Why Antiques Are Therapy: Keri Seery on Creativity, Curation, and Building an Interior Design Business
Episode 13
Wednesday, 26 August, 2026
In this episode of The Business of Antiques, host Toma Clark Haines, CEO of The Antiques Diva & Co, sits down with Keri Seery of Antique Therapy Interiors, a Massachusetts-based antique dealer turned residential interior designer whose eye has been shaped by two decades of Brimfield booths, curated pop-up markets, and hunting for treasure alongside her mom from a very young age. Recording from a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean in Corsica, Toma and Keri unpack why antiquing is literal therapy, what it really takes to run a curated booth at Brimfield and the marketing and logistics lessons Keri learned when she launched her own antiques fair. They dig into her pivot from brick-and-mortar retail to interior design, marketplace selling, and a future concept shop blending antiques, vintage fashion, workshops, and wellness. Plus how she wins clients through Instagram and local Facebook groups, the delicate art of business partnerships, the case for trusting your intuition over Google Lens and designer group chats, and why the pieces you personally love are almost always the ones that sell, because energy, as Toma puts it, is everything.Check out the links from our episode.Keri: antiquestherapyinteriors.com | InstagramToma: Instagram | antiquesdiva.com | Substack
