Family Antiques

What do you do with family antiques that just don't fit your style anymore? Or maybe they never fit your style, but guilt has forced you to use them in your home.

I have a walnut love seat from the Victorian period. It belonged to my great-grandmother, and it is truly beautiful. Carved lion's heads and all that. I just don't like Victorian furniture. Every living sole in my family would have a fit if I said I was getting rid of it. Yet, none of them will take it.

It's been in my living room forever. Now it lives in my attic. Just not in my decorating future.

What should I do?
