    I always keep a smaller tape measure in my purse, 6', great for thrifting and estate sales; a regular one in the glove box of the car, for yard sales and found treasures on the side of the road. I also have 3" x 5" cards in my purse with all the measurements of rooms, certain walls, windows, furniture and color swatches.
    A buffet or side board, I doubt you're going to find something narrow at 10". I would think 15" -18" would be fine, so what if it sticks out a little bit.
    The little table is really cute, perfect and looks in good condition - score #1!

      I love the little tape measure my mom had in her purse ☺️

    I don't think you will find such a narrow 10" buffet. So whatever you buy, it will stick out. If you don't want that, you should put shelves in that space, and create a sort of bookcase. Or put doors in front.

      I think I could go up to 15” in that spot so I’ll keep trying to find something 🤞🏻

    The "half moon" table is called a demilune table.

    Love the salvation army in Portland!! I also look for the thrift shops that support causes-- some animal shelters have thrift shops that use the sales as donations for the animals! Have fun!❤

    You seem to have unrealistic expectations! Flexibility leads to happiness! 😂❤

      Unrealistic expectations? Nope I just have very specific spots in my apartment that won’t fit anything else, why would I buy furniture that doesn’t fit?

      @ I just mean that wooden furniture can be modified. But you were shopping pretty high end to modify! I meant no harm, I have just always made things work!

    The table is great! You can find lamps that use batteries

    Cool to hear Promises Promises @6:04!
    That song was a big hit way back in 84.

    I just discovered your channel and I live in Maine as well! Have you checked out The Willows flea market in Mechanic Falls? It’s big and they have decent prices and have a mix of furniture and lots of other things. There’s also a couple flea markets in Oxford that are fun and have furniture.

    That is pribably rattan in front doors. You don't need to close bar cart lid.

    Sounds like you need to get another apt, or learn how to flip furniture. There were a lot things you passed up you could flipped

    First of your videos I’ve watched, but while is everything a SITUATION? I do believe you’re overusing the word. Other wise I like the video but please drop using the word by so often, please!!!!
