One of the most fun ways to add charm to any space is to go on a "Treasure Hunt". As a kid, I would go to yard sales with my mom and family members and I couldn't understand why anyone would want to pay for someone else's "junk". Obviously, as a grown-up, I LOVE a yard sale and look at them totally differently.
Now, I have somewhat of a sense of what items are worth, and how items can be styled or re-purposed, thanks to magazines and Pinterest, and it's quite the adventure to go see what you can find. Usually, finding fabulous deals and one-of-a-kind items brings up the level of charm in a space. Another place I love to shop is the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store. I usually find great light fixtures and key pieces to add character to my home. If anything, maybe wander through and get those creative juices flowing on how you can re-purpose an item in your space.
The coolest homes I've seen are the ones that have incorporated some old and new elements... the not-so "cookie-cutter" house. Spring not only brings flowers. It's also yard sale season! So, hop on Gsalr.com to locate some yard or garage sales near you, make a route, and go on your very own treasure hunt!
