    VINTAGE WORLD FT. MIDNIGHT SUNLIGHT

    Everyone welcome my interior design auntie Sunny (no we're not related but we should be)! Sunny is the owner of Midnight Sunlight- a carefully curated showroom filled with beautiful and strange vintage furniture, art, and objects.

Sunny has built an empire off of these principals: Have I seen it, will I ever see it again, do I have enough money to buy it, and do I love it?! She has taken me under her wing since my move to PDX, so it's such an honor to have her on. Everyone give it up for Sunny!
