Michigan-based thrifter Emma Kenward is transforming her home with items she thrifted.

She posted a TikTok showing how she decorated her living room using secondhand decor.

Emma Kenward and her fiancée bought a new house in Kalamazoo, Michigan, in 2020. Since then, Kenward has been revamping the home using secondhand pieces and documenting the process on social media.

Emma Kenward and her fiancée bought a new house in Kalamazoo, Michigan, in 2020. Since then, Kenward has been revamping the home using secondhand pieces and documenting the process on social media.

One of Kenward's favorite pieces is a mid-century-style shelving unit that she drove four hours to pick up with her dad.

Kenward's kidney-shaped table was an under-$10 find. She placed it over her striped rug, which she uses as the focal point of the room.

Kenward's ottoman was from an estate sale, which she says she's been going to for years to find good deals.

Although she's still adding new pieces and sometimes shuffles things around in the space, Kenward's living room fits her vision for the space.
