favorite thrift shop furniture ever : a steamer trunk with drawers and everything. it's probably the least practical way i could think of to store my underpants and stockings but i love it dearly.
i definitely vote for getting all kinds of fun things ! i love old stuff from second hand stores, and i've also found some amazing things out in the street... although, a friend of mine's old building was the absolute best for amazing furniture in the trash. i was always jealous that in comparison my neighbors had such terrible taste.
