How to shop at a thrift store

  1. Great post. Totally agree about going alone. The one time I went with a friend that very scenario happened (not a tug of war but lots of regret) Never good.

    LOVE this…I totally agree about going by yourself…I’ve gone with friends before and it’s no bueno. Also, how disappointing is it when you flip an awesome vase over and see bath and body works label etc?

  3. I shop at Unique in my town, too. It’s funny– looks like the same selections!

  4. Great post! Definitely agree that taking a second (and third) lap can be very helpful in preventing you from missing a gem you may have overlooked the first time around!

Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.

On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.

Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]

round up of budget friendly bar carts

Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
