The more you understand an object—its history, design, and maker—the more confidently you can determine whether it deserves a place in your home. In this 45-minute illustrated talk, Tracey Strobel, owner of sbmidmod, draws on 25 years of sourcing experience to share how she evaluates a vintage piece from its form, function, and condition to its authenticity, value, and story. Attendees will leave with a more informed eye and a practical framework for choosing vintage objects that feel meaningful, functional, and personal.

This event will be hosted in our third-floor loft space, which is only accessible by stairs.
