What is a vintage look and feel
You can create an instant feeling of ambiance by going vintage. Vintage items have a certain color / design / quality look over them that is hard to describe. It is the opposite of futuristic, which can be described as cold, shiny, smooth, distant, where vintage stuff mostly attracts you to touch it, to find out what is made for and made off. It feels / looks familiar and the design tells a lot about what it is used for. The picture below is showing an area where it is quite clear what it is all about ( picture lend from www.vintageinn.wordpress.com.

I mean…what are you supposed to wear exactly? Better keep it simple, straight up (or mixed in a cocktail) and vintage.
How to create the vintage ambiance then?
Easy. Just get some stuff with a clear purpose. When you want to make a cocktail, choose the right bar tools.
