The advantage of buying second-hand home decor is that you know it's already been in someone's home for years, which means it's more likely to be a piece that was built to last — it's not old and dirty, but it's not built to last.
As you search for unique pieces to tuck into your tiny Vancouver home, here are some of our favourite vintage home decor spots.
