Hello, I'm Erin!
I spent my childhood at vintage auctions and searching for treasures in thrift stores with my dad. Building a home for my own family rekindled my love for secondhand pieces that aligns to my style, values, and budget.As a mom, I understand how time consuming and overwhelming it can feel to navigate the secondhand marketplace alone. I started this studio to use my expertise and my joy to help growing families stay aligned with their values and their budget without compromising style or function.
My Ethos
◗ Children deserve spaces that invite curiosity instead of perfection.
◗ Stories and meaning matter more than trends.
◗ Warm, layered homes are created through intentional collection and curation.
◗ Family memories are the greatest heirlooms of all.
FAQs
ꕀ How long does sourcing take?
I provide recommendations within 5-10 business days for most projects, though timelines vary depending on the scope of the project and market availability. We'll outline your timeline at the beginning, so you know what to expect each step of the way.ꕀ Where do you source?
Local marketplaces, such as estate sales, thrift stores, vintage auctions, as well as online marketplaces, such as Facebook, Ebay, and GoodBuy Gear.ꕀ Can you guarantee you'll find the exact item I'm looking for?*
Secondhand sourcing depends on availability, but my goal is always to find the strongest options that fit your project.ꕀ Why do you focus on secondhand and vintage items?
So many reasons! Secondhand often means we can stretch your budget further. Vintage often means access to higher-quality craftsmanship and natural fabrics, so pieces can truly last and grow with your family. You'll help reduce waste and support your local economy through circular, sustainable consumption. You'll discover unique pieces with story and character, that help you write your family's next chapter.ꕀ Are there any items you don't source?
Yes. To prioritize your family's safety, I generally don't recommend sourcing cribs (unless they meet current safety standards and can be verified), car seats, crib mattresses, or recalled products. I'll gladly advise on where buying new is the better choice!
