I’ve been seeing cats everywhere these days. They are always hanging out in the coolest interiors too…Anyway, kitty cat there seems to approve of the renovation and so do I. The brick wall of 60 years was uncovered and exposed during the renovation. I love the texture it adds to the space and it makes the perfect backdrop for that Beatles poster.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-RGJpR6RfAw2a_YGtT05C4_YWE3-aRc806nqvBa8C-VnU6e9_fpEapZflS4GIhHqhkim5EcdueLNm6WR7Ib-2_TDaHMdkt0dpxK1Sl5VPXmyTOR_xc2XCgmRf7Q5k-MQ-RIRQ8X6Td690/s1600-h/saop1%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="saop1" border="0" height="927" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZbB7hJFEI8uEvmGowE5fycPITfGcFRcegGh0QYwKS2Yq83a2sEuhcRShuj2k35j5AZtuAsJaYk9JMvocYlavAss_WOR2ZzIlbc3KkfnOveSXsY2LBV-PToV1aBtRmv6IXNM-YZKt6dc7b/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="saop1" width="700" /></a><br /><div align="center">Is that the same cat?

We’re besotted with the era that embraced elegance, glamour, over the top style( fashion and interiors alike). Interiors echoed the art deco style where chrome and lacquer were a must. Of course, there would be no The Great Gatsby without lots of bling! Here are some images that are inspired by The Great Gatsby.
