Hiding Wealth Behind Wear and Tear

By Helen Kirwan-Taylor

"Interior designers now routinely comb antique stores for purchases
that look industrial and about to fall over. Sites such as Modern 50 in the U.S.,
devoted to "non-linear," decorative and reclaimed 20th-century goods, sell old
oil barrels and much sought-after old display cabinets (usually covered in dust)
to add a rough feel to any existing luxe." Visit the Modern50 Website.
