The New Necessities with Susanna Salk

Ever walk into a room that has both style and history? There's something about cherished pieces that have been handed down through the decades—they give timeless character to everything around them. But what if you're not lucky enough to have an Auntie Mame to will you all her fantastic treasures? Or what if the treasures you do inherit are too musty to join your more modern stuff? I looked high and low for pieces that have all the appeal of those beloved designs—but without the mothballs. The good news is that heirloom style is just a click away! You can find gorgeous pieces to suit your budget that have all the panache of the past and none of the wrinkles.
