One rainy day last week, the hubs and I decided to drive in the rain to go to a thrift store to search for a coffee table. I’ve been searching and browsing for coffee tables online some of which had such ridiculous prices that I told the hubs we’d go to a thrift store first before we buy anything. There were cheap ones online too, but we didn’t like what we saw.
This thrift store was huge, what could be considered a mega thrift store and it’s called, The Regeneration Station. I’ve been wanting to check the place since the time I heard about it. But apparently, this is not just your ordinary thrift store. Most of the pieces that they sell are antiques. And when you talk of antiques, the price can be really pricey. So pricey that we left without a coffee table in hand because their coffee tables were just not in our budget. Not yet, anyway. Maybe when we win the lottery. 🙂
But I definitely enjoyed the time that the hubs and I spent there. It is located in a huge warehouse and there were a lot of amazing antique stuff in different stalls sold by different sellers. Do you know the show Fixer Upper on HGTV? I love that show and I felt like I was Joanna Gaines while I was checking all those antique pieces. The photos below were just a little of what was in there.
Such a cool looking electric fan! Love it!
Pretty yellow furniture!
Not sure how old this gas pump is but I don’t think they looked like this when I was little. This is probably much older than I am. 🙂
See that round coffee table? So simple looking yet so pricey!
I think my grandparents used to have this kind of radio. So cute!
There were a lot of things in this stall and I didn’t know which ones to look at or check first.
That was really a good time at the thrift store, not to mention a good exercise for the hubs and I too because there was definitely a lot of walking involved in that huge store. 🙂
Do you love going to thrift stores? Do you love antiques?
Sometimes it is nice to just look and browse around! Maybe you can find inspiration in a refurbished item and try your hand at re-purposing a not-so-good table! Looks like you guys had a great time though!
I love hitting the thrift store. You never know what good stuff you will find there.

Oh my goodness, that is the cutest thrift store! I love how they have it all set up, and what treasures!
Those are things are vintage! I like the idea of thrift store. So glad you hared it.
OH man, that gas pump is awesome. I just came across a huge boy and girl lamp that I LOVED at a thrift store. It was $1200. Out of my league right now, for sure.
Great post! I love looking at little things that I may find interesting and vintage knick knacks! You can find some great things while just spending some time looking around.
I love thrifting, but lately it seems that everything is overpriced. Stores try to sell things as antiques, but if it’s not at least 100 years old, then it’s not a true antique.

I love going to thrift stores. If it would be antiques I would be getting, I’d go for chests, drawers, or china cabinets. I love wood furniture! The place you went to sure had a lot of nice items! They’d make great conversation pieces.
I love thrifting! I developed a love for thrift stores and antiques when I was a child, thanks to my mom.
We have an awesome thrift store by us and I always find cool stuff. Looks like you had a great experience with this particular one and found some great stuff!
Thrift stores are great treasure boxes for great and unique finds. I also love shopping into those rather than the luxurious stores.
Wow – it looks like you found some awesome antiques at your thrift store! I love shopping at thrift stores because their are so many unique things you can find at great prices!
