At the start of 2022, I moved into a new spot in Rockville, MD, with a patio that’s the perfect canvas for all sorts of funky furnishings. Fitted with a mini garden space and roof, this outdoor oasis screamed, “decorate me!” as soon as I moved in.

Fast forward to now summer; the patio has come a long way! Every week, I’ve stopped at my local Goodwill locations in Rockville and Gaithersburg searching for planters, furniture, vases, and other one-of-a-kind décor pieces and have consistently struck gold. The one type of item that has been particularly difficult to find is wall decorations. That was until I found two pieces of my dreams on a hot Saturday morning at the North Rockville, MD Goodwill.

I found my first wall find (listed below) in the rugs section. At first, I didn’t notice it because the décor was rolled and taped up. Upon further inspection, I realized it was an intricate tapestry fastened a wooden bar. I carefully unrolled this beauty at the store, to reveal one of the most beautiful mirror-accented creations I’ve ever seen. For $9.99, there was no question that it was coming home with me.

My second macramé gem came out to the Goodwill store floor that morning – within minutes of me arriving, meaning that it was a fresh find for the taking. It was found in the miscellaneous section, a tried and true spot for all unexpected Goodwill finds you didn’t realize you needed.
