Adding a few one-of-a-kind pieces to our homes are what make our spaces unique. (Let's face it, no one wants their interiors to look exactly like a page from Crate & Barrel catalog.) And what's more original than vintage?
But finding these secondhand elements to complete our rooms isn't always so easy. Although it's fun on the occasion, the though of waking up at the crack of dawn every weekend to hit up local auctions and flea markets is daunting. But don't worry, we have your back. And you don't even have to leave your living room to shop.
We compiled the best vintage furniture websites (besides Etsy and eBay, of course) that are surefire spots to find the goods. Let us know in the comments below which are your favorites and if there are any hotspots we've missed.
1. 1stdibs: If you're looking to splurge on an original piece, head to 1stdibs for a beautifully curated and exclusive collection. This site has been interior designers' secret source for years.
2. One Kings Lane: Although it started as one of the premiere "flash sales" sites for decor, recently this site has been focusing on vintage and market finds. Make sure to check out the weekly sales curated by well-known tastemakers.
