Second Hand Rose is a Maine-based small business with a deep love of midcentury style, bright and colorful kitchenware, and the little everyday treasures with their own interesting stories to tell.
I’m Korinne, the founder and curator! In 2020, I left a fast-paced corporate life in Boston for a gentler pace in Maine, relocating with my husband and two children to make more room for creativity and family time. OK fine, my husband got a job here, so we kinda had to move, and since it was Covid and I was 8 ½ months pregnant with our daughter, I decided to retire from my job…but it all worked out!
Anywho, what began as a simple passion for thrifting and vintage finds gradually blossomed into Second Hand Rose — an exciting way to surround myself (and others!) with the beauty, craftsmanship, and enduring design of the past. Who doesn’t love a colorful Pyrex bowl, am I right???!!!
My own Pyrex and vintage glassware shelf in my dining room — I use it, too!
