As an interior designer out of Edmonton, Katie sources items from local thrift shops like Goodwill. She shares her finds, tips and transformations to showcase how beautiful second-hand decorating can be. Every week, you can find her in a thrift store supporting her business Reclaiming Home Decorating. Katie is an excellent role model for anyone who wants to source items sustainably to create a beautiful home.
She is greatly inspired by any creative who fully embraces their individual style and showcases it fearlessly. She is deeply influenced by people who don’t just follow trends or care about what everyone else is doing, but instead pursue what they love and what reflects their personal style. They show her that she can be bold in doing the same.
She describes her personal style as cozy, collected, and vintage. She is always drawn to items that look like they have a story to tell.
When you first start thrifting, it can feel overwhelming. A good idea is to create a list of things you need or want on your phone or in a notebook so that you can remember to look for specific things. This will help you focus and not get overwhelmed by looking at all the things you don’t need.
