Samenvatting:

This stunning volume focuses on the qualities of the old things in our homes (the patina of an old table, pewter dulled by age, old floorboards that creak) and how to live with and incorporate them into our personal aesthetic. Lavishly illustrated with beautiful photographs that highlight the warm colours and rich textures of wood and paint, cloth and leather, 'For the Love of Old' also includes ideas and recipes for saving old items from the junk pile, preserving and caring for the old things you have, giving newer things a lived-in feel, and bringing an enduring personality to every home.
