SheWorks Vintage: Design & Decor

SheWorks Vintage: Design & Decor SheWorks Vintage (formerly Chic Rethink: Design & Decor) is a curated collection of home decor. Hi, I'm Andrea, and I'm so glad you're here!

SheWorks Vintage is the evolution of what once was a mother/daughter retail shop called Chic Rethink: Design & Decor. My mom and I ran a brick and mortar shop along with antique booths in both Jefferson and Commerce, GA. Since she recently retired and handed me the reins, I'm starting the family business up again (slowly) with a vintage booth at Lexington Vintage on Lexington Road in Athens. Come

shop for gorgeous, nostalgic, well-made home decor! (Just look for the big chicken and the red tractors!)

For many years, I didn’t make time for deep thinking and reflection. I felt like I had to constantly be working or doing because my worth was tied up in production. Get it done. Get to the next level. Produce more. Be more. Earn more. Modern life is challenging- noisy, chaotic, expensive- and TIME is a luxury. But, despite the long lists of things that need to get done, I’ve gotten to a point where I truly understand how important it is to STOP. To reconnect. To THINK. I recently went away for a few days all by myself. I stayed in a little cabin on a 50 acre alpaca farm. While it had electricity and a small fridge, it didn’t have running water or any amenities. I took a lantern so I could see my way to the outhouse in the middle of the night. 😂 It was SO quiet- which made me realize how I’m surrounded by constant noise, and how draining it can be. Since then, I’ve been thinking about how we live versus how people lived in the past. Especially in a world driven by technology and rising costs and political uncertainty. Here are some memories I brought home. I’d definitely recommend making some time for some quiet time. ❤️

Nothing haunts you like the vintage you didn’t buy.” 💥 That’s the thing about vintage (besides quality, uniqueness, saving things that might end up in a landfill, style, etc)- it’s not like you can just pop into a big box store and buy it. Once it’s gone- it’s gone. Luckily, you have people (like me and others at )who will dig through junk in musty corners of barns, show up early to estate sales, battle crowds at thrift stores, and take scary trips through the woods to pick up marketplace finds 😂. Then, clean it, fix it, style it, and offer it up to you- easy peasy! REMEMBER: Lexington Vintage in Athens has gift cards, so if you have a vintage/antique lover in your midst- and you aren’t sure what to buy- go get them one for the holidays! You’ll find the shop on Lexington Road, just past the loop, behind the red tractors!

Hello!

If you're seeing this post, you've been a Chic Rethink: Design and Decor community member and a significant part of a journey that my mother (Wanda) and I began over a decade ago.

We both love home decor, and we decided to start Chic Rethink as a creative outlet and a chance to work together on a brick-and-mortar shop, which eventually evolved into antique booths in several area malls.

In the past year, my mom has embraced a well-earned retirement, and I've decided to dip my toes back into the family business. Not full-time, since I run a media and communications firm, but part-time, as a fun side-hustle!

So, what's different now? Well, the name is changing from Chic Rethink to SheWorks Vintage. I have a separate company (SheWorks LLC) that's dedicated to promoting women in business, and since this is another woman-owned business, it fit well (and keeps it simple!).

Where will this vintage home decor be? You'll be able to find all the things you see here exclusively at Lexington Vintage: Reclaimed Restored Repurposed, which is located on Lexington Road in Athens (look for it behind the red tractors!).

Coincidentally, just as I transition this page, Lexington Vintage is also transitioning and will move under new ownership. I'm excited for the new owner (Rhonda) as she marks a period of fresh starts and exploration in the business world. Yay!

My own venture (albeit small-tiny, even) signifies a continuation of what my mother and I built together and something I hope to grow. In the coming months, you'll discover a handpicked assortment of vintage home decor that I'll showcase here, get the chance to hear some captivating stories, and continue to be part of a community designed for those who cherish a cozy, aesthetically pleasing, and functional space (with a sprinkle of nostalgia!).

Let's toast to new beginnings and exciting journeys! I'm so glad you're here!

I don’t know what happened to all the pictures that were attached to my earlier post regarding the Madison house, hopefully, they’ll show up on this try! So happy it turned out so beautifully!

I managed to finish the main areas of my client’s home in Madison! The rest will be done in September or October, but for the time being, here are the photos of my work so far…..also sending out a big THANK YOU to my clients for providing all the help so I didn’t have to climb ladders or do anything physical as I heal from serious back & nerve problems - you are just so caring & thoughtful! My clients are just THE BEST!

This is the beautiful home that’s getting a 2022 refresh & update. We’ll use many of the pieces they love, perhaps change the furniture placement, definitely update the window treatments, & this sofa is “out”…posted about the new sofa search, & pictures of it - so gorgeous, I love it! Can’t wait to start on this “redesign”, it’s going to be so fresh & pretty! So, consider these as the “Before” pictures….”After” pictures to be posted as soon as they redo the walls & floors & I can begin!

Design goal for today: Finding the perfect sofa for the updated design for a house I designed about 15 years ago! Here it is & it’s gorgeous! I love updating the houses I worked on years ago! Always so much fun& very rewarding too! The real work is to begin after the painting (refreshing only- no color changes-they love the original colors chosen), & the floors are refinished because of water damage from big potted plants, so it’ll begin in a month or so. Can’t wait for you to see the transformation! Going to be awesome!

Met with my new client today & did the presentation, mock up, & diagrams of her new & glam closet! She’s now very excited about getting all the work done, & promised to send me photos to share with you when it’s all finished! Can’t wait for you to see it, but construction will take a little while, so be patient! 😊

From our home to yours, wishing you a happy & blessed Christmas! ❤️
