Repair, Restore, Reimagine: How Vintage Furniture Can Change the Way We Consume, Stacy Verdick Case, Peony Lane Designs
Episode Description
What if creating a sustainable home didn't require buying anything new?
In this episode of The Wild Party Podcast, Stefanie LaHart talks with Stacy Verdick Case, founder of Peony Lane Designs and creator of Junkin with Stacy, about repairing, restoring and reimagining vintage furniture instead of sending it to the landfill.
After spending 20 years as an accountant, Stacy transformed skills she learned from her father into a passion for furniture restoration, vintage selling and DIY education.
In this conversation, you'll learn why older furniture was often built to be repaired, what “fast furniture” means for our homes and the environment, how beginners can tackle their first restoration project, why maintenance matters, and how Stacy built an audience by sharing her successes AND mistakes.
You'll also hear the wonderful story of Uncle Emil's $20 dresser—and how preserving a few handwritten notes kept one family's history alive.

• Repairing versus replacing
• Beginner-friendly furniture restoration
