Summary:
"If you think unique is chic and cringe at the sight of a 'Live, Laugh, Love' poster, then Big Thrift Energy will teach you everything you need to know about shopping for affordable vintage home decor and styling it in a modern home. Antiquing can be intimidating: how do you know if a piece is worth salvaging? How do you navigate the piles of merchandise at a thrift store or estate sale? Part resource, part inspiration, Big Thrift Energy is a comprehensive guide that offers tips for thrifting that you never knew you needed: How to shop for the good stuff, how to upcycle and style vintage treasures in your home, and even advice for flipping your most-coveted items to turn a profit. Plus, the author shares her all-time best finds, from a Goyard trunk worth upwards of $10,000 (scored for $90) to a floor-length vintage Christian Dior cape, a $10 Goodwill find. Big Thrift Energy will teach you: - Where to shop for antique and vintage treasures you'll love - The best things to buy used, and which items to pass on - How to upcycle something old into something 'you' and make it fit beautifully in your home - How to tell when something is valuable, and tips for reselling it to make a profit. Author Virginia Chamlee is a writer for People magazine who has spent more than a decade collecting and selling vintage wares. Her home has been featured on Apartment Therapy and HGTV and her original artwork is available at Chairish, Anthroplogie, and Artfully Walls."--Publisher.
