It is furnished with stuff that they call damaged. I think it is floor models or returns. We found some amazing deals there for our cabin. In fact, we purchased sofa, tables, chairs, TV cabinet and dining table all there. GREAT prices. I have kept thing really simple at our cabin. I want to go and relax not be constantly cleaning. It is more than a hotel, but maybe a glorified hotel room with some special things to make it look homey, but not cluttered.<br />So excited for you. I know you will enjoy it immensely.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-67984583202407965192017-05-11T10:10:27.796-04:002017-05-11T10:10:27.796-04:00It looks like you can go hiking right out your doo...It looks like you can go hiking right out your door. How fun is that?!! I LOVE the map, Richella. That would be me... needing something to sit on but buying something for my wall. I love the IDEA of thrifting... it works fine for wood pieces IF you don't mind the imperfection... but it takes forever. Here in MI finding good thrifted fabric covered furniture is really next to impossible. I purchased a love seat and chair for the temporary apartment... it was the best I could find in my area and well... "it'll do" is all I can say. Watch Craig's List... but again... it's hit or miss. I do think you'll do better because you live near a larger metropolitan area in the thrifting department. Whatever you do... make it a fun adventure not a burden. And again... Congrats!!

We live in NE GA but have a 2nd home in SW GA. It's very hot there, but really nice for winter visits. We go year round, because you've got to keep everything clean and nice. I'm so happy for you. I know you will have fun checking shops for special pieces. But my tip is always check out your Good Will and smaller privately owned shops. There's always the big stores, but you find the unique pieces in the smaller stores. I'd rather have things that not everyone else has, and I find them at our Good Will. Take advantage of discount days.<br />I'm anxious to see what else you've done!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04098902223786529522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-85163729466565649452017-05-10T21:21:51.657-04:002017-05-10T21:21:51.657-04:00Well, this just brings you so much closer to Green...Well, this just brings you so much closer to Greenville :) Congratulations on your beautiful new condo Richella. <br />Blessings,<br />PattiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02897728865673891051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-2956274729974852302017-05-10T16:10:32.482-04:002017-05-10T16:10:32.482-04:00Home Goods!

Beautiful area rugs, occasional furniture, pictures, bedding, housewares etc. I also scoured thrift stores. It was fun to decorate after living in the same home for over 30 years. Can't wait to see how you make this condo your own :-)Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714577523744715551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-2320796975507133282017-05-10T14:02:01.732-04:002017-05-10T14:02:01.732-04:00We live in the Charlotte area.

One thing to remember, when you see the clouds getting dark, rain is on its way, fast. Alot of times you don't have time to get inside before the rain comes but that's fine and the cool mornings are wonderful compared to Charlotte and Durham. Enjoy your new condoPattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17672020253345457425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-90864378608510086092017-05-10T08:07:36.976-04:002017-05-10T08:07:36.976-04:00Wow!

You can find some fabulous things at thrift stores, goodwill, salvation army and so on, so just buy a piece at a time. A couple of chairs for now and then piece by piece as you find them. Enjoy it all.Marty@A Stroll Thru Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12405504522777964549noreply@blogger.com
