Amazing Thrift Store Find!!!
Sometime last week, my mom and I went to the thrift store just to see if they had anything doll-ish there. We checked the back first, where they have stuffed animals and sometimes dolls, but didn’t find anything interesting. Then we went to the front to look at the dolls that are behind the counter- we found an Our Generation Doll and a Bitty Baby!! We were going to buy the Our Generation Doll, but realized that it wasn’t that much cheaper than buying it from Target, so we passed on her (but yes, we did buy the Bitty Baby!). As we were looking around, still trying to find an AG doll, I looked down and saw………
Mia’s Bedroom Furniture!!!!!!! I nearly had a heart-attack!!! Unfortunately, it was $99.99. Too much money for us to spend.
But, when we bought the Bitty Baby, they gave us a coupon for 50% off anything that was only good to use Tuesday or Wednesday. So on Tuesday we went and I was hoping that the furniture would still be there! This time we went straight to the counter and there it was. I told my mom that I could put around $30 towards it, that way she would end up only spending $20- it was a deal!
So here it is!! We bought it for only $50!!! Mia’s Bedroom Furniture was originally sold from American Girl for $125 and included the chair, mattress, and pillow. All is included, except for the pillow. We also looked it up on eBay just to see how much it was selling for- I could easily sell it for around $300, but I’m keeping it 😛
The chair is so adorable and I love the roomy desk area!
On this side, it has two drawers that open and close, as well as a little closet/cabinet.
The door to the closet/cabinet has a mirror inside and four shelves. This is a great piece of furniture for storing things! 😀
The bed pulls out and the mattress unfolds to fit on the bed. It can also be pushed in, and the mattress velcros closed to make a seat 🙂
I have always loved this set and thought it would be such a neat thing to have, so I am VERY happy to have this!! I had a lot of work to do on it, but I am very happy with the way it turned out. I will be posting more photos of it all new and clean tomorrow and pictures of the Bitty Baby will be coming soon as well 😀
What do you think of Mia’s Bedroom Furniture?

That’s an amazing find! I’ve always liked the piece, as I’ve found it so useful and just cool! The desk is just great, and the storage is fantastic!
Thanks! I can hardly believe that it was there! 😀
Yes, it’s a very nice piece of furniture! I especially love all the storage that this included 🙂

Oh my gosh!!!! That’s awesome!! 😀 And a bitty baby too? Wow, those things are pricy!
I’m so happy for you!
Once I found a bitty at a garage sale for only $1 !!!! I was like screaming my head off, literarily!! 🙂
~AGgirl

Oh, my gosh that’s awesome!!!! 😀

That’s amazing! I’ve always loved her bedroom furniture – it’s on my dream AG wishlist.
I found some pretty cool stuff at thrift stores. Once I found Samantha’s school desk from Pleasant Company. I was ecstatic. We didn’t buy it, though. I was bummed out. :-/ Oh, well. 😛
I also (just this past week) found a Stardust Classics doll Laurel the Woodfairy! She is so cute. I got her for about $15. I checked on Ebay and she wasn’t even for sale on there! When it’s not on Ebay, you know it’s valuable. XD But she is worth like $200 for collectors! I was just like, OMRUBERRDUCKIES! And she is so cute, too! 😀

Wow! What a great find! I wish the goodwill near me had ag stuff.
Thank you!! I totally understand that. We’ve been going to this Thrift Store for a long time and only just this year began to find a few AG things. You have to make sure to dig, dig, dig, and keep your eyes open! You never know what you may stumble across! 🙂

That’s awesome! I found my two BFC inc. dolls at a thrift store. What bitty baby was it?
Thank you! Oh, that’s so cool! The Bitty Baby was actually the same one I have and she’s really old, too! 🙂
~Jaclynn~
Oh my gosh! What an awesome find! Ooh, and a bitty baby? Can’t wait for pictures!
I know, right? It was so awesome! 😀

But oddly, I have never heard of this set before. Huh. 🙂
I can’t believe you didn’t tell me about this! I think I got you to like thrift stores now 😉 That is an awesome find and an incredible deal!
Oh, my gosh!! I should’ve told you!! I don’t know what’s wrong with me 😛
LOL! Yeah, I think you did, Jen! 😀 Yeah, it was! It was so exciting!!
