Consignment Shop
Armadillo Consignment
12421 Greenwood Ave N
206.363.6700

Really nice, quality finds here at good prices:  Accesories, art, furniture, dishes, textiles Wayne is top-notch in customer service.  If he doesn't have it, he'll keep an eye open for you.  Told him what I wanted and that afternoon, I got an email from him that he got in what I was looking for!  Store is clean, well-organized and big enough for a good variety, yet small enough that you can catch Wayne's attention from across the room if you need help.  Tell him I sent you!

Textiles
OEco Textiles
Available at Terris Draheim, Seattle Design Center
5701 Sixth Ave S
Showplace #288
206.763.4100

They say it best:  Indulgent yet responsible.  Opulent yet organic.  Sensous yet sensible.  These fabrics are one of THE top eco fabrics you can get!  Sisters Patty and Leigh Ann spent 5 years researching the textile industry before starting OEco - and it shows!  They were just voted one of the Top 25 Innovators by Seattle Business Monthly magazine.  To top it off, Patty and Leigh Ann are very sweet, approachable and supportive.   You won't find the gals at Terris Draheim, though you will find their delicious fabrics!  For contact with the ladies, contanct their corporate office through their website

Affordable, New, Custom Sofas
Couch
3519 Fremont Pl N
206.633.6108

Owner Ameer has got it figured out.  You can get your custom on here for sure, without breaking your bank.  Have you ever wanted to combine styles and sizes of about 5 different sofas to get your perfect couch, without sucking your wallet dry?  Well, you can do that at Couch!  Start with an eco sofa base and from there, customize it as eco, or not, as you please.  Price point is $3k and below and the sofas both look and feel GREAT!

Goodwill Thrift Store
Seattle Goodwill Shoreline
14500 15th Ave NE
206.631.8454

I'm not sure why this one location has the best finds, but whenever I go there is always mass inventory of interior textiles, accessories, art, frames, dishes and sometimes, cool furniture.  It's like the untapped mecca!  You can even shop online now, though that selection is more limited to special collectors finds.  I decorated this table top with entirely second use finds, except the napkins, and some family items, which are more like third use, as I'm the third generation to use them!
