A Business with History and Heart

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.

Passion for Design, Sustainability, and Unique Finds

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.

A Shopping Experience Like No Other

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.

A Business Rooted in Community

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.
