What is Scavenger Home all about?

From Deluxe Apartment to Sophisticated Pied-a-Terre...
Scavenger Home has collected the perfect accessories and one of a kind vintage furniture to add personality and charm to your space. Whether you are in a rental apartment or a custom built home, surround yourself with pieces that speak to your individuality and character.

Stylish Design with an Ecological Mind...
Buying Vintage is the ultimate in recycling. Better quality, beautiful lines, timeless design. Imagine yourself in the pages of Elle Decor, not the Pottery Barn catalog. Learn ways to use your creativity, or borrow ours, to build the environment you want to live in, both personally and globally.

Warm, Friendly, Comfortable...
We want to be a shop that inspires. Come in for some hot tea on a rainy day and flip through our extensive backlog of Decor Magazines. Peruse our design books and look for ideas you can implement for yourself. Let's brainstorm about how you can recreate and reinvigorate pieces you already have, and add a few key touches without breaking the bank.

Hunt and Gather...
Can't find exactly what you are looking for? You don't have time to scour the earth searching for it? We do! Come in and we'll talk about your wants and needs (and dimensions) and then do the hunting for you. We can provide you with the "after", redone in the perfect color or fresh upholstery, or if you prefer, we can help you find the "before" and help you decide on colors and fabric to do it yourself.

Taking the plunge!!!

I am staring the current economic conditions right in the face and saying “HA!”!

Since only like 3 people read this, you probably already know that I am opening up my very own vintage furniture shop, Scavenger Home.  Since, again, you all know me, it would be fruitless to try to portray this endeavor as a graceful, calm, well oiled machine.  I am a basket case trying to  get it all done in time for a December 1st Grand Opening.  Can’t miss the Holiday Season, you know.

I intend to post pictures, and give a rundown of the process here on this little blog, but that will all have to come after the fact.  For now, you will have to settle with the artwork for the sign.  Like it?
