For you I have an incomplete list of some great thrift/antique spots in Sacramento and Davis:
The Antique Company on X street has a lot of furniture and other cute knick knacks.
Fringe which is right behind The Antique Company is equally adorable with some glamorous clothing and housewares.
Homestyle is in between The Antique Company and Fringe, and it has a little less vintage but still a good selection of furniture.
The 57th st Antique Mall in East Sac is well known for a great selection and good prices.
Summer Porch on J and 33rd has good service and quaint easy to find pieces.
The Shabby Shack on J and 37th is a little difficult to navigate, but their cute antiques are negotiable in price.
Of course The SPCA is always reliable, there is one in E st in Sacramento and one on 3rd st in Davis.
L Street Furniture in Davis has a reputation for being disorganized but having some great finds and they are open to bartering.
Seeing as I'm ridiculously poor, however, I have not bought a thing and have stuck to the extremely generous donations of my family and friends. Already I have my childhood bed, my childhood kitchen table, my best friend Hillary Livingston's old couch and her brother's old desk, and recently I discovered that I may inherit the dank, kushy, and original couch from Mat Carvalho's basement. So....anyone with some chairs coffee tables or bookshelves, I would love your old crap!! Haha, anyway, the parents have prevented me from buying anything new (though I did secretly buy an adorable antique jewelry music box and some flower power measuring spoons :p) so naturally I've had to scope it all out! Off the top of my head, here's some cute non hand-me-down stuff that I've been eying:
1. An adorable ashtray from Urban Outfitters.
2. A mosaic table that I am obsessed with from World Market.
3. A homage to Davis....this is from Urban Outfitters as well.
4. One of those super cool moon chairs...I couldn't find the exact one I like but they can be bought at World Market also.
5. This awesome wingback is from Anthropologie and comes in multiple cool colors and patterns.
6. This guy is one option for a sofa-bed...or in this case a chair/mattress bed from the one and only Ikea.
7. And finally, this is the sofa-bed I'd like to have...but yellow in this size would just be a bit much I think (especially since the 2 donated couches are already yellowish). This is of course from Ikea also.
I know, I'm typical of someone moving into their first apartment....and I love it. If you have any suggestions or donations for me and my soon to be home, please shout it out! Hope you enjoyed my neurotic ramblings and shopping
