Vintage furniture brings its story and character to your home, your space instantly becomes unique, that’s why integrating a vintage furniture piece or two into even ultra-modern interiors got so popular. A vintage file cabinet, apothecary or card cabinet can be one of such items that will instantly change your interior making it a bit more vintage, refined and beautiful. Let’s take a look how to use it in your home.
How To Renovate A Vintage Apothecary Cabinet?
You can paint or stain it however you want, the main idea is to match your existing interior. You can also hack your piece and incorporate some open shelving inside it – for linens, plates and dishes and other stuff, this is a great idea for kitchens and dining rooms. Adding casters will make it more mobile and adding tall legs (maybe hairpin ones?) will give it a more modern feel.
Entryway Console Tables
A console table is a must for most entryways, except for, perhaps, the tiniest ones. It’s a piece where you put your keys, some decor, photos and maybe something else inside it, and a vintage apothecary or card cabinet is a great alternative to such a table. It provides you with a lot of storage space, you can use its surface for storage, too, and it will bring that vintage chic to your entryway – perfect at every point of view!
