My new and favorite site to visit is TINI also known as This Is Not Ikea. Besides having a clever name and a TON of neat vintage items, they also have a great blurb on how buying vintage is good for the environment. The founders of TINI say, "Buying vintage is the ultimate green way to shop. You don’t increase your carbon footprint through manufacturing. You are recycling, in the best sense of the word. That beautiful 50’s lamp doesn't end up in a landfill, (and you are way cooler than your friends.)"
So, you can own a unique piece of vintage furniture that will stand the test of time, help the environment and be cool. Sounds good to me! I'll start with that sleek clock and colorful picnic set please. Check out all the vintage goodness over at TINI - be sure to pack your lunch because you'll be there for awhile!

ooh, these are great...xo
Gorgeous! Love the desk--and the fan.
Oh wow! Very clever name--love that desk and those trays too.
I love all their things, but I have such a hard time browsing through the site. I guess I shouldn't complain - it's a bit like thrift store shopping online, and I love thrift store shopping in person!
ooooh, thx for the link! the lamps are gorgeous
Hooray!
How clever :) Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I'm in love with that desk!
lovely stuff. I want the fan for the studio!
Oooh, fantastic. I must check this out!
What a great name and purpose. I'm all about vintage home goods -- they've got personality, you know?
Love it! Thanks for sharing :)

yes, several things caught my eye.
i am on my way to check it out. thanks for the great heads up as usual.
it's like a museum!
Thank you sooooo much for this link. I think I'm in love.
I am SWOONING over the desk and chair. LOVE!!
These items are wonderful and as a consummate re-purposer, I agree, buying used things instead of buying new IS a great way to be less wasteful. We throw so much away that's still perfectly functional... more for us re-purposers to find! :)
Love the philosophy and these images are great. Thanks for sharing, I'm off to check it out.
Very cool! :)
yep cool is the word!
I love that clock!
Holy moly! They really do have great stuff! Thanks for posting this. I think I'm in love...
I wish there was a place like this near me! Great stuff at decent prices. But I don't live in LA. :(

Wowza! Thanks for pointing the way to this spot. I love every single piece. Great stuff, great philosophy!
