Vintage Living by Bob Richter

Bob Richter has been thrifting and collecting vintage treasures for more than forty years, since the age of six. With a true passion for antiques, or any object with a past and a story, Richter speaks to our desire to surround ourselves with belongings that impart beauty and meaning to our lives. Drawing on his years of experience as a stylist and interior designer, Richter takes us through a trove of beautiful historic homes, illustrating how to live stylishly with our vintage finds and collections (hint: buy what you love, express yourself, and don t be afraid to mix periods!). A celebration of the art of thrifting and decorating with antiques of every era, Vintage Living is a full-service guide to treasure hunting, from flea markets, antique shows, and estate sales to country auctions, yard sales and the on-line marketplace. Richter also imparts hard-won practical tips, such as how best to negotiate and haggle. With chapters on vintage entertaining and cooking; vintage holiday decor for all seasons (including Valentine s Day, Easter, and Halloween among others); giving vintage gifts; embracing vintage ways (write letters, repurpose and recycle); and caring for your old treasures, this bible of vintage living will inspire you to take a personal and creative approach to your decor.
"While Richter gives a lot of credit of his ample antiques knowledge to an antiques dealer named Sunny, as one peruses the book, it is hard not to gather that a large part of his incredible hand has to do with a natural inclination towards creating beautiful homes that feel loved and lived inFrom rural retreats to modern barns, each home depicted on the pages of Vintage Living embodies a warmth that is hard to ignore." —DOWNTOWN MAGAZINE
