Thanks Kev,
That makes a lot of sense, but unfortunately I've found the retro thing doesn't work our small rural town location, with old stone cottages, barn conversions and the Dartmoor landscape, but I've used the moulding around Great Western Railway stuff as it's the same colour as the carriages, but there's not that much call for that either.
Thinking about it, you might have given me a good idea! There is a bookshop in the town which has published a book about the old and long gone GWR branch line which once went through the town and there's a lot of old photos in the book. I think I might see if they would like some framed to sell in their shop, which is in a busier location than ours. Who knows, it might be a good move!
As you may have guessed, I'm busy trying to cut down my mouldings stock and lots have been given the elbow already. Mostly narrow or boring stuff, but over the years this stuff keeps getting a second chance.
I've tried it around mirrors without success and I keep saying I might try a tall and thin six sided mirror with a pointed top and bottom to try and underline the art-deco theme. It would need to be with 90 degree corners top and bottom, with two 45 degree corners on each side, but it's a lot of fuss if it don't sell. Perhaps it's just time for the bin!
