17 // How to mix old and new part 1- The art of marrying vintage or antique furniture with a twenty-first century design aesthetic

Can you mix old furniture with the style of today in a way that doesn't mimic the look of Grandma's house from back in the day?

 

The cliff notes answer: YES. Yes you can. You just need to know all the secrets. 

 

Before we can learn how to style or incorporate vintage or antique furniture into a modern home, we first need to identify if it's a piece worth working with. What is it's potential? Is it perfect the way it is or is having it in your home bringing you down? Do you feel attachment to it in an unhealthy way and how can we break that attachment? What happens if the piece isn't perfect? Can it be saved or modified?

 

So many questions. So many answers. And this is only PART ONE!
