Atelier: Vintage Finds
One of the latest additions to Mary Rose Collection is the Atelier, the chippy back room you’ll discover downstairs. We chipped just enough plaster off the brick walls and columns and scraped just enough peeling paint to provide a backdrop for some of our latest finds. If your favorite antique shops give you a chance to dig through the piles, this is your opportunity. The Atelier, French for workshop, is a work in progress with furniture being painted as we speak.
“At Mary Rose, filling a home is about honoring craftsmanship and honing one’s sense for what type of place best allows you to thrive, relax, be inspired, and enjoy life’s blessings. Repurpose, reuse, reconstruct, recycle . . . these are words that a new generation recognizes, but the movement has roots in antiques. It just feels good to sit in an old rocking chair and rock at the pace that people have been rocking for decades—the one pace that the chair seems to know. It is more than just the beauty of handcrafted solid wood. It is honoring the time and patience that first went into making the chair and then into preserving it. Giving it its proper place in the living room is justice. It feels good to reuse. It feels good to make do. It feels good to use up.” ~Kate Errthum, Mary Rose’s daughter
