In this video, I’m doing an EXTREME antique home decor shop-with-me—like, truly buckle up—because I rented a U-Haul/box truck and drove down to San Diego for two full days of vintage hunting. I’m taking you along for the whole adventure: the road trip, the warehouse-style dig-throughs, the coastal antique malls, and all the little moments where you have to make quick decisions when something special pops up. If you love that treasure-hunt energy, this is exactly that. As I’m shopping, I share my go-to mindset for sourcing like a pro: I’m always looking for quality materials, timeless shapes, and pieces that can be layered into a home to make it feel collected and cozy (not themed). I’m thinking about scale, patina, and whether something has that “thrifted-to-designer” potential—even if it needs a little cleaning, styling, or a simple DIY upgrade. And at the end, I do a huge haul and break down everything I scored so you can see how I’m planning to use each piece and why it made the cut.
