Are we ruining old things?

Over the past few years, the internet has seen a surge in people finding old antique furniture, thrift shopping, and using Facebook marketplace to find pre-loved clothes. Although some interior or fashion styles have people simply use these items as is, others have people using their creative and crafty skills to change the original item into something that is trendier or more in line with their personal style. But not everyone thinks this creativity is all good, with some saying that these creators are “ruining” the original pieces.
