In an ideal world, we'd all have hours and hours each week to scour the local estate sales and flea markets for That Perfect Piece. For those who love the salvaged look but can barely salvage minutes, there are people like Andy and Clytie from Ampersand Vintage Modern that do the extensive searching and heavy lifting.

Geez...I agree that hunting for vintage is fun, but at least in my neighborhood, it's not every day that you can rummage through a dumpster or goodwill store to find the kinds of things Ampersand has rounded up. I like their style and love that you can put in a request and they'll go searching, especially for those of us who not necessarily have the time. lizabean on Jan 13, 2012

I agree that the vintage+industrial+mid century style is starting to get over-saturated, but these guys have great pieces for what it is, and way lower than similar shops like three potato four. The problem is when a designer goes crazy and buys rusty signs, old globes, trunks, and taxidermy and just slaps it all over some "hip Austin bachelor pad" and we're supposed to be wowed at the house tour. Find these pieces yourself and they will be more personal and special. Go to Todd Farm at 5 AM on Sundays like the rest of us. justinp82 on Jan 13, 2012
