With income tax season fully in swing, I'm taking the time to really get our house the way I've always wanted it. I love decorating and I never got the chance to do so with this apartment because of, well, LIFE!
We moved into our old apartment and of course everything we had was things that others had kindly given us and then we moved into our current apartment and life got crazy with a screaming 3 month old who is now a toddling 13 month old!
I can FINALLY decorate and organize to my hearts desire and with being five months pregnant now, I want to get this all done before new little baby arrives. (And because I know that my OCD nesting phase will shortly be arriving as well.)
So I just wanted to make a quick post on something that I really LOVE doing. I love thrift store shopping! I know what some of you are thinking...ew, gross. TOTALLY NOT GROSS. Let me tell you something about a little place called Goodwill...
Goodwill is great because they ALWAYS have things from Target and sometimes even Wal-Mart. The home decor from Target is usually always brand new and in boxes. I'm talking everything from coffee tables (which is where we got ours, 200$ in the store and I got ours for 30$ at Goodwill BRAND NEW in the box), dinnerware, linens, decorative pillows, TONS of lamps and shades, and odds and ends that will complete any and every home.
I just got Jaylen a canvas toy chest from there and I paid 14$. I went snooping around Target today and saw the SAME one for 35$! When I got is from Goodwill it was brand new and in the original packaging.
If you go on Sundays they usually have about 4 colored tickets that are marked at 50% off.
If you go to the Salvation Army (which is COMPLETELY different) Wednesdays are your 50% off day. Usually everything but 1 colored ticket is half off.
I like to hit up these places about once every week when I'm re-doing the house. You have a dig a little bit but usually you can find some great stuff!
