Elaine Mingus • Vintage Furniture • Austin, Texas

I sell vintage furniture, but that wasn’t always the case. After realizing a trip to Hawaii with my family of 9 put us in debt, I got insanely depressed. I got an idea. I went out in the late hours of the night, before my neighborhood’s trash pickup day, and picked up anything discarded and headed to the landfill. Then, I sold it on Facebook Marketplace. Never in a million years could I have guessed that what started out of absolute shame and sadness would come to be the joy of my life.
