I love DI !!!! The only thing is you have to go often to find what you're looking for. I redecorated our entire apartment with DI finds... $ 3 for curtains, $2 for picture frames, $5 for lamps. The thing is, you have to have a vision of what things could look like. I spray paint the lamps that I get there and then buy new lamp shades for them at BigLots.
Sometimes you can get nice lamp shades there. I've also gotten really cute black pencil skits for work. You just have to dig through stuff, be patient (go often), and have a vision of how you can make a lot of the old stuff look new again.
