So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Beauty Of Having Vintages At Home Like Antique Trunks

By Juana Buchanan


If you are one who likes classic designs or materials, or you just want to have things that will last long, then you might have the likes for antiques. Having materials from the past is a good thing. It will be of much use to you. Aside from being decorative elements they also function as very helpful furniture and apparatus in the house.

If you are looking for a sturdy drawer to keep your clothes or other paraphernalia, there would be a perfect choice. An Antique Trunks would be perfect. There are not so many people who at first thought would purchase a vintage box, but you will find it economical to have one. Aside from that, you will also have a classic touch in your home.

During the old times, these trunks are used as a storage or as a luggage. It is because their firm material and their standard construction is best suited for storing clothes and other pesonal items. However, this time they can already serve multiple purposes. Aside from that, they also give a touch of classic to your home.

If you are a fan of classic movies, then you have seen this object a lot of times already. They are often portrayed as a box containing treasures like jewelries, pearl, and gold in a pirate vessel. This is the reason why they have been named a pirate chest. They also come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but the most common is a a wooden box with either a flat top or a dome top. They also appear very stylish and overly decorated outside.

But in order to consider a material antique, it must have at least lived a hundred years or more without getting distorted. Speaking of that, they are really tough enough to have endured for such a long time without being devoid of its original structure, and you can say that one is a true vintage if it has witnessed history. That means that they have served travelers on carriage or seagoing journeys and have been passed from one country to another.

Buying or having antiques in your home also means that you are in for a good inventory. There are quite a number of good reasons why. Now here are some. First and foremost is that they tell a story. These materials are actually relics from the old times. They remind you of the long gone customs, traditions, and story of the past. Also, if you inherited them from your ancestors, they serve as a link to your heritage.

Aside from that, they are eco friendly since they are made from nature. Things from the past are also standard. They are truly excellently constructed. To endure being of use to different individuals in different places and conditions without getting destroyed is way beyond what an equipment made from today can do.

Although they may not be that trendy, they actually provide a good contrast with the modern apparatus. Having them as home decors will produce a more artful result. If you have modern century style house, a touch of a few vintages would create a monochromatic harmony that is truly amazing.

Another thing is that vintages do not decrease their value. It is only either maintained it or increased from time to time. This is why they are said to be a good investment.
