Interior stylist Rachel Forslund believes we don’t need new things to create beautiful homes. In fact, she can prove it. In this video we follow Rachel on the hunt for her next gem, and see how she furnishes her own home.
For Rachel Forslund, breathing new life into secondhand furniture is a way to create unique looks that burst with character – while avoiding using up natural resources.
The hunt
There are so many furniture pieces out there, just waiting for someone to come along and give them a chance at a new life. Rachel is setting out to find her next one.
The transformation
When Rachel stumbled upon this cute side table for just $30, she couldn’t resist. With some paint, sanding, and a little magic, she gets to work transforming it into a custom piece that’s perfect for her guest room.
Furnishing an entire home
“As a renter, you can make a home beautiful,” says Rachel. She shows us how as she takes us through her rental in San Francisco – furnished with only secondhand and vintage items.
