their Autumn collection which is currently previewing online ahead of its arrival into shops in August. As you'd expect from Dwell, the collection draws heavily on 60s and 70s influences, not least this chair which looks like it could have come straight out of a late 60s pad. This is the look on a budget, however, as the chair is upholstered in faux leather, with a stainless steel swivel base. Due in stores on 11 August, the chair costs £299. Order it online |
