Vintage Renewal - Vintage Camera Nightlight

Scared of the dark? There is a stylish solution. I love these vintage camera nightlights made by Jason Hull here in the Bay Area. He rescues old cameras and turns them into little nightlights. All the prettier to see you with, m'dear:


If you think you're handy enough, he's also posted DIY instructions over on Instructables, and you can try to make your own.

Vintage Organization: Pyrex

If you're like us, some of your resolve for 2012 is focused on de-cluttering and organizing your life.  We've decided to put together a series on how to use vintage items to keep your life ship shape.

Up first is my desk.  I've found that certain things just need to be easily accessible.  Luckily vintage pyrex fridge dishes fit all the little things (lipstick, airline frequent flyer cards, and change) perfectly.  You can find some similar to these on etsy  or ebay .  I added a vintage San Francisco glass to hold my pens. Easy, cheap and, my desk now makes me happy to catch a glimpse of.

Vintage Renewal: Sleevefaces

I know alot of people cringe at the idea of re-using vinyl records (unless they're too scratched for playing music any more) in "creative repurposing" projects, which is what makes Sleeveface such an awesome idea. Participants take photos of themselves with a record sleeve obscuring or augmenting any part of their body or bodies, causing an illusion, and no records get harmed during the creative process.

All of a sudden, those piles of records you pass in the thrift store conjure up so many fun potential photos:

Vintage Renewal: Kasbah Mod Typewriters

Vintage typewriters are pretty cute on their own, but I like the looks of these revamped ones from Kasbah Mod. These "rejuvenated" typewriters are fully-functional and professionally restored to their original working condition, with a little kick to freshen their look: Color block two-toned typewriters, chrome/gold/metallic plated typewriters and artist prints turn each typewriter into a work of art:





If the $800+ price point is a little high, maybe it could be a fun DIY project for a rainy day?
