The items I purchased arrived very quickly thanks to the store owner who sent it express in order to have it arrive for Christmas. The Old Carpentry tools were exactly as advertised and as photos showed. I would have no hesitation in using this On-line store in the future.

Although I have more modern equipment now, I like to take my lovely old Singer out for a burl occasionally.
Many of the pieces I find are arranged in my home until they find a new one. It's sometimes hard to let them go.
I have very eclectic tastes, here is a photo of my dining room with some of the items I have collected over the years.
In my bedroom I like to mix it up with a little punk, industrial and romantic goth.
A table in my workroom with interesting things waiting to be listed.

The Stories we tell

Favouring personality over perfection I love rooms that tell stories about the people who live there, rather than reflect the trends of the season. The aim of About The Place is to provide you with an ever changing range of handmade and vintage pieces to add to your home to help tell your unique story and express your own individual style.

My home is an eclectic mix of things collected over many years, old and new from Mid Century Modern to Gypsy Bohemian. So with a passion for all things vintage, a Degree in Fine Arts and a Certificate in Fashion Technology I have combined these interests and skills to bring you this curated collection of treasures and handmade homewares.
