Buying antiques with your heart or with your brain
When shopping for antiques remember never to buy something that you don’t like, but never just because you like it.
If it looks like a good deal, if it’s practical, if it’s gorgeous or you feel bad not buying it, these are all good reasons for not buying an antique if at the same time you don’t truly like it.
And the same if you don’t have the room, if it’s too expensive for your pockets, if it doesn’t serve any purpose, then don’t buy it either.
If you buy it anyway, there’s a chance that you will get tired of it and regret the purchase.
So, you should buy with both your heart and your brain; buy something you like, that you can afford, that serves a practical purpose, that beautifies your home.
