Consignment Shopping


For the past few weekends I have spent my days going from consignment store to consignment store looking for furniture to reupholster for my new apartment. I have found a new love in going and seeing what I can transform into a beautiful piece. Last Sunday I found two gorgeous slipper chairs at consignment heaven and am now trying to pick out a fabric for them. Last Saturday I also found a couch at consignment galleries. It is an older couch but it is so comfortable that I am thinking about moving it into my room for now and using it as my bed. I am so excited to get it recovered. I bought a natural colored linen fabric yesterday, so I am one step closer to being done with the first project. I also found a little sitting stool that I am going to spray paint and have a new pillow made for it to go in my closet. I am so excited to be able to buy furniture that I love and that is going to look great. If anyone ever needs someone to help decorate their place I would love to help. It would be nice to actually use one of my degrees at some point in my life.
