For over 30 years, Snazzy Seconds Decor on Consignment has been a beloved part of the Heart of Orléans BIA, offering a treasure trove of unique, high-quality home décor. Located at 2405 St. Joseph Blvd., this thriving consignment shop is not just a business—it’s a community hub where shoppers and consignors come together to give furniture, artwork, and home accessories a second life.
Founded in 1994, Snazzy Seconds was built on a simple yet brilliant concept: providing a space where people could sell their home décor and furnishings without the hassle of dealing with strangers in their homes. Over the years, the shop has remained a cornerstone of the community, evolving under different owners while staying true to its roots.
For the past 14 years, owner Laura Chaulk has continued this legacy, curating an ever-changing selection of one-of-a-kind pieces that customers can’t find anywhere else. From 100-year-old antiques to modern furnishings, kitchenware, jewelry, purses, pottery, crystal, framed art, and more, Snazzy Seconds truly has something for everyone. With over 1,000 items processed each week, every visit is a new shopping adventure!
Laura’s love for interior design, sustainability, and one-of-a-kind treasures is what drives her passion for the business. The store fosters eco-friendly shopping by giving furniture and décor a second life, reducing waste, and supporting a greener community.
Additionally, consignment shopping provides a budget-friendly way for customers to refresh their homes with stylish, high-quality pieces while keeping commerce within the local economy. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to downsize, refresh your space, or find that perfect vintage piece, Snazzy Seconds offers a trusted platform to buy and sell home décor.
What sets Snazzy Seconds apart from big-box stores? It’s the ever-changing inventory, personalized shopping experience, and the stories behind every item. Many pieces in the shop come from people’s travels, rare collections, or estates, adding a layer of history and charm to each find.
One of Laura’s favorite aspects of the business is watching mothers and daughters shop together, reminiscing about similar pieces their relatives once owned. It’s not just a store—it’s a place where memories are shared, and history finds a new home.
Being located in the Heart of Orléans BIA is something Laura cherishes. The warmth, loyalty, and appreciation from local shoppers and consignors have made Snazzy Seconds a staple in the community for decades.
Beyond running the store, Laura also has a full-time job and four kids, but she remains deeply involved in Snazzy Seconds. In the evenings and on weekends, she’s cleaning, organizing, and ensuring unsold items are donated to local charities—a testament to her dedication to both the business and the community.
