When Katrina Ellis set out to furnish her and her partner Tyson’s green remodel in Melbourne, Australia, in keeping with the sustainable theme she bought nearly all the home’s furniture secondhand, but she didn’t see it as a sacrifice: “9 times out of 10 it’s better quality, better fabrics and then it’s not creating waste”.
In this video, Katrina shows us her preloved furniture and talks about why she likes to refurbish (lamps, shoes, etc) rather than buy new.
