In my last post I
shared my Room Design & Organizing Plan with you, since then I have
found a few terrific items at my local thrift store that will look great in my living
room! With the economy the way it is, buying used is a great way to save
money! I love shopping at thrift stores for awesome finds that
I normally wouldn't be able to afford.
When shopping
secondhand it is best to go with a plan and know what you are looking for ahead of time. If you find that special item you have
been searching for, you need to first make sure it will fit in the space and
through your front door. Having a detailed shopping list with dimensions will
insure that your new purchase does not inevitably get
stuck in your home’s stairwell. I keep a list in my wallet, that way I
have all of my dimensions with me whenever I make an unexpected stop at a thrift
store or yard sale. I also keep a small zippered pouch in my car that holds all of my thrifting
musts: tape measure, small magnifying glass and hand sanitizer. If I’m
trying to coordinate with something I already have, I take photos with my smartphone of the fabric and colors I need to match. You
can really find some amazing treasures if you go with a goal in mind. Let's
Thrift!

ReplyDeleteGLOVES!!! Either non-latex disposable for the dusty items or thrift stores that aren't apart of a chain and they don't do a thorough pre-clean of their items or gardening/construction gloves if I'm hunting at a Habitat ReStore or looking for big pieces of furniture.
