For some reason, I've always been a fan of old things. Not just any ordinary stuff but the ones that are really lovely and one that has a story behind it, it makes everything old and unique all together.
Growing up, I would see my mother bring home old jars or any intricate antique piece from her friend's house or some bought from local vendors. I would look at it and for some reason always appreciating how lovely those things were. Thinking, maybe my love for vintage teapots would all go beyond those influences of always seeing antiques from my mother, her sisters and even my grandmother.
I am getting married in less than 2 months now and hopefully in God's perfect time would be getting a house to call our own. I don't know if I will fill my house with lots of this old and lovely things. Maybe I will, maybe I won't.
On a recent trip to the City of Smiles - Bacolod City, I was indeed lucky to go and visit some beautiful homes with old things dating to early 1900's. I cannot imagine how precious the things that still remain in their houses after all these years. The heirs of the respective families must be so proud.
This is the staircase of the Gaston House in Silay. It leads to further 2 more staircases which is designed one for the females and one for the male. I love the shade of blue on the walls, it makes the place more vintage.
Oh how I love to see curtains tied on the side of walls or doors. It is simply pretty.
I love how they placed all this things together. The mirror looks so regal and classic.
Found this very old typewriter at the Museum.
Very old and pretty coffee tins. I wonder where these came from. From the looks of it, I could trace it back to any European country. I wonder if it was good coffee?
And old Telephone. They say, it still works up to now. I remember having a vintage telephone in our old house before. I will try to look for it and maybe do another post all about it.
This was taken at the Museum as well. Oh how I love the setting of this room. It reminds me of the home of one blogger that I constantly follow.
An old Tea Set. Not my type. But it looks very well kept and preserved.
I love how they put all the old frames together in this little piano. The doily looks so clean and fresh.
This particular room was a Library. I am amazed how much books the owner has. He or she must be an avid reader. O
