ChristineThis weekend’s Get the Look Decor is inspired by the Cincinnati, Ohio home of vintage treasure hunter, knitter, crafter and “Etsy dude” Drew. He describes his style as organized chaos, with vintage cast-offs occupying the same space as mid-century modern designer pieces. His decorating style evolved over the course of many years, as his love for thrift store finds and designer furniture transitioned from a hobby into a successful business.

Drew says it’s hard for him to choose just one element that he loves about his home. He appreciates the age and character, the wonderful views from the many windows, his Cincinnati neighborhood and the reasonable rent. He says, “It’s real and doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s unique. It’s me.”
