What's Your Favorite Spot to Score Deals on Décor?

July 12, 2010

This weekend at a swap meet I scored some hard-to-find wine crates for next to nothing, as well as two barely used oversized mirrors for only $25 (for both!). When it comes to thrift shopping for home décor items, I like to cover all my bases, perusing Craigslist, scoping out antique shops, and stopping at yard and garage sales. But I'm wondering, where do you find the best pieces on the cheap?

The BEST FLEA MARKET that I have ever been to was "THE WAGON WHEEL" in St. Petersburg, Florida hands down.

First Monday Trade Days in Canton, Texas is the largest you will find anywhere around. Acres and Acres of land and around the city itself you will find all the antiques, jewelry, clothes, furniture, glassware, animals and just about anything else your heart desires. Check it out sometime!!! You will be amazed! ! ! It is the First Monday Weekend of each month and gates open on Friday morning, Saturday morning, Sunday morning and Monday morning. It will take you the entire day of each day to walk all over it and then you may miss something!!

All of the above. I love to get stuff from any of the above, redo it and then resell it at a profit.

Yard sales, especially in eclectic/artsy neighborhoods in town. You know that article on here recently about Bouldin Castle (http://www.casasugar.com/Austins-Bouldin-Castle-Has-Royal-Texas-Flair-8850546)? Believe it or not, I went to a yard sale yesterday, and the family holding the garage sale just happened to be the design team who renovated the castle and turned it from a church into residential property. They even sold some neat items from the church, which was built in 1925! I also love vintage/antique stores in various small towns around Texas. Oh, and antique shows are amazing.

In the grass next to my apartment's trash dump. That is where everyone throws their unwanted furniture/home decor stuff.

While I am a big fan of Craigslist and several of the other sources you have mentioned my favorite haunts are thrift stores and curbside. It is the thrill of the hunt, you never know what you will find.
