You know the people who always seem to find amazing things at thrift stores? That’s usually never me. I have gone to the Goodwill on Broadway at least three times in the past month, and the most exciting thing that I have picked up has been a glass Pyrex dish. Yesterday, however, the thrift store gods seemed to be on my side. I bought six items for $20 for my apartment, which I thought was pretty amazing.
I mostly picked up decorative items for above my sink. It was truly a magical thrift store experience. I walked up and down the aisles and in about ten minutes I had compiled this nicely coordinated set of items.
The entire look
The map printed shuffleboard box? $2.99. Well worth it. Another favorite find was a pineapple glass holder that is now sitting on my living room shelf.
I also found a really cool picture that completely does not match my decorating scheme. If I had any extra storage in my apartment, I actually would have bought it and kept it for the future. Somebody should go get it though!
Unfortunately, I’m now basically done decorating my apartment. I took my maps to a framing store today, and really all I have left to do is hang some curtains and get a desk. My decorating and thrifting services are available if anyone is interested. I’m halfway kidding. Now I can devote all of my free time to CrossFit and skiing!
Show some love:
