Vintage style decorating uses items from the past to create a warm, nostalgic look. Today's vintage style is not just a country look, with antiques and chintz fabric. You can recreate this look with thrift store finds painted with distressed finishes, in displaying collections, and by using romantic fabrics. Also, white as a backdrop for your canvas is suggested: it will make the colors of your vintage finds pop!

Globally, as the 21st Century faces an uncertain future with dwindling natural resources, warming ocean temperatures, and melting polar ice caps, buying antique and vintage items resolves several issues:
(1) preserves exquisitely hand-wrought treasures of the past for future generations
(2) offers a less expensive alternative to mass-produced and cheaply made items of today
(3) salvages excess waste from being dumped in landfills.
