You have to love a good charity shop. No offense, but our charity shops beat the pants off of DI.
Some of my recent favourite finds:
- A giant magnetic board with a gorgeous, bright red frame. I threw in a giant chalkboard sticker, and it's now the centre of Molly's creative station.
- Books. A lot of my standby reads, as well as some funky throw-aways. All 50p. Can't beat that.
- These beautiful plates. Don't they just make you happy? You may not be able to see it well, but they are the loveliest yellow, with a dusted gold rim. Sigh...
It might be hard to define my actual decorating style, but I pretty much refuse to buy anything new. I just love the feel of used -- it always feels to have a story behind it. Even if that story is simply that it sat in some old Granny's loft until she finally kicked, and her family donated it to the local hospice shop. And then it found its way home with me...
