Hollywood is calling! Let's hope these pillows spark a new trend in vintage-theater decor. Photo: Ballard Designs
Old Hollywood comes back to life in home accents.
When I was a kid, a ticket to my small-town movie theater cost $3 – and we'd sneak in our own snacks and soda because the tickets were "so expensive."
Ah, the good old days.
Perhaps it's this sort of nostalgia that inspired Ballard Designs' assortment of vintage theater-themed décor. I especially love their limited edition Hollywood pillows, so I scoured around for other vintage film paraphernalia -- and I found a few more items at one of my favorite kitschy midcentury-accessories stores, RetroPlanet.
Perhaps these products are a hint of a larger trend to come? I can only hope. But in the meantime, the following preview of products has been approved for all audiences by the Motion Picture Association of America. (OK, maybe not.)
