Is it retro, vintage or antique?

Well just read too late, so my retro cookie jar is vintage ;-) or should I just call it old,

@Millieballon nice drum, I know! Did my grandma have, too. Yes, the word retro, vintage is a bit mixed up. Old can certainly! If it's from before 1920, but it's not, it would have been an antique.

So antiques are over 100 years old. I didn't know that one yet. Thanks, nice post!

@Encaustichris Yep! Thankyou!

good explanation. My daughter-in-law calls everything brocante and scours markets and mp. My son calls it old crap. After reading your blog, I now call her stuff vintage.

@marijke thank you! Yeah, nice how these differences are and I get it. It's easy to say retro or vintage or brocante. Especially when it's mentioned everywhere.

Good then hahaha, I just arrived with my retro snaps. I think a lot of people on the internet would have to adjust that. I see it as an old-fashioned interior, from the 60s and 70s, so leave it - stubborn -. Great if it is given a new look, because I like a lot of this. Including retro wallpaper.

@Ingrid Tips en meer yes, leave it nice of course! A lot is happening, indeed. Because retro mainly refers to stuff from the 60s and 70s and those were all those nice kitchen utensils with orange colored, for example, and retro wallpaper with those prints.
