Currently, I'm living in Germany where thrift stores are NOT a thing. I miss my local thrift store and completely transforming a "hunk of junk" into a glamorous (sometimes) custom piece of art. Right now I have no work area so all my projects have to be minimal. Can't wait to get back to the states and get back into DIY mode!

Also, as a big fan of thrift store shopping I couldn't agree more about not being a hoarder; it is so easy to be seduced into what seems like a cool purchase at the store and then to realize at home one has no idea what to do with the item!

My rule is that if I have no immediate need for it (unless it's really awesome) it doesn't come home with me. Outside of shopping, I even have the occasional hard time throwing things away - "gosh, that's a really nice box, I should save it for...." *eyeroll* On a general note, I haven't seem them all but your site really stands out for the usefulness and quality of your DIY projects!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-47306948416023076942013-06-06T20:29:06.270-04:002013-06-06T20:29:06.270-04:00Now you have really put me in the mood for a trip ...Now you have really put me in the mood for a trip to the thrift store!
