Summary

In this episode we discuss those special hard to find pieces, which will be exactly what you need for your style. We love vintage decor because it can bring an original point of view to your space, if you are using it right. Sue tells how she got into vintage shopping and finding heirloom pieces she could use in her own life and offers a word of caution as well. When you find a piece you love, it should feel like you can't snatch it fast enough. If you don't feel that way, it isn't worth taking. We love vintage lighting and is one of the easier pieces to find and use. Think about ways to repurpose your heirloom pieces to give them new life and pair it with something modern for balance. https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5 @214modern 3:33 How Sue incorporates this into her home 5:33 Should you reupholster your furniture? 9:38 Oly Studio 18:19 Client story 21:18 Avoid making it look like a garage sale 29:09 Vincent Wolfe 32:43 “She 100% loves it and I want to say when they were first married they bought this chair and so it was that she felt she wanted to have as part of this story book that was their home.
