Hi, I’m Trudi from The Deco Detective. It’s a pleasure to be here at My Internal Design - thanks Sue for inviting me to do this guest post!
I always try to shop eco friendly, and I think the best way of doing this is to look for stuff in second-hand shops. For this post, I’ve done a bit of browsing and found three great homes that look different, but still have one thing in common: The owners have decorated with second-hand/vintage/flea market finds.
From Country Living:
The wooden tub has become a coffee table - and as you can see, it’s not always necessary to paint the furniture to make it look great!

From PointClickHome:
A fresher, slightly more modern look. This family home feels like a summer house - especially the hallway!

From Cookiemag:
I think this retro home is super cool - this is the kind of furniture I grew up with, and I love seeing it in a new context!
I get really inspired by seeing homes like these, so the next time I need something for my home, I’m not running to IKEA first thing!

Hi Trudi
First of all - Thank you for this great post. I love using old furniture. The mud room from country living is fantastic. I love that blue bench.The kitchen from the country living link is wonderful as well, except I would skip having the rocking chair in the middle of my kitchen.
I totally agree with you on the retro home - I love it :-) I could move in in a flash, if they would let me…
Hi Sue,
I’m glad you liked it, it was fun putting together this post! Hope everyone gets the second-hand itch now!

Great round up Trudi! A terrific sampling of how vintage/second hand can be used to evoke all different styles! I’m the same way these days—a trip to the thrift store is MUCH more satisfying than one to Ikea!
great post with lovely images!
I just came here from "The Deco Detective".
I love the bedroom! It looks so peaceful and relaxing! I went to stay there all day and daydream, read, and blog! It’s just perfect!
Have a lovely day everyone!
awesome, i especially like the photos from cookie mag. children’s room can benefit from vintage too!
Anne, Julie, Beatriz and Down and Out Chic - thanks for the comments.
