Summary

This week on the show we are looking at how to blend old pieces of furniture or objects within a more contemporary interior. #GrannyCore may be all the rage on Tik Tok but for those of us on the other side of 30 (possibly even 40) it’s a little too close to be ironic. You might have inherited some furniture from your actual Granny. You might have bought antiques from someone else’s Granny and there’s an art to blending antiques and second- hand pieces that doesn't look too “junk shop”.
