Nothing like a hula girl to show off your
expensive tastes. It’s the top 10 house decor
pinups!
Sometimes you
just want to show off how much class you’ve
got. No better way to do it than a half-naked
lady as a conversation piece 
So, in honor of all my
fellow cheese lovers, I’ve piled up some
lovely, retro decor pieces.
#10 Vintage Tin Signs
Nothing says
“class” like a tin sign. Personally, I prefer
my tin signs with vintage pinup images.
That’s where
Jack
and Friends come in. It’s a lovely
world of vintage and retro home decor
gifts, and there’s an extensive
collection of classic cheesecake tin
signs. Some Elvgren, some Driben, some
Bolles and a few anonymous beauties as
well.
#9 Pinup Housewares at CafePress
Not
only does CafePress have a pinup for every
occasion (like my own wondrous creations), it
also has a pinup on tons of classy
housewares, you can flaunt. From wall clocks,
to mugs, to mouse pads and other little
details that’ll add that vintage flair to
your retro pad.
#8 Decorative Pinup Plate Collection
Decorative plates are a silly thing- it’s a
plate to be looked at, but not used. A few
centuries back, decorative plates were there
to show off how rich you were. You’re so
rich, you have plates to eat from
and plates to look at! And
look how lovely my “look at” plates are! So
in that decadent tradition, I give you the
Hula Pinup Girl Ceramic Plate:
#7 Practical Retro Dishes
After you showed off
your snazzy decor plates, people might
actually be interested in using your
dishes to get something in their mouths.
May I suggest practical retro dishes!
There’s quite an astonishing array of
retro print cups and mugs, online, that
you can wow your guests with. And just
so they won’t stain your vintage
furniture, try a retro coaster to go
with it.
#6 Sin in Linen
Sin in Linen is more of a neo retro project,
where you can find all those fantastic hot
rod and tattoo prints. But without a doubt,
my favorite prints are the ones with the
actual pinups. The beauty of pinup linen is
that it can cover your whole furniture and
really make a significant change in the look
of your house. But if you’re not interested
in such a drastic transformation Sin in Linen
has small items, to give your apartment a
sexy boost, such as hand towels and throw
pillows.
#5 Cover Girl Light Switch Covers
Another subtle touch you can add to your
walls is the light switch covers. You can go
for the classic pinup, but I also found this
delightfully diverse collection of pulp
covers, with bad girls, gay beefcake and
aliens.
#4 Bettie Page Accessories
No pinup collection would be complete without
the voluptuous Bettie Page. On the
Get
Your Bettie Gear! page of
Bonnie J.
Burton’s fun site,
Grrl, you can find
personal Page items, such as lunch boxes
and notebooks, but also fun home decor
and hosting items, like the Bettie Page
Red Tiger Candle Tin, the Bettie Page
Poker Set, the Bettie Page Bikini
Ornament, and the ever-perplexing Bettie
Page Mini Bust Statue. Definitely a
conversation starter:
-
Your mum: “What the
fuck is the matter with you,
boy?!”
- You: “Oww! Mom! Not the lobe!”
#3 Hula Girl Lamp
It seems that the
Hula Girl is a precious home decor
commodity. After all, who wouldn’t want
a half naked woman shaking her hulas in
the living room? I like this specific
lamp for 2 reasons:
- I think the statue piece is very
impressive.
- The skirt isn’t part of the statue, so
it’s only a matter of time when guests will
start wondering, what this little lovely
has underneath.
#2 Curvaceous Metallic Silhouettes for
the Flashy Hot Rodder
More practical pinup pieces for the
household. This time- the garage. If you like
to keep your tools nice, neat and handy, this
is an interesting solution. The metallic
silhouettes keep the design more masculine,
so men who are looking to spruce their work
space, don’t have to worry about their girly
art getting too girly.
#1 Hot Rod Furniture at Jake’s Chop
Shop
Finally, if little touches of cheese are not
enough, if covering your furniture with pinup
duvet covers isn’t enough, if a Bettie Page
mini bust sculpture just isn’t enough, then
you might want to head on out to
Jake’s Chop
Shop. Jake specializes in
irresistible custom made furniture, made
of cars and other heavy duty scraps.
Combine the rough work, with fine paint
jobs and you got a retro piece that’s
incomparable to anything anyone has ever
seen.
Remember folks- it’s all about good house
keeping
