Learn to find affordable vintage home decor and how to style it in a modern home.

From a Goyard trunk worth upwards of $10,000 (scored for $90) to a floor-length vintage Christian Dior cape (a $10 Goodwill find), Virginia knows how to find deals.

Danielle from Apartment Therapy says “Virginia has total sage sister vibes, helping you score pieces for a song with tips that are so good, I kind of can’t believe she’s letting us in on these trade secrets.”

Picked as a “Best New Book” by People Magazine, Big Thrift Energy will teach you everything you need to know about shopping for affordable vintage home decor and styling it in a modern home. Antiquing can be intimidating: how do you know if a piece is worth salvaging? How do you navigate the piles of merchandise at a thrift store or estate sale? Part resource, part inspiration, Big Thrift Energy is a comprehensive guide that offers tips for thrifting that you never knew you needed: How to shop for the good stuff, how to upcycle and style vintage treasures in your home, and even advice for flipping your most-coveted items to turn a profit.

Big Thrift Energy will teach you:
• Where to shop for antique and vintage treasures you’ll love
• The best things to buy used, and which items to pass on
• How to upcycle something old into something “you” and make it fit beautifully in your home
• How to tell when something is valuable, and tips for reselling it to make a profit
