When thinking green, I like to think reusing vs. recycling. And nothing speaks to the ethos of this mindset more than searching thrift shops, garage sales and Craigslist to find modern gems for your home. Sometimes you just have to go new too - like I wouldn't want to buy a bed someone else has slept on, right? But there are many things you can find for your home that have a pricey slick look without breaking the bank. Here are just a few items, I've found for far less than what you might think.
1. Mid Century Modern parquet coffee table and ceramic vase
I found the coffee table on Craigslist. It was one of those times I didn't even try and get the price lower. The owner was asking $25. It was one of those times my heart skipped a beat when I saw it. Yes, I have issues. No chips in the parquet inlays and sweet metal mid century stick tapered legs sat perfectly with the rest of my mid century and contemporary decor. TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS!!! I found the perfectly round little ceramic vase at a local garage sale for the rich price of $1...yes ONE DOLLAR! Total cost for this look - $26.00
