I have always been in love with interior design and always researched for that future moment when I would move into my "dream house". When I walk into a house, restaurant or bar the furniture is one of the first things I look at. I decided to stop waiting for my dream house when I stumbled upon Mercatino Penelope. My love for vintage took over and I fell in love with their coffee tables from the 1950s, old suitcases and vintage sofas.
Imagine a big open space where everything from sofas, tables, mirrors, tea sets and vintage bags all blend into a wonderful mesmerizing unit. This is a beautiful mess where I can spend hours discovering every little hidden item. You need to come here if you are redecorating your apartment, need furniture for your bar or restaurant or just want to discover a wonderful spot full or magical treasures.
The staff is friendly and nice and they try to help you with all your special requests. I personally bought a wonderful table from the 1950s that I absolutely love! As all items are unique so are the prices. It depends on the piece and the rare factor behind it. On a happy note, they often put items that have been on display for a while on sale!
