While this space isn't my personal style, I absolutely love the personality that it displays. And I too am a bit over the excessive MCM theme with no genuine vibe. I like Atomic Ranch as much as the next person, but a piece here or there is different than nothing but MCM with a dash of Ikea.

This space shows quirks, vitality and originality. I love it just for that.

My two cents on antique, vintage, retro... I just had this conversation this week.

I interpret antique being anything near ~80-100 years old. (1920s [maybe 1930s]and before).

Vintage is anything ~40-70 years old (1930s-1960s).

Retro applies to something older but recent. ~1970s/1980s now. It bothers me to hear 1990s as retro, but ok.
