Immediately after closing and getting the keys to the apartment, we brought over our vintage record player.

It’s a 1970’s Italian design Milani record player known as a “trash can” because of its shape. We first saw one like it in Italy, found this one on Italian eBay, had it shipped to the U.S., and kept it in storage until now. 

This was the first item we moved in – before any furniture – because what better way to christen our new place than by playing a Billie Holiday original LP on a vintage record player.

It definitely scores high on the coolness scale.
