Mixing vintage with new creates lasting style

T

he trend for 2022 is a return to lasting style, according to Good Housekeeping magazine.

Influenced by supply-chain disruptions, months-long back orders, and the awareness that ‘buy it and throw it away’ consumerism is bad for our planet, more Americans are returning to repurposing items and shopping vintage.

We all have a piece or two of furniture that may have been passed down from a beloved family member, or one you fell in love with at a flea market and didn’t have a place for when you got home—but finding a way to work them into your decor can be a fun challenge. The best approach is to mix old and new: I love how the designer paired this vintage chair and modern desk in the photo top right. This style combo isn’t just beautiful and unique, but good for the environment as well.

Do you own a vintage piece of furniture but aren’t sure how to repurpose or mix it into your interior? Email me a picture at shaunna.burhop@bairdwarner.com and I’ll get input from one of my favorite local designers and send some ideas to you. I’ll even pick one lucky person to get a “hands on” home visit and post the results on my instagram. Stay tuned! n

’m always looking for ways to help clients gain an advantage and am really excited about the new pricing tool now available for sellers.

Historically, agents have given pricing advice using a comparative model, comparing a sellers’ home to what has sold in the neighborhood.

Personally, I’ve always tried to factor in market dynamics as much as possible, but it has been based more on gut instinct than anything since there were no tools available to analyze trend data. Now for 2022 I have invested in a new sophisticated tool that provides pricing insights based on a competitive model—giving your home the advantage it deserves! n

The new competitive pricing tools I’ve invested in will help sellers position their home to account for: 1. Seasonal timing and predicted buyer demand 2. Odds of selling at various price points 3. Momentum in the market

My recent private client appreciation event at Beer on the Wall was a great kickoff to the holidays! We introduced the craft beer retail store and beer cafe to new people, and gave everyone a chance to check out some unique brews—including Drekker from Fargo, ND which tasted like a sour smoothie (who knew a beer could taste like that?). A favorite was Imperial Poseidon’s Lantern, an Imperial Milk Stout from Roaring Table in Lake Zurich. #shaunnasupportssmallbiz n SHAUNNA BURHOP is one of the top agents in the Chicago Northwest Suburbs, and she has consistently been recognized as one of the Top 10 Real Estate Agents in Illinois and also the Top Producing Agent at Baird & Warner NW Suburban.
