First off let me tell you how much I LOVE Nate Berkus. I have been following his work for close to 10 years now. I have some of his books and have often dreamed of working with him as an interior design student. That being said, you can imagine how excited I was when he did a collaboration with Target. It has been SO hard for me not to buy all of his collection from Target. You all know how savvy cheap I can be when it comes to buying things. Therefore it was hard for me to justify spending money on buying any of this things from Target.
Fast forward a few months…As I've told you before, items that don't sell at Target are donated to Goodwill. So needless to say I ended up scoring some Nate Berkus items at Goodwill for less than half the price! *happy dance*
I found this rug just last week while at a trip to Goodwill. It is originally $130 from Target but I got it for $60! It's handwoven, super soft, and absolutely adorable.
I also found these Nate Berkus pillows at Goodwill that were originally $25 for $12. I wanted them from the moment I saw them at Target so I was SO happy when I found them at a thrift store. I also found that rad mid century lamp at Goodwill for $7. The lamp shade was a little dingy, so I just did a little Pinteresting and recovered it with this inspiration and this tutorial. I LOVE the way it turned out.
I also found this Nate Berkus bed spread set at Goodwill for $50, originally $90 at Target. The African woven basket hanging on the wall to the left was also thrifted for only $2!
These curtains, also originally from Target for $30, were purchased at Goodwill. To be honest, I don't remember how much I bought them for, but again it was meant to be. I wanted some simple white and mustard yellow curtains and had seen these at Target, but didn't want to pay full price for 2. So I waited and found them at Goodwill for a better price! YAY!
You've probably started to notice a trend by now that I buy a lot of Target merchandise from Goodwill. Well, here is one more example. This cute little yellow pillow was originally from Target for $25 but I scored it for $10!
I have been searching for these handwoven baskets for a long time now but couldn't find one at a reasonable price, and low and behold, I found one at Goodwill for $6 people! It doesn't get much better than that!
You really are the best thrifter!!! Not just that you find great things, but you find great things that all look amazing together!
ReplyDeleteFYI: Target does not "donate" their items to Goodwill, they sell them to Goodwill. I have seen Target items at Goodwill with a Target clearance sticker and a pink Goodwill sticker that is priced HIGHER than the Target clearance price. Goodwill has gotten completely out of control with pricing their items. I live in Southern California and Goodwill prices here are outrageous.
