I inherited a set of plywood mid-century modern chairs from my Grandparents. I’ve always wondered where they came from and their designer. This week the lovely folks at Firefly House popped by for a meeting and cheeky pint. They kindly tweeted the chairs to see if anyone could enlighten us. Within half an hour Home Spun Vintage had come up trumps with the all the details. I can now confirm they are Neil Morris ‘Bambi’ chairs. Hooray! After a little looking around on the internet I quickly came across these beauties – Toby Arm Chairs – oh dear, I need more space for more chairs.

Last summer I spent a weekend in the beautiful Farndale, North Yorkshire Moors. Just one of the delights was The Band Room where Citay were playing. My post about it has just gone live on the Nothing To See Here website

The paper mill looked as though it hadn’t been touched since the last bell went. I had never appreciated how much work went into making paper, this was a huge operation. I really enjoyed the areas that gave you a glimpse of the people that worked there such as offices, lockers, mess rooms and canteens.

New year in the Yorkshire Dales exploring a derelict house just outside a small village on a quiet country lane. Nothing much remained apart from fixtures and fittings but they hinted at a once loved, colourful and fashionable interior. The last meter reading was taken in 1949.

I came across the Casino Carpet Gallery by Die is Cast (via Apartment Therapy).
David G Schwartz
“In a strange way, though, it’s sublime work of art, rivalling any expressionist canvas of the past century. Note the regal tones of Caesars Palace, the bountiful bouquet of Mandalay Place, the soft, almost abstract pointilism of Paris, all whispering, “gamble, gamble” just out of the range of consciousness as people walk to the nearest slot machine.”
I photographed the interior of Mecca Bingo Hall and Social Club in Sheffield last year and particularly liked the carpets. I’m not sure they convey any sublime messages but definitely offer a glitzy escapism that makes me want to visit more bingo halls with my camera.



We enjoy small museums, exploring the uk, found photos, film and ephemera. We blog about bits and pieces here.
