This seems to be one question that 6 out of 10 people ask me when they see my pieces. Initially this question would irritate me but now I have softened down. In a way it is. But it also depends on who is asking the question. If it is someone who asks this with the hope to furnish their home with some used furniture at throw away prices, then restored furniture is not the answer.
I believe that old wood has a history to tell and adds a certain mystery to a space. The kind of workmanship that was there then, is a rarity to find these days. You can take a look at www.somethingoldsomethingnew.in to see some of the pieces we have.

About Something Old, Something New...
The feeling that one gets when one sees a piece of furniture which is made of wood of the yesteryears..the story that each antique piece has to tell, gives some people like me, goosebumps...The times that this piece might have witnessed makes me look at it with a different eye...This piece makes me want to treasure it and pass it on to the next generation....
Something Old Something New has a collection of such pieces. Here are some samples of what I have at my store...

My love for all things rustic....
A techie to a 'freelance furniture consultant' isn't what I really planned for myself..It just flowed from one to the other, surprisingly with reasonable ease..
A treasured dream of dear dad who wanted to get the rustic of his homeland, Kerala into Bangalore..This dream combined with a few years spent with a dear friend, who is as creative as they come when it comes to interiors, according to me atleast....Made me realise that furniture and handicrafts is something I will really enjoy doing..
And so I packed and headed southbound..Towards Kerala and Tamil Nadu...The gorgeous Chettinad homes were something I could easily fall in love with...Surer than ever, my sister motivating me by my side, we packed up a couple of truckloads and headed back...
A stone house tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city caught my attention...This was it..This was where 'Something Old Something New' was going to be !!
