About

Hi, I'm Rose!  

I am the owner, operator, and content creator of Vintage Rose Sustainable Home Decor. 

Vintage shopping is my passion.  What began as a lifelong hobby has grown into a full-time occupation.  

I consider myself an accidental vintage retailer.  After retiring from a career as a college professor, I opened a booth at an antique mall to sell some of the home decor I had collected over a lifetime.  Three years later, I opened my own vintage storefront.  

Little did I know that something so integral to my life would become a second vocation.  Today, I am a seller, shopper, and teacher of all things vintage.  

I appreciate good design and ALWAYS shop on a budget.  I believe it is possible to buy beautiful second-hand furnishings with great decorating results.  I never buy new if I can purchase used.  That is my decor philosophy.
