The world of thrifted treasures can unlock a realm of unique and budget-friendly items. Thrifting is not new, but it has changed in recent years.
While people may have before been shy to admit their joy of thrifting, it has become a trendy thing to do.
WHERE TO FIND THRIFTED TREASURES
Not only can thrifted items be found at second-hand stores, but also on Facebook Marketplace, Etsy, eBay and garage sales, too. And with a little luck, you'll find amazing deals at antique stores.
Instagram is also a treasure trove of furniture and home decor resellers, especially if you're after the mid-century modern aesthetic.
