If I had to get professional photos done, I'd contact Joan Bateman over at <a href="http://www.gainsboro.ca/">Gainsboro Studio</a>. Photographers can make or break your career, and it takes someone who knows how to mix good design with style. These photographs are amazing,and I don't care where you are in the world. It would behoove you to meet with Joan in Canada or half way across the globe.Some really good shots would be crucial if you are on the brink of something big. <br />

Or, if you just wanted to invest enough in yourself to have photography like this, that looks like a magazine spread. I really like Joan's style. She seems something we can't when she's behind the lens. Only when the photos are here, can we understand. I really think you'd agree if you saw her photos here on <a href="http://pinterest.com/joanbateman">Pinterest, </a> (follow her and pin away) or on her <a href="http://gainsborostudio.blogspot.com/">blog </a>or site. She is on Facebook under Gainsboro Studio.<br />

Old style signs from stores or vintage boutiques are so hard to find. What if you could replicate these into your daily life? What if Etsy had the best kept secret ever, a shop called <a href="http://benchmarkcustomsigns.etsy.com/">Benchmark Custom Signs </a> whose owner Phil makes these signs with great pride. A veteran with a keen eye for style, design, and quality............I so love these signs. <br />

</a></div>These shown here are all made of high quality oak, though different woods are used Phil loves hardwoods. Deep routing shows the gorgeous details of the oak, making these signs carved into wonderful works of art. Hung on any wall, office, shop, or room you can turn a regular old room into something grand. The one below is part of the "black oak line" by Phil from Benchmark Custom Signs on Etsy. He has all kinds of styles, but these, no doubt are my favorites. <br />

</tbody></table>One of my favorite vintage dinnerware designer is Massimo Vignelli. The Heller dinnerware was first rolled out in Italy, and won good design awards in 1964. Mod, funky and stackable these melmac like heavy plastic designs paved way to more modern kitchens and funky decor. Examples can be found in the Modern Museum of Art but in addition, are plentiful still to purchase an assemble a set in many colors. <br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Find this Krups Funky Timer at HuntersKitchen Etsy shop.</b></i></span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>Truth be told, vintage melmac, plastic and other fantastic plastics can really spunk up the drab kitchen. Not to mention, Surrounding yourself by good style may make your cooking and meal making or planning more creative. Just think of the time that went into these designs, to get them to be both functional, and useful. <br />

There's no better way to dress your home swag style than with professional art taken by extraordinary photographers who have managed to capture the best in Roadside Diners, forgotten about Motels, old Bowling Alley Signs, Fast Muscle Cars, and (eeks) perhaps even the scariest of small dives! One shop I really admire is <a href="http://retroroadsidephoto.etsy.com/">RetroRoadsidePhoto on Etsy.</a> Owner Stefanie Poteet has really managed to encapsulate lovely part of retro history.<br />

Stefanie says, "I am a photographer with an unhealthy obsession for vintage signage. I love old neon, large light blubs, crazy arrows and signs with drama and flair. Signs with personality speak to me. It's like they call my name." Did I mention that she has two other shops on Etsy with photography in them?<br />

Kudos to her, combining love of all things retro with gorgeous skills. I feel like I'm driving on Route 66, even though it seems I'll never get there. Step back in time in her shop and browse around, the experience is next to none. There's nothing like a lovely art print to swag up your home, or professional photo to hang in hubby's office. It really can set off a room and give that vintage swag vibe. Do you know what's better ? You are owning a piece of history, for <span class="status"><b><i>many of these places will someday cease to exist. </i></b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Ira Mency says, "Vintage porcelain glove molds are an important part of industrial machine age history. Many people opt for the bright write and shiny, but my pick is something that shows evidence of it's former life. I found one guy who moved into an old glove mold factory, and he was busting them up for crush and run. Soon I was getting a truckload delivered, hoping that they find their way into people's homes who will love them as much as I did."</span><br />
