We’ve never been fond of hand-me-downs. Mostly because wearing the clothes our older sister outgrew frequently got us beaten up behind the monkey bars. (Though we can only now truly appreciate that we still fit into her fierce Candy Striper outfit.)
But there’s a version of hand-me-down that falls more into the category of gay-it-forward.
Introducing Previously Owned by a Gay Man, a wonderfully curated site that sells gently used home furnishings, art and accessories that, you guessed it, were once owned by stylish gay men. Because impeccable taste is one homosexual stereotype that we’ll wholeheartedly embrace.
Previously Owned by a Gay Man is a great resource for any of us (especially the decor-challenged) to get fabulous, high-quality designer goods at a fraction of their original price.
And if you happen to be a gay man with jealousy-inducing pieces and live in the San Francisco Bay area where they operate their warehouse, you could earn cash by selling through the site. (Of course, we gays don’t discriminate, so even heteros are able to sell stuff on the site. They just need to possess a gay-worthy level of style.)
So before you decorate your house with the latest pieces from the Sofia Vergara Collection, consider purchasing furnishings that’ll be in your family for generations.
The gay stamp of approval is free.
