There's a phenomenon that happens when you start to love something: you start to become blind to it. You've probably heard of the phrase used when it comes to fashion or beauty trends: 'blush blindness', 'eyebrow blindness,' 'baggy blindness'. But what I am guilty of relates to my interiors – 'vintage blindness'.
I have become so obsessed with hunting through thrift shops and antique stores to find quirky pieces that will add character to my rooms, that I am not sure whether my love for decorating with vintage has gone too far. I brought home an old ceramic olive jar last week which, once in my home, gave more kitsch Grandma's kitchen than chic, rustic Mediterranean retreat.
