RE: Not old, just antique

in Galenkp's Stuff10 months ago

Yes, I love old things! I don't know about cars, but for example antique and quality furniture, made of solid wood, those old and strong ones, I love them.

Just here, people are very fond of that... and they buy furniture from Ikea .... disposable furniture that I don't like at all.

About 4 years ago my brother found one of those old tables and that's exactly where I am now and I found a set of 6 chairs, strong, that although I found them separately, they match the table, I'll take them back and here I am!

Sort:  

It's nice to bring something back from the graveyard so to speak and give it a new life. I have a few items around my that I have done that with, either myself or have had done, and I treasure them. My grandfather's silver pocket watch from the late 1800's is one such item.

Those watches are beautiful!

If I told you that I furnish almost my entire flat with furniture that people leave behind? I looked for quality antique furniture, display cabinets, furniture with drawers, lamps, everything!

I did a post on it a while back with a heap of photos, you might have missed that one.

Well done on giving that furniture a new life!

The one with the watches? Of course I didn't miss it, not a single one! hahaha

Long live antique furniture! I've even found paintings and complete libraries, can you believe it?

Nooo, I didn't miss it, I'm there🤣 it's beautiful! a relic. I love those things, how beautiful!😍

Ah ok, it was a long time ago so I wasn't sure.
