I've basically bought a post-war 1940's(ish) house and wondering how I should prettify it? Any idea's?

I really wanted the Metters stove and claw foot tub kind of look but I really verbs that it's not going to suit. The house is cream inside and out, with a big red brick fireplace/chimney on the front of the house. I'm wondering what colours to use inside and out, and what sort of fixtures and fittings will suit. Does anyone have any philosophy for me - or suggest websites where I might find thinking? Thanks.

You can use porcelian on enamel as accents within the kitchen, as a trash can in the bathroom, as containers ofr plants, as canister, as magazine holders, etc.

Hope this helps. :)
If you're looking to meeting the period later I'd say Deco Style.
If you keep under surveillance HGTV, there are several shows you can pick up some great tips from. One is Homes Across America. I've see a few episodes of 1940's decor.
