Benefit One:
The most obvious reason for most to shop thrifty is cost. You have to out in some time when it comes to searching for those special vintage items but you can almost always score a good deal if you stick to it!
Benefit Two:
When you shop thrifty, you are also helping to preserve special relics from another time. If you have appreciation of where we've been then you can better appreciate where newer styles are going and the subtle differences between what is new and what is older,
Benefit Three
The benefit that I consider most important is the greener aspect of shopping for previously-owned items. Everything that we can do to help the earth is important. When you buy things used that is one less newer item that needs to be made. Not to mention that many things were made a higher quality than they are now because everything is mass produced overseas.
These are just a few benefits that I have listed so if you are still doubting I've included some visual examples of flea-market chic spaces that I know will make you reconsider...
Another thought for all of you thinking, "well, I doubt there is anything that suits my style".
Styles are being repeated all the time, weather in be in Interiors or Fashion. If your style is modern then mid-century modern style items could suit you. If you have a rustic style there are plenty of antiquities with lots of character that should work.
Plus, you can always find something to make new again with new upholstery or paint! :)
Into the idea but still might think you need some help?
