The Many Wonders of Vintage
There are so many wonderful vintage treasures in the world! The word 'Vintage' covers virtually every object, from the exquisite to the every-day.
From the beautiful...
...the decorative...
...the practical...
and the whimsical!
Creating a Vintage Home is all about the feelings that old objects, even the every-day, evoke. With vintage, practical usually means beautiful too - who can deny the appeal of the wooden ironing board with its lovely old floral cover! Grouping together a variety of interesting vanity items makes a very pleasing display and antique or vintage textiles are perfect for giving a room a particular style and creating comfort. Why not keep a selection of pretty, mismatched crockery to hand on your kitchen table, ready for serving tea and cake to opportune guests who may call by. Surrounding yourself with beautiful art is a great way to inspire and revive the mind! The ways to use and display vintage items are endless - which ensures a constantly evolving, individual look to your home.
Some of these items are available from the Vintage Home Online Shop - and some have already been sold! We add a regular variety of vintage wonders to the shop every week - if an item you like has already been sold, let us know and we'll do what we can to find you something similar!
