Seek Inspiration

Thrift stores can be overwhelming, especially when looking through the home decor. I recommend using Pinterest to find inspiration and create mood boards. This will help you successfully sift through all of the items and will also prevent you from taking home a piece you don't genuinely want or need.

Repurpose / Up-cycle

It is important to look for potential when thrifting for home decor. Many items, specifically antiques, can be brought back to life with a simple coat of paint, reupholstering, or new hardware.

Go Often

Most thrift stores update their inventory several times a day.. this means you could be checking back once a day if you are up to it! Remember, it takes time and patience to find the home decor treasures you are looking for!

Not sure what pieces you should be looking for? Here's a list of some items you can find at almost any thrift store:

- Vases

- Frames

- Wall Art

- Planters

- Baskets
