How We Source Vintage & Pre-Owned Home Décor at One More Time Finds

At One More Time Finds, every piece has a story—long before it ever reaches your home. Sourcing isn’t about buying in bulk or following trends. It’s about intention, patience, and recognizing beauty where others may overlook it.

Here’s a look behind the scenes at how we find and curate the pieces you see in our shop.

We Start With Character, Not Perfection

When we’re sourcing vintage and pre-owned items, we look beyond surface wear. Subtle patina, gentle aging, and signs of a life well-lived are often what make a piece special.

We ask:

• Does this item have warmth or visual interest?

• Can it live beautifully in a modern home?

• Does it feel timeless rather than trendy?

If the answer is yes, it’s worth a closer look.

Thoughtful Sourcing From Trusted Places

Our finds come from a mix of carefully chosen sources—estate sales, small shops, local finds, and places where quality craftsmanship still shines through. We avoid mass surplus and instead focus on items that feel intentional, collected, and personal.

This approach allows us to offer:

• Truly one-of-a-kind pieces

• Smaller, more meaningful collections

• Items that don’t feel overproduced or generic

Each piece is chosen individually—never rushed.

Evaluating Quality & Longevity

Before anything is added to the shop, we assess how it will hold up for its next chapter.

We check for:

• Structural integrity and functionality

• Materials that age well (wood, brass, ceramic, glass)

• Whether gentle cleaning or restoration will enhance—not erase—its character

If an item can’t realistically be enjoyed for years to come, we pass.

Cleaning, Care & Light Restoration

Once sourced, items are carefully cleaned using methods appropriate for their materials and age. Our goal is always preservation—not over-restoration.

We avoid harsh refinishing and instead focus on:

• Safe cleaning

• Stabilizing delicate areas

• Respecting original finishes whenever possible

The result is a piece that feels refreshed, but still authentic.

Curating With Intention

We don’t add items just to fill space. Everything in the shop is curated to work together—whether you’re shopping for a single accent or building a collected look over time.

That’s why you’ll often notice:

• Neutral, timeless palettes

• Pieces that layer well with both vintage and modern décor

• A balance between statement items and everyday accents

We want shopping to feel calm, inspiring, and purposeful.

Why This Matters

Choosing pre-owned and thoughtfully sourced items isn’t just about sustainability—it’s about creating a home filled with meaning.

When you shop One More Time Finds, you’re choosing:

• Fewer, better pieces

• Items with history and soul

• A slower, more intentional way of decorating

And we’re honored to be part of that journey.

✨ Discover, renew, repeat—one meaningful find at a time.
