No.5: Thrift

Start visiting your local thrift/antique stores, and find a vintage pattern to fall in love with. I became obsessed with blue and white chinoiserie years ago and have loved collecting it over the years. Use unique pieces as planters. It doesn’t have to be a pot to work like one! While you’re at it, pull out your grandmother’s silver, and enjoy your nice jewelry too; I do! Displaying and using sentimental pieces will inspire you to keep everything else up too.
