Aphiwe MtwakuMy gran was a woman of class, taste and style. Her pride and joy were her vintage display cabinets which to this day house her most precious glass homeware.
A trip to my grandmother’s house has left me with a feeling of nostalgia for vintage furniture.
Vintage or fast-fashion
What makes this item vintage is its long-standing reputation as a statement piece that just doesn’t fade and, instead, gets better with time.
There is a sense of nostalgia for the home I grew up in, just in its simplicity and timeless decor.
Do you have these vintage cabinets in your home?
A vintage cabinet has certainly become the statement piece of any dining room/lounge area. It stands out as the ultimate piece for displaying china, serving plates and glassware.
Not only do they provide space for storage, but they also add class to the interior decor of your dining area.
