W HERE W E SHOP I would say about a fourth of our pieces are thrifted from areas around town such as Saver’s, The Arc, Now and Then Shoppe (my personal favorite), Reed and Taylor Antiques, The Boy’s Ranch, Goodwill or from my parents’ basement. Our investment pieces such as our bed-frame and living room set that we know we will have for a lifetime are from Scan Design in Fargo and West Elm.
HOW I T H R IF T Don’t be intimated! Thrifting is a fun and creative hobby for me now. My thrifted pieces have quickly become my favorite items in our apartment. They add an unexpected flair to our otherwise simplistic home. I like to make mood boards of rooms, trends and designs I
love and then identify the reoccurring shapes, styles, textures and color schemes. When I go out to the thrift stores, I keep those in mind as I rummage through. If a vintage piece doesn’t fit those qualifications, it’s a no-go. When I find a piece that ticks all the marks, I take it home and try it out.
