How to create unique and eye-catching displays of your most cherished pieces.
AFTER A 25-YEAR CAREER IN MERCHANDISING AT A DEPARTMENT STORE, Dawn Contreras began using her styling skills and talent to sell vintage items on her own.
“I only buy what I love,” Dawn says. “My rule of thumb is I don’t buy it to sell if it’s not something I would decorate with.” She sells her vintage wares every month at The Coast Vintage Market in Southern California.
