Green Goose Resale
At resale shops, what has gone around, comes around, and, at these five local resale furniture shops that give a portion of their proceeds to the community, what goes around comes around again and again.
2171 S. Big Bend, 314-646-7737
This not-for-profit shop's inventory of furniture, home décor, and art in a variety of styles changes daily. Proceeds benefit the Miriam School, a private school for children with learning disabilities. Items generally sell quickly, but if something has been on the floor for 30 days, you get a 10 percent discount and after 60 days, it increases to 20 percent.
