Going Rogue

Oops is that title already taken??? Wanted to get your attention; we’re talking “not your Grandmothers” antiques this week. One definition of rogue states “operating outside of normal or necessary controls” and how perfect for discussing shopping for antiques!

We have such fun finding our antiques and wanted to share some of our rare finds. Our choices are just the thing for today’s less defined decorating taste. Whether you envision adding a touch of dignity or perhaps you are looking for things to be a little off-kilter; we have the look. The lantern below is just one of the many antique lighting selections you can view on our website.
