Antiquing - Tips for Finding Treasure - Part II with Rajiv Surendra

Video Description

ANTIQUING Part TWO! Antiquing...thrifting...treasure-hunting; Rajiv takes this activity very seriously, having objects in his life that are beautiful, useful and also meaningful all at the same time. Rajiv's home is made up of a mix of both new and old things — furniture, tools, utensils and linens that have been carefully acquired over the years. These objects were often made with pride, care and attention to form, giving them timeless beauty. Sifting through antiques—or junk—can be overwhelming if you're not accustomed to the process, but today Rajiv shares the approach to his favorite leisure activity when he's out of town. 🔴 RECOMMENDED VIDEOS/PLAYLISTS 🎥 VIDEO: My Updated Apartment Tour: https://youtu.be/cwurWeffwNA 🎥 VIDEO: MY NYTimes Storage Organization Tour: https://youtu.be/XmYKT21Oi54 🎥 VIDEO: Tidying Your Mind: https://youtu.be/2-cyLX2eAn0 🎥 VIDEO: How to Wash your Whites: https://youtu.be/R87SIgGC20k 🎥 VIDEO: Wrapping Gifts Using No Tape: https://youtu.be/vm3dR4jhImU 🎥 VIDEO: How To Walk In Public: https://youtu.be/J8ekcTmj9SI 🎥 LIST: Rajiv Surendra's Playlist Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8oeCSojnMR42JWN44vX_hmJ0xCF1ZLG- Visit my shop: https://www.rajivsurendra.com/pages/shop ★ TABLE OF CONTENTS ★ - 0:00 | Introduction: Traveling and Antique Malls - 0:24 | Indiana Antique Mall Adventure - 0:29 | The Thrill of the Unknown - 0:48 | Curating My Apartment Over Time - 1:01 | Old Furniture and Dishes - 1:11 | Finding Old Things for Everyday Use - 1:25 | Mass Manufactured vs Found Treasures - 1:43 | Vintage Linens Section - 1:51 | I Use Actual Linen Napkins - 2:04 | They Get Washed and Ironed - 2:09 | They're Cheap to Find Here - 2:22 | Just Find More - 2:32 | Finding White Linen - 2:39 | Beautiful Old Linen Towel - 2:56 | How Much Is It?
