Re-use. Re-hang. Reclaim. Whether you fill your home with flea market finds or accent sparingly with select thrifted treasures, you’re improving the world—one reclamation at a time.

intage is once again in style. Why? Because the women of the world recognize that timeless equals beauty, classic can be classy, and reclamation is the aesthetic that fills the soul. Hanging a wicker light can be practical and pretty in a tropical kitchen. Shelving made of reclaimed barn wood can be inspiring in a Texas home. Repurposed industrial lighting can balance out a suburban ranch. Or—you can go your own way. 1950s glam…Eclectic + Mod…Bordering on Victorian… The best part of reclamation is “to each her own.”
In intentional design, as in life, the choices are just as important as the end result, and the process is just as important as the final design. Reclamation, then, is radical: an announcement to the world that you choose to re-use something that still has life left inside. We get to decide what goes in our houses. We get to embrace the style for which our soul calls out. We get to choose how we will change the world.
