The Goods
A virtual library of vintage and antique wallpapers. Secondhand Rose claims that they have a stash of paper that, "represent the world's largest collection of vintage wallpaper." And you know what? We've been in the store and we believe them! Secondhand Rose also stocks vintage linoleum and antiques, but it's the wallpaper that is the real treasure.
The Secret
While Secondhand Rose is well-known to design world professionals and home and decorating editors, it is still relatively unknown to everyday shoppers, especially those outside of the New York City metro area. (If you're in the city for a visit, it's worth the trip downtown to check out the shop in person.)
Things to Know
The drool-worthy patterns are exactly the thing for anyone trying to recreate a certain period in their home. However, accuracy comes with a price. Secondhand Rose's wares are amazing, but they are often also amazingly expensive.
