I was recently surfing the web for decor inspiration for my apartment when I came across the Anthropologie At Home page. I found some beautiful items with the vintage flair I love so much. The price, however, was way outside my decorating budget. I wanted to find a way to achieve the look, without spending a ton of money and still keeping “green”. It made total sense to hit my favorite shopping spot in Houston: 19th Street in the Heights.
Continuing my Thrifting the Heights tour from a couple of weeks ago, I decided to visit Grace Hart and Co Antiques, a great antique co-op with a variety of sellers. You can find just about anything at this resale store: books, art, jewelry, furniture, clothes, and housewares. After all, the designers and buyers at Athropologie are visiting antique stores and flea markets for ideas and inspiration.
Keeping the aesthetic of Anthropologie in mind, I started my digging at the front of the store and worked my way around to the next room, stopping every few seconds to check something out. My first find was an adorable owl mug that looks almost exactly like these owl sake pots from Anthro.

It really wouldn’t be Anthropologie without more adorable Owl accessories:

If cute owl aren’t your thing, there are a ton of tea-sets all over the antique shop that match that Anthropologie style:

For entertaining options, Anthropologie has a variety of simple and feminine plates:

Another popular trend at Anthropologie is colored glassware in green or blue. The Antique shop has a TON of these, for a fraction of the price.

One of the signature styles at Anthropologie is to use pretty plates as wall decor. At the antique shop, I found this metal plate rack that can be hung in a dining room or kitchen to display collectible plates.

Another popular look from Anthropologie are animal wall hooks and racks. One seller at the antique store had some adorable wood and brass hook racks that would fit this look.

For decorating a bathroom, Anthropologie sells vanity towels with a vintage mirror graphic. At the antique store, I found small vintage mirrors that can be hung on a wall to achieve the same aesthetic.

I think I like the furniture at Anthropologie more than anything else they sell. The items are interesting and unique. I tried to look for similar pieces at Grace Hart and ended up with some great finds.

While all my finds weren’t EXACT replicas, they still embody the feminine vintage style Anthropologie sells. You can start by browsing the Anthro website for decor ideas and keep them in mind when you hit the antique shops in your city. Take your time and treat it like an adventure and you’re bound of find something unique.

Many people think that you mean wire hangers when you mention metal hangers. But, metal hangers are very strong, have a polished look, do not snag and a sculpted flat design. Using metal hangers in your closet gives it a modern feel. This is truly the hanger for the minimalist, or for the person simply trying to make space. The flat design helps clothing take up less space than any other hanger, without sacrificing strength, durability or style.
Over the door shoe organizers are an excellent place to start when it comes to saving space with shoe organization. These products made of are simple sheets of fabric with pouches that hang over your door and store anywhere from ten to thirty pair of shoes, depending on the model. The over door shoe organizer is a nicer version of this simple product. Rather than just simple pouches, it has plastic compartments that keep the shoes safe from dust, dirt and moisture. This particular model can hold up to thirty pairs of shoes easily on almost any door in your home.

@Marco I know what your mean. In todays economy its hard to find a company to work for that pays good and is stable . I have discovered that if you just work hard and are consistent you can go places . Look at the author of this article, they are oviously a hard worker and have just been consistent over time and are now enjoying at least what would appear as somewhat of a success. I would encourage everyone to just keep hustling and moving forward.
