Our story
Following the purchase of our first house in Ireland and as cash strapped newlyweds we set about furnishing it on a budget. We started hunting at flea markets and vintage websites. We managed to create an old-world feel in a brand new modern house.
This is where the passion for the old really started with us two.
Our story
We moved from Dublin to Barcelona and moved into a grand traditional Catalan apartment with no furniture. This was such an exciting scenario for us!
This time we had all these wonderful Barcelona markets and antique stores on our doorstep with items not only from Barcelona but other parts of Spain, as well as France, Belgium and more.
Our story
This time we were busy running touristic apartments and Fiona was busy with the interior design of them. There is something always to be found in the ‘Philona Rooms’ apartments from our vintage finds!
Meanwhile, our own home was filling up with items we fell in love with or felt we had to save. Phil was busy restoring furniture in any free time he had and selling these restored pieces online via eBay and locally online.
Our story
This was the time we were supposed to launch ‘Philona Vintage’ but unfortunately, there was the small inconvenience of a global pandemic!
We were lucky to be busy with an interior design project in a large apartment here in Barcelona so whilst the markets and vintage shops were closed we had to source furniture and decor items online through local classified adverts.
Our story
So here we are in 2021 and ready to go. Although the world is still slowly coming out of the covid nightmare we are ready to get things moving and it feels like the right time to launch ‘Philona Vintage’ and so to help you find that something special for your home or business.
