Raise your hand if you love thrifted and antique home decor!
If you raised both hands, then you’ve come to the right place.
Because I’m about to give you a tour of some of my favourite antique and thrifted home decor items that I own.
Most of these beauties have followed me from previous houses. Though I think our sustainable home is where they fit best since we’ve got kind of a minimalist meets rustic home decor style going on.
If you want to read a post where I give five reasons why you should buy secondhand home decor instead of new, go here.
Note that this post contains affiliate links, meaning if you click on a link and make a purchase a small percentage of the sale goes to yours truly. Please know that I strive to only feature eco-conscious products and brands.
It’s not like I’m against new items for the home. Just as long as they’re ethically made by brands that consider the planet. A couple of earth-focused decor companies are Vivaterra and ethical marketplace Made Trade. If you prefer new to old, then I for sure recommend checking them out.
But my thrifted and antique home decor pieces are among my favs. And that’s because they each have a unique story. Want to hear a few of them? Check out my latest video!
I’ve also put together a list of thrifted and antique home decor finds from Etsy. I was able to find quite a few items similar to the pieces I already own. But, of course, different in their own way. Scroll below the video to check them out – or click here!
So what do you say, shall we begin?
Did you know that Etsy is the first major online shopping destination to offset 100% of carbon emissions generated by shipping? Read more about the initiative here and view my favourite eco-conscious Etsy finds here.
