As a newish homeowner I’ve been decorating on-and-off for months. As part of my desire to live a greener lifestyle and let’s be honest, have a stylish, unique home, I partake in vintage shopping. Not only is it reusing and recycling, two green principles, I get awesome stuff for a steal!
Here’s a sampling of the goodies I’ve picked up the last two trips to Sleepy Poet, my absolute favorite vintage shop in Charlotte. Sleepy Poet, by the way, has seriously stepped it up in the last few months and their styling has become much better. If you haven’t visited in awhile or felt overwhelmed the last time you were there I recommend you check it out again.
A perfect storage console. It has a travertine top, tightly woven rattan doors, ample amounts of storage and amazingly fits in our hallway perfectly.
Blenko Glass candlestick holders.
A fun mixed drink or iced tea pitcher. Way prettier than all clear glass.
Faux bamboo brass picture frame and solo sterling silver candleholder. (That’s the stock picture that came in the frame. Something else will be replaced soon!)
Now here’s the kicker, would you believe if I told you all of this together cost less than $225?! Yep, it’s true! Vintage shopping is green and economical!
Happy shopping!
