My love of old things...much like my love of collecting things, I blame on my mother.



I love old furniture, old cars, old people, just do. They all have great stories and so much character.

I totally adore all the pretty old things in my mom's house. We have very different tastes in old things, but we both love them. She likes older flowery-er things...while I'm a fan of the 40s-50s-60s retro-kitchy stuff. I love my mother's taste and decorating style, it all looks wonderful in her house...that being said, my house will never look like hers.

I prefer things like aluminum Christmas trees, vintage cameras, key-wound robot toys, and bold colors and patterns to the softer colors and dainty patterns of my mother's collectibles. I do, however, have the beginnings of a collection of pretty, pink, flowery, glassware... :) so we will eventually see which side of the fence I end up on.
