If you're new to collecting + decorating with vintage and not sure how to dip your toe in the water then I invite you to buy a stack of old, vintage books. A simple stack of books with a ton of character can add so much depth, charm + richness to your space so quickly. On a nightstand, coffee table or bookshelf, you can organize by color, theme or nothing at all quite frankly and make a cozy little statement. On our site you can purchase these by color and they've been really selling like hotcakes the past two weeks so I can't wait to see what you guys are doing with all of them in your own spaces.
