Founded in 2003, Rejuvenated Furniture and Finds “upcycles” vintage furniture, giving it new life through a refurbishing process. Need a china cabinet for your dining room? A cozy country desk for your study? A conversation-starting coffee table? Go here and get it for a bargain.

With locations all around the city, Jinxed is bursting at the seams with second-hand finds of all kinds, including furniture. While scoping things out in person is always ideal, not everyone has the time to hop from store to store in their search, which is why the Instagram account for Jinxed is so helpful. Whenever they have super cool pieces of furniture, they post them for sale there first — so you can easily shop while you’re waiting in line for coffee or from the comfort of your bed on a rainy weekend morning.
