I like to walk down the side of the creek in the mornings.
So that’s part of the reason I hadn’t been.I just bring back too much clutter.
And spend way too much, even though it’s all relatively cheap..The other reason is that I’m still a little freaked out by thrift stores sometimes.I know we all do it, but when I go in, I always feel like everyone’s watching me.
“What’s she doing here?This isn’t a place for her.” “Why is she pacing up and down the aisles like that?” And what if I run into someone I know in this small town on my way in?
How do I explain what I’m doing?
“Oh, I know I should be home weeding the garden and mopping the floors or maybe doing something normal like filling up the gas tank, but I really just like to go dig through other peoples old smelly junk.Plan to not have anything change to be exactly what you want for at least 10 years.
Buy the house that fits with that plan.First on your list should be a kitchen and at least one bathroom that feel clean and comfortable to you.
They should be updated enough that you can just move right in and use them, even if they’re ugly.You’ll also need a laundry room that you can use right away and somewhere cleanish and dry that you can store all of your stuff.
