ENGLISH
It is often said that everyone deserves a second chance, and by everyone I mean people, but... What about objects? Something gets damaged, and it goes straight to the trash. However, there are people who know how to make use of "trash".
One of them is Franca, who owns with her sister the Mirabella Inn in Bejuma, Venezuela.
I was in search of iconic places in the municipality, along with Angel, a photographer from Bejuma who accompanied me to walk the streets, but it was a kind lady who told us about Mirabella. "You have to take pictures of that beautiful house", she told me.
We did not hesitate and went there. Franca, who was cleaning, opened the door for us, but did kindly allow me to take pictures of the house, which is full of recycled or handmade objects such as lamps, tables, pictures and picturesque ornaments.
The house dates from the mid-19th century, and belonged to a family that owned agricultural land, and the architecture of yesteryear can be seen in walls, facade and windows, but the vintage air can also be seen in televisions, acetate discs, magazines, cameras, typewriters, among others.
The truth is that the Mirabella Inn is a place where objects are given a second chance, not only for objects, but also for people, offering them handicraft workshops. It is a place for art, ecology, reinvention and quality.
ESPAÑOL
Se suele decir que todos merecen una segunda oportunidad, y con todos me refiero a las personas, pero… ¿Qué pasa con los objetos? Algo se nos daña, y va a directo a la basura. Sin embargo, hay quienes saben darle uso a la “basura”.
Una de ellas es Franca, quien ostenta junto a su hermana la posada Mirabella en Bejuma, Venezuela.
Estaba en búsqueda de lugares icónicos del municipio, junto a Ángel, fotógrafo bejumero que me acompañó a recorrer las calles, pero fue una amable señora quien nos habló de Mirabella. “Tienes que tomarle fotos a esa casa tan bella”, me dijo.
No lo dudamos y fuimos hasta allá. Nos abrió la puerta Franca, quien se encontraba limpiando, pero amablemente me permitió tomar fotografías de su posada, que está repleta de objetos reciclados o hechos artesanalmente como lámparas, mesas, cuadros y adornos pintorescos.
La casa data de mediados del siglo XIX, y pertenecía a una familia que era dueña de terrenos destinados a la agricultura, y puede apreciarse la arquitectura de antaño en paredes, fachada y ventanas, pero los aires vintage también se aprecian en televisores, discos de acetato, revistas, cámaras, máquinas de escribir, entre otros.
Lo cierto es que la posada Mirabella es un techo donde se la da una segunda oportunidad no solo a los objetos, sino a las personas, brindándoles talleres de artesanía. Es un lugar para el arte, la ecología, la reinvención y la calidad.
how fascinating! I'm guessing once these second-hands are upscaled in a way, are they sold too for a certain price? this place kind of reminded me of that Lost Love museum filled with possessions from past relationships in a way, thank you for sharing your interesting visit here! 😊
