Megan's Route 66 Thrift.

My friend Megan came into work last week wearing this cute little vintage dress. We swooned. Just the collar on it alone, but then the great print. And the cute yellow belt she added for flair. This girl knows her complimentary colors! She picked it up on a road trip with her boyfriend, cross country on Route 66. A sign advertising 5¢ Pop caught their eye, so they hit the brakes and pulled the car on over. Low and behold, they discovered a ton of vintage treasures tucked in amongst the soda pop. So, with a story that fun, I decided to snap some pix, and see if I could turn Megan's dress into a room. Let's see, shall we?


Let's start with this fantastic mid-century modern credenza, and Amy Solovay's Twiggy Pop painting.

And across the room, this flagstone & fireplace with a great sofa with a great geometric, Missoni-like pattern like this sitting in front of it.


Off across the room, in a dining nook, the Hans Olsen Rojle dining set below could look great, too.

Perhaps we'll paint the one of the walls as an accent, this lovely shade of purple (from Melissa Mcgee) and add that cool orange chair with the fabulous Nelson Lamps and modern art abstract painting.


Da-dah! Route 66 thrifted dress transformed into modern pop-art pad. Road trips are always good for stirring the imagination. Thanks Megan!
