Silver Lining: antiquing from around the world

antiquing from around the world

Or, as Neal Caffrey once said, they're antiquities, not antiques.

My grandparents' home is one of my favorite places. They travel the world, and my grandmother's passion is art, so when you're at their house, it's like "oh that's a cool print. OH it's a Degas??" or "oh that's a cool piece. OH a tzar gave that to you in Russia?" or "oh that's a cool photo wall. OH you took all of those as you traveled the world?"

I love their collection from literally around the world. What I love best is each piece is a story, a representation of part of their life together. One day it's my goal to be half as well-traveled and have a home half as beautiful as them.






 Whose homes do you draw inspiration from?
What pieces do you collect when traveling?
And can you get over that elephant carving??
