One of my favorite past times (without children) is browsing local consignment and thrift stores, particularly on a leisurely Saturday (which are few and far between in this season of life!)
Books at GoodStuff Consignments in Bon Air
Glass bottles in all the perfect colors spotted at RVA Antiques
There are so many treasures to be had. I rarely buy unless I'm looking for something specific (minimalist here!), but it's fun to think about the stories that each piece would tell. I find a good deal of inspiration as I wander, in colors and textures, styling and mixing.
Buying secondhand is much easier on the budget and the environment, so it's my preferred method of making a room unique. Layering over time will make each space in your so much more meaningful.
If you want to get out this weekend in RVA, click here for a "secondhand finds" map around Richmond, VA so you can plan a trip in one area and hit up several place at once!
