Yes, you can furnish your home second-hand and still have major style.

Ready to fall in love again? With preloved furnishings, that is. A new site for secondhand furnishings has caught our eye. SecondeVie isn’t your usual thrift-shop portal – it specializes in high-quality, authenticated antiques and vintage items at attractive prices. Referring to the site’s curated furnishings as “hero pieces,” founder Solange Strom says buying and selling secondhand goods also aligns with today’s movement toward conscious consumption. As well, says Solange, transacting sales on Reealto is a win-win for buyer and seller.

Sellers get assistance with copywriting and sales, and only pay a service fee when their item is sold; buyers have the assurance that items have been expertly authenticated and curated and will be carefully handled right through to delivery. It’s one of those sites you’ll want to revisit regularly to see what’s on offer: on a recent visit, we saw a beautiful gilded mirror for $800 and an 18th-century Italian bombe chest for $450. Inventory is constantly changing.
