The Advantages of Decorating Your Home with Vintage Collectibles, Antique and Primitive Items:
You can spend as much or as little as you'd like, to achieve the look you want, depending on what your style, budget and tastes are like.
The best thing about decorating with Vintage Collectibles & Antique items is that when you get tired of the item you can always replace it with something else. Then resell the item you no longer want (on EBay) and sometimes for more than what you originally paid for it!
If you're a person like myself that tires of the same old look year in and year out and wants your home to have personality or to look like one of those "County Magazines" with a little mix of the modern convieniences, Well you can!
Decorating with Vintage Collectibles & Antiques allows you to be creative. There really are no "do's or don'ts" you can mix and match however you choose.
Start by choosing a theme or several themes (one for each room in your home). Look through old magazines or the country magazines to get ideas of items from the Era you're interested in . Let's say for example:
1.) 1950's Kitchen
2.) Victorian Master Bedroom
3.) Country Livingroom
4.) 1900's style Bathroom
5.) Primitive room
6.) You can also blend themes creating a unique look of your own. The possibilities and ideas are endless!
Once you choose your theme, have fun finding the items you're looking for. Great places to look for and find the items you want are EBay, Flea Markets and Garage Sales!
