What do you do when you live in a modern house but yearn for vintage? You love the look of the old but need the technology of the modern day? Last week I bought this lovely little 1950s cabinet on EBay, declaring it 'something a little special' to friends. Of course it doesnt seem special at all until you sneak a peek inside....
Its a 1950s Decca Television - how cool! Of course since the digital switchover here in the UK there was no way this was actually going to recieve a signal (scart lead? hdmi socket? this thing has screws to adjust placement and a lever to twiddle for focus!!) So what should we do, leave it as a curio prop in our already over crowded lounge , maybe not!
Hubby took it out into the garden and had a fiddle, 20 minutes later , the kids were watching a Winnie the Pooh Movie on our new fifties styled HD Television!!!
That is so awesome! It's a great piece of furniture either way.

Thanks girls I'm ever so chuffed with it - not bad for an impulse buy!
