If you think unique is chic and cringe at the sight of a "Live， Laugh， Love" poster， then Big Thrift Energy will teach you everything you need to know about shopping for affordable vintage home decor and styling it in a modern home。

Antiquing can be intimidating: how do you know if a piece is worth salvaging？ How do you navigate the piles of merchandise at a thrift store or estate sale？ Part resource， part inspiration， Big Thrift Energy is a comprehensive guide that offers tips for thrifting that you never knew you needed: How to shop for the good stuff， how to upcycle and style vintage treasures in your home， and even advice for flipping your most-coveted items to turn a profit。 Plus， the author shares her all-time best finds， from a Goyard trunk worth upwards of $10，000 （scored for $90） to a floor-length vintage Christian Dior cape， a $10 Goodwill find。
