Top Ten Reasons to Go Vintage:

10. You’ll be able to create a truly unique look! Antique and vintage pieces are often unique and hard to find.

9. Your grandmother will feel like she’s among old friends when she visits - and she’ll think you have good taste, too!

8. You’ll own much higher quality furniture! These pieces pre-date particle board, MDF, and other manufactured “woods”. You will truly find that “they just don’t make ‘em like they used to”!

7. Scratches, chips, or marring help tell the story of a piece, and take the pressure off of you, your kids, and your pets to keep it in ‘perfect’ condition.

6. You’ll save lots of money - Vintage furniture is much less expensive than new furniture!

5. Furniture that has been around for 50+ years will still be around in another 50, giving you pieces you’ll be able pass on to people you love!

4. The patina on real wood furniture – mahogany, walnut, maple – grows more beautiful with age.

3. If you’re just starting out, your friends will all envy the fact that your home looks like a real "grown up’s home” – you’ll have no more decorating with dorm room cast-offs or pieces from your "early borrowed" period.

2. Vintage furniture is timeless! It will never go out of style. Even if you tire of it, there will always be someone else who would like to own it, so it has real resell value.

And the number 1 reason to buy vintage furniture:

1. It’s the ‘green’ way to go! For every piece of vintage furniture you buy, there’s one less piece being manufactured – no trees are sacrificed, no pollutants are generated from finishing chemicals or products, and no old piece ends up in a landfill.
