If you love the thrill of the vintage hunt and discovering one-of-a-kind treasures, you're not alone. There's a rise in secondhand shopping as many shoppers want to live more sustainably and on a budget while creating unique, personalized aesthetics. The beauty of antique shopping lies in the fact that every era has its charm, but the key is finding pieces that truly resonate with your individual style. Whether you’re drawn to the elegance of Art Deco, the cozy appeal of modern farmhouse, or the undeniable coolness of the '70s, there’s something you'll find that will make your home feel layered and grounded in history.
Now there are a ton of curated marketplaces like Etsy, Chairish, Sunbeam Vintage, and Heirloomed that match buyers with their dream vintage finds without having to visit your local antiques faire or shop (although that's always a fun outing too).
Chairish
Landscapes from the early 20th century and western themes are en vogue, but don't limit yourself to paintings and wall art. Look beyond to unique pieces that ground your home with a bit of history — think heirloom textiles, artisanal ceramics, and sculptural clay accents that tell a story. This 1927 horse painting by Raoul Millais from Chairish is nearly $7,000, but you can lean into Studio McGee x Target's cowboy decor with its Stallion on Canvas Board with Antique Frame for just $12!
Magnolia
Nothing elevates a bathroom or entryway quite like a distinctive mirror that sets your space apart from mass-produced design you see all over. Art Deco mirrors break away from traditional shapes with curvy and geometric silhouettes and intricate details that make a bold statement. This Magnolia Vintage Inspired Art Deco Mirror is a subtle nod to the era.
Etsy
Vintage chandeliers, sconces, and table lamps are more than just lighting — they’re statement pieces that add artistic charm to your space. Find a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your style, and swoon whenever you switch it on and off.
Etsy
Miniature spoons, figurines, and trinkets add a touch of personality to dresser and tablescapes. Seek out tiny treasures that bring you joy but also infuse your decor with playful if not meaningful charm.

A headboard can instantly elevate a room, and antique stores are the perfect treasure troves for finding unique shapes and designs. You can choose to restore, upholster, or embrace its original charm to add character and a stunning focal point in your space.
Heirloomed
I'm absolutely swooning over these Heirloomed vintage plates. They transform any table setting into a beautifully curated, creative masterpiece.
Unfinished brass accents like candlestick holders, hardware, and trays add a timeless vintage charm to your home.
Elsie Green
Reclaimed wood hutches and buffets like this one from Elsie Green are having a major moment in the vintage market. They also offer stylish and functional storage.

Vintage glassware never goes out of style, and adding colorful pieces that complement your aesthetic can make your dinner parties truly gorgeous.
Revival
More sellers are restoring natural vintage rugs like this Revival one-of-a-kind vintage rug, hand-knotted by Beni M'Guild tribes in Morocco, with beautiful patterns. They are a great way to complement the art on your walls with art on your floors.

Spring will be here before you know it, and if you're anything like me, you don’t think it’s entirely too crazy to be dreaming of warmer weather right now – especially as we face some insanely cold temperatures. In the vein of embracing big spring energy, I’m already thinking about my warm-weather wardrobe, and the first item on my wishlist is none other than a drop waist dress!

I love all the drama this dress brings. From the oversized, scalloped collar to the whimsical puff sleeves, it's all brought together with a flattering drop waist silhouette. The mini length makes this style undeniably spring- and summer-ready, though you could easily style it for colder weather with tights, tall boots, and a denim jacket!
Anthropologie
The exaggerated drop waist on this maxi moment elongates your figure, flattering it to a tee. Plus, the trendy leopard print will earn you major style points! Whether you wear it with sandals or sneakers, you really can't go wrong with this design.

This mini strapless number is the perfect fit for any upcoming tropic getaway you've got planned. Even if a fancy beach vacation is not on your docket, you can still channel the laidback energy with this pick!

As much as I love Valentine's Day, Galentine's Day is actually my favorite February holiday! There's nothing I adore more than getting together with my girlfriends and celebrating each other with drinks and games — and gifts — galore. This year, the bestie basket is the best (and easiest) way to show your girls how much you care about them! These adorable gifts are super easy to make — you just have to pick a cute basket, fill it with your BFF's favorite things, and voila! You've got a perfect, thoughtful, last-minute gift!
Don't know what you need to get started? I've got you covered!
Target
Obviously the first piece you need for your bestie basket is an actual basket. This pink rope basket from Target is cute, big enough to hold plenty of goodies, and is only $6!
Target
But if you're looking for something a little more cutesy — and a little smaller — this heart basket will do the trick, too! Plus, the handle makes your gift way easier to transport to your BFF.
Target
You can totally just put your gifts right into the basket, but a little tissue paper adds an extra zhuzh to your gift as well! And look at how pretty this heart paper is!
Target
Whether your bestie is a coffee addict á la Lorelai Gilmore, loves a hot cuppa tea, or can't resist a decadent hot chocolate, a cute mug is a must-have in your basket. I love, love, love the pink and red stripes on this one!
Target
However, if your BFF is more of an iced-coffee kinda gal, she may be more into this sweet little heart-shaped tumbler!
Target
It's no secret the gals are into Stanley cups — so why not grab some pink and red straws to make everyone's favorite hand accessory even cuter?
Target
This little pink pouch is another perfect addition to your emotional support water bottle, too! You can toss your phone, credit cards, lip balm, or whatever else you need on your hot girl errands in here!
Target
Cozy socks are a definitely must in your bestie basket! These are super on-theme — and super soft!
Target
I seriously love LOOPS masks! Grab this for your girlfriends, and maybe even throw 'em on while you grab some wine and gab during your Galentine's Day celebration!
Target
Winter is doing a number on everyone's skin right now, so a body scrub is a nice little luxury to gift your girlfriends right now. Revive your skin — and smell good doing it!

A little nail care is a total hallmark of a good girls night! Grab this sweet shade of red for the perfect at-home mani for you bestie!
Target
Are people over bows? IDK, but I'm sure not. These are coquette and cute and so going in your bestie baskets this year!
Target
Bestie baskets absolutely need candy — it's a non-negotiable. Nerds gummy clusters are super viral right now, and for good reason! They're chewy, crunchy, and totally delicious.
Target
If your friends aren't into gummy candy, classic Dove dark chocolate hearts are a solid way to go as well!
Target
And if dark chocolate is too bitter, then these sweet little milk chocolate truffles are also amazing!
