I’ve always enjoyed old objects with a bit of history behind them — especially furniture, decorative pieces, and those strange finds that make you want to know who made them and where they came from.

I love learning from people who know far more than I do, discovering overlooked details, and occasionally falling down a very deep antiques rabbit hole.

Vintage furniture is a particular weakness of mine, and I also spend time around PatinaHall, where we collect stories and information about interesting designs and makers.
