Chicago Designer Achieves High Style with Thrift

All images in today's post are from Garage Sale Warrior

I've been admiring the thrifty blog Garage Sale Warrior part of Chicago Now. The latest post celebrates Chicago designer Christopher Heitger and his warm and comfortable yet elegant home filled with mostly thrifted art and furniture.

Every corner of this cozy home is filled with properly displayed thrifted treasure, the eras are mixed and range from the 20s to the 70s.

I admire the diversity of well-displayed art on each wall. These beautiful retro city prints were once sold at Field's. They are stunning framed in masculine black frames.

Each collection is well edited and displayed with control and a great eye for symmetry. The classic pieces go well with modern technology, note how the flat screen computer doesn't seem anachronistic in this setting amid a vintage radio and classic fiestaware. The clock is from Christopher's home town.

Read the original article to see more pictures of this gorgeous home. I'm inspired by the modern, clean, colorful art. I really want to emulate some of his thrifted artwork.
