Anyway, in response mainly to Amy's comment on my check vinyl, here is the photo, from the early 1940s, that inspired it - not so much my choice of check, but its extensive use! Obviously in the photo it would have been lino rather than vinyl, but it's true to the spirit of it.
I'm not sure I could cope with all those photos and plates though, although I do seem to be moving towards a more traditional style of back cabin decor.
Thanks! What a lovely picture. I agree about lace-plates and other such ephemera - not really my thing. My hypothetical back cabin will be along the same lines as yours I think, with lots of nice enamelware etc.
