I love beautiful things and thoughtful design. I also live in one of the most expensive cities in the country, and our family lives off a single income so that I can be at home with our kids. Patience and persistence have been the key to finding stylish things on a tight budget.

Tomorrow the UW Surplus Store will be holding their first public sale of the year. I have never been to one of these, in fact I didn’t even know about them until a few months ago, but I’m dying to go. Here are a few highlights from their inventory, though it sounds like they have quite a bit that isn’t listed on their site:Wood Office Chairs - $15–$25 eachYellow “Flammables” Cabinet - $175Round Tables - $15–$30 eachScandinavian Style Wood Chairs - $5 eachIf you don’t live in the Seattle area, but are located close to another university, it might be worth a check to see if they have similar auctions/surplus stores. This is a great resource for picking up some quality items that might otherwise be discarded. The UW Surplus store is open to the public every Tuesday from 12pm until 6pm and is located at 4515 25th Ave NE Seattle, WA 98105.
