Second Hand Store Finds

Wednesday, May 11th, 2011

There’s a funny paradox in the world of interior decorating that’s worth noting. When a decorator picks up an item like nautical home decor and pays a hefty price for it, that item is an antique. Now when an ordinary person picks up that same decoration at a garage sale for three dollars, it’s junk.

Many people have a funny way of looking at used items, but if a person can get past their initial trepidations, second hand and thrift stores are full of amazing items at a fraction of the price you’ll pay at an antique store.

Thrift shops and garage sales offer up an unpredictable assortment of items from gently worn leather jackets to one of a kind metal wall decor. Every person has a different level of comfort with they’re willing to buy from these outlets. Some people have no problem buying second hand bedding. Other people would buy a used couch but wouldn’t even consider buying used baby quilts.

But if you’re willing to a little digging around, and haggling, second hand outlets regularly give up the diamond in the rough. At the end of the day, interior decorators should fill homes with items that people like and not worry about where they came from, or how little they cost.
