Love for Vintage

Hi guys, happy Sunday!


I'm having a lazy Sunday of surfing on the internet, looking for some interior inspiration. My latest obsession is vintage, I developed this opinion that I don't want to have the same living room as everyone else my age, I'm looking for a bit of character in my interior. So here are some inspirational images of gorgeous, one-of-a-kind pieces.

 I'm absolutely in love with these bright little tea cups, this is exactly what I need for my morning caffeine shot, instant happymaker! They also make the cutest decoration: Stack them on top of each other, put a candle in them or display them with fake cakes and macarons for that Marie-Antoinette atmosphere.

 Candle holders are my favourite decoration item to shop for, they have to be big and draw attention. I'm checking second-hand websites and antique markets, the goal is to collect unique, durable pieces that are timeless.

 I absolutely love crystal, it looks so royal and chic. The BF is a whiskey-lover so a few months ago we picked up a crystal jug in Antwerp, together with 6 glasses and now the hunt has started for wine glasses!

 As I said in the intro, we don't have a lot of furniture stores in the area, so everyone my age has the same type of couch, the same kind of living room furniture, dining table,... I never wanted a showroom living room, I want different coloured furniture with unique features that I can combine to a personalized set-up where I feel at home. From the moment we have the opportunity to move to a bigger space, I want to buy a chest of drawers second-hand and completely refurbish it the way I want to!

 Lastly... My big dream: My very own vanity table. I never had one and since I have my own place, the desire has only grown. But real, antique vanity tables are quite expensive, so I didn't get the chance to get one yet. It's not a necessity so I'd rather wait for the right match then buying an Ikea one that everyone has..Gorgeous table, mirror with an over-the-top frame and beautiful storage for all my make-up, everything's in my head already, I just have save up for a while :)

How do you feel about vintage items? Yay or nay? Let me know in the comments! Xoxo
