hello Doily

I am a bit of a fan of vintage and love finding ways of incorporating a vintage look  into homes. One thing I'm an now itching to design is an interior with a a doily design feature, inspired after coming across this post at dos family where they've created an amazing doily lampshade.

I forgot how versatile, these once passe,  little things can be. These are  some of the amazing doily designs I have come across
