DECORATING TIPS

Older pieces

Jennifer Williams of Crow Trading Co. shared some tips on decorating with vintage or antique pieces:

Decorate with pieces you love. Go with what you like and will work for your lifestyle.

Don’t be afraid to decorate in an eclectic style, mixing styles and ages of furniture. “A clean-lined red painted antique Chinese cabinet can look great with your great-grandmother’s Victorian chair.”

Families with children can incorporate antique furniture into their decor, too. “Some people think of antiques as being too fragile for an active family,” she said. “Many of the pieces we sell have been around for generations and have many years of use and enjoyment left.”
