When youâre ready to shop, keep in mind a few thrifty tips, inspired by Kadie Pangburnâs âA Home Is Announcedâ blog:
¡ Instead of shopping randomly, make a list of specifics youâd like to find for your interior â such as lighting, decorative pots or a casual reading chair.
¡ See the style by imagining what that particular item might look like in your home. Bring a tape measure (just in case!), and pack a few paint chips and fabric swatches, so you can see how the item might look within what youâre planning.
¡ Locate second-hand stores in the area where youâd like to shop â handily, they often are clustered near each other â and plan your route, so you can hit several in one trip.
¡ If you land on one or more favorite thrift shops, find out if they have a restock day â then go early, so you can get in and see which old merchandise is new (or at least, fresh for that store!).
