What are your opinions on people who "shabby chic" perfectly good old wood furniture? (Directed to Sebastian I suppose). I know some pieces can brought back because it's real wood, but I just cringe when I see it, and it's very popular where I live. Thanks!

Where should one start off when interested in antiques? Is it best to take courses, read specific books, watch programs, or just pick it up as you go along?

How did you get started in your line of work? Thanks for doing this ama!

Thanks to all!

I wrote up a few questions to ask so you'll see a few from me. Hope that's okay! Why do you think that teak furniture has suddenly gained so much popularity recently? People are going teak crazy here. Thanks!
