One of our contributors told us why they love the idea of decorating kitchens with antiques.
For me it’s about being able to integrate the traditions from the past, and then mixing them in with current trends. Most of my antique pieces are ones that have been passed down within my own family. It brings me a sense of connection to the past generations of my ancestors. It is fun to imagine how a particular piece might have been displayed in their kitchens.
