Iceboxes were large lined, insulated wooden cupboards built to store ice, food, and drinks. The ice would usually be placed on the upper shelf, with the food and drinks below, and the cool air from the melting ice would help to keep everything nice and chilled.

The Shakers embraced the concept of radical simplicity in everyday life, as well as mandatory celibacy, pacifism, and gender equality, which continue to resonate today.

"In many ways they've become part of the visual landscape of the vintage market, particularly online, where speed often replaces connoisseurship," says Rodrigo Fernández, director and cofounder of Diez Company.

The collection spans several categories in the home, featuring smart storage pieces like the electric lime Lacquer Entryway Storage Pillar and a crescent moon-shaped chair and ottoman set.

In the digital world that we're in, you know, negative videos are what goes viral. People are always knocking people down a peg and it's really easy to fall into that. If something bad happens-which, when you own your business, something bad happens every day- it's easy to circle in despair. But my challenge is to look for the positive and figure out how to pivot, and if something isn't working then figure out a different way to get it done.

"It has been estimated that one million five hundred thousand houses each year for a period of 10 years will be needed to relieve the urgent housing problem of this country. The enormity of such a need cannot even be partially satisfied by building techniques as we have known and used them in the past."

Lately we've noticed designers, artists, and even jewelers making their own collections of knobs, drawer pulls, and handles that are anything but an afterthought-they're a statement.

If you're on the hunt for the most comfortable sofa or a clutter-clearing closet organizer, you can always count on Apartment Therapy editors to dole out thoughtful recommendations (it's what we do!). But how often do you get a glimpse at our personal shopping habits? Covering the latest home, cleaning, storage, and lifestyle finds means we're bound to make discoveries for our own homes along the way.

First, you probably have to rewire the lamp. Unless the seller already did it for you, it's best to rewire any vintage finds so you know they've been safely updated. The process isn't that hard, but you will need to buy the supplies and spend the time to do it correctly.

One of those timeless items is the instantly recognizable federal-style convex mirror. These gilded mirrors have been adorning American dining rooms and foyers since the 1700s, when the centuries-old European style was given a uniquely American touch - an eagle sitting proudly on top. Looking to add a touch of American history to your home? Authentic federal-style mirrors dating back to the United States' earliest days are going to run you into the many-thousands of dollars, there are also reproductions that have been made for decades. Here's what you need to know about federal-style mirrors, how to source them, and how to style them in your own home (even if they're the only Americana piece you ever collect!).

As someone who loves vintage things, you can find me at my local thrift store regularly. I enjoy stocking my closet with secondhand finds and finding gifts or unexpected storage gems instead of buying them new. The thrill of the hunt is ultimately what keeps me going back time after time. Whether I have 10 minutes or an hour to peruse, flipping through clothing racks and scouring the shelves always brings me joy,

Picture this: you're knee-deep in renovation dust, crowbar in hand, when something unexpected tumbles from behind century-old plaster. A yellowed envelope? A strange metal box? That moment when your heart skips because you realize you might have just found something extraordinary. For some lucky homeowners, these discoveries turn out to be worth thousands of dollars, transforming a simple home improvement project into an unexpected treasure hunt.

Yes, that's right - the cabinetry with the warm, golden hue "with amber undertones," as Victoria Fioravanti, partner and creative director at Showcase Kitchens/Showcase Tile & Stone, describes it, has come back after spending many years as a dated kitchen feature that was painted over or completely replaced. These cabinets were a '90s phenomenon to the point that they made it into the kitchens of Full House and Home Improvement - and people (and homebuyers) are loving them again today. Here's why.

When clutter piles up, closets burst at the seams, and cords snake all over your desk, your home can quickly look - and feel - messy. Or maybe it's your tired furniture or flooring that needs some TLC. The good news is that you don't have to spend a ton on a renovation to fix these problem; in fact, sometimes the solution is surprisingly easy and affordable. And that's where this list comes in, with simple upgrades that help you take control of the things that are making your home look cheap.

An unfitted kitchen is made up of unattached appliances, furniture, and cabinetry to create a functional, working kitchen space without the use of built-ins.

There is a yearning for things that have emotion behind them and a story behind them, and sort of that little bit of whimsy and discovery that you find with vintage pieces,

How did a material conceived for bridges, factories, and large-scale structures make its way to the living room bench, the apartment bookshelf, the café table? For centuries, metal was associated with labor, machinery, and monumentality-from the exposed structures of 19th-century World's Fairs to the productive logic of modern industry. Its presence in domestic interiors is not self-evident but rather a cultural achievement: the transformation of an industrial material into an element of everyday, intimate use, in close proximity to the body.
