rotaryphone-smI adore mixing modern decor with antique treasures. So while perusing around Anthropologie yesterday evening, I thought the home décor gods where smiling down on me when I spotted this adorably quirky yellow vintage rotary phone. It would be the ideal addition to my bedroom: Perched on my night-table in my nearly all-white bedroom (with a few black accents), this would add a gorgeous pop of vibrant mod style. Who cares that I don’t even have a home phone line! My heart sank when I flipped over the phone and glanced at the price tag: $238. Wowzers!? If only I had kept my parent’s rotary phone from the early ’80s. Perhaps it pays to be a packrat?
