I saw this funky retro-inspired photograph when I was recently browsing on artist Mable Tan’s website Happee Monkee and instantly knew it would be perfect for my 50s, 60s & 70s interior design project (here’s my mood board). You may remember that I shared an interview with Mable Tan on my blog recently and this is the piece of artwork that I chose to include in my orange retro themed room:

I love the vintage wooden scrabble tiles and the pattern and colour is perfect. When it arrived it was exquisitely wrapped and was an even more beautiful piece of art than I’d expected when looking at it on the computer screen! I’m so glad I chose this piece, although now I’m hooked and I think that any of these pieces below would go perfectly with it! Now I just need to get myself the perfect teak frame before adding it to my retro decor. Check out Mable’s other artwork, including beautiful landscape & travel photography in her Etsy Shop.
