From Lola...

My grandmother has a knack for antiques. Although she has some pieces that I can live without, there are also some that I absolutely adore! Like her antique dial telephones! Since she already has 4 and her house is pretty stuffed, sometimes I drop a hint or two for one of those phones. Imagine how pleasantly surprised I was when she called a few days ago to tell me that she sent one of her pieces to my apartment. Here's it is:

Beautiful! One person's trash can definitely be another's treasure. I strongly recommend for everyone to look around their grandparent's homes for some vintage goodies. (With permission of course!) You're bound to find something that they've forgotten in the bodega ages ago. Or something that's just sitting in the corner gathering dust, long forgotten. It can be a chair, a table, a vase, a trunk, a figurine, some books, frames, old Coca-Cola bottles, etc... 

Unique vintage pieces instantly add character to any place. And they make for great conversation starters! Enjoy the hunt!
