Today was loooong, but the beautiful weather made up for it. And, I snuck in a 5 minute nap on a grassy hill while the boy I babysit was off playing with his friends (shhhh). I got off work much later then usual, but managed to fit in a 20 minute jog and some pushups before collapsing at the table with a big bowl of cereal and a pb + j. I’ll be so glad when my long Wednesdays are finished in just 3 short weeks!
So, I mentioned I’ve been doing some online furniture browsing. Our new place is much bigger than the current one (!!!!!), which means we need to fill it up with stuff. We’re obviously on a bit of a budget though, so I’ve been looking for unique small pieces to spice up all of the extra space. And I’m finding a bazillion accent tables that I love. Thoughts?
I’m also planning to check out Durham consignment stores for interesting stuff. Any NC locals have good ideas for inexpensive furniture?

They are not reliable unfortunately. World market is for sure a good place to look. Urban outfitters is always good too. They have fun stuff that you can count on! Good luck!

May 30, 2011 at 11:09 pmI second the commentor above that World Market has some awesome finds… as do the locally owned consignment shops! Ikea is here in Charlotte and although i don’t like their actual pieces of furniture (too modern looking, not sure if it’ll hold up, etc…) they have GREAT organizational pieces and tools!
