The Collected Home

Can you pass up a beautiful antique? I cannot, and I blame my grandmother for it, really. She was an antiques dealer and had a restoration shop for a good number of years and I grew up by her side, visiting grand houses in my hometown, looking at and buying interesting old furniture. I think it’s those happy memories that have shaped my love for antiques. I get a visceral reaction whenever I see a beautiful piece, it feels like falling in love…  Over the years, especially since moving to New England, I’ve fallen in love one too many times, and I now have quite a collection of old pieces and beautiful items that I sadly have no place for in our tiny home. The way I figured I had two options- store them in our basement and let them wither and decay, just because I love them and cannot part with them easily; or set them free and let these pieces bring someone else joy, and make someone else’s home beautiful. I chose the latter. I created a Chairish account where I now list my darling pieces one by one. I’m not a professional seller, I’m just a girl who can’t pass up a good antique and I think it’s time to face the music. 

I call it The Collected Home Shop because it reflects the type of home I love and want for myself – layered and rich in detail, collections, color and patina. 

If you’re interested in our selection of antiques and vintage furniture, and one-of-a-kind decor, handpicked by me for my own home and sourced in New England, you can check us out on Instagram @thecollectedhomeshop and on Chairish here. I’m new to this whole process of selling on Chairish but hopefully we’ll get the hang of it together.

Thanks for stopping by, I wish you a lovely weekend! Hope is in the air, isn’t it?
