OUR STORY & PHILOSOPHY
My Vision
I only buy what I love!
My inspiration is, to buy items that ‘touch’ me and give me that warm glow inside and from which I have the feeling that they can be brought back to life by restoration. Most of these items ‘live’ in our house for a while so we can enjoy them too. Saying goodbye to them is, therefore, not always easy. However, when I hear my buyers say that they like my items very much, that makes it all worthwhile for me.
Who am I
I am Anne-Marie, happily married to Ruud, and have a (student) son who still lives at home. My background is in Management, mainly in HR and Sales. My hobby, for as long as I can remember, has been buying 2nd hand goods. In addition to this hobby, which has now got quite out of hand, I also give management advice.
The Team
Although I do all the purchasing and selling myself, when it comes to the restoration part, sometimes an extra hand is required. My husband is then happy to help with the tasks. When items need to be collected for purchasing, he sometimes comes along just for the ride, but at the same time also helps decide during the buying process whether the purchase is still ‘fit’ for renovation. Together we form a great team, and from this teamwork arise the most beautifully restored items!
