Is it REALLY Thursday??
Where has this week gone?
I thought I would share with you some of my favorite thrifted finds
throughout my house. Of course, with it being "event season"
at my full time gig as a non-profit director...
I didn't take pictures until late in the evening.
I discovered two things...
LIGHTING MATTERS
and
I am NOT a photographer.
I readily admit that I do NOT have the "eye" with the camera.
Maybe a photography course is in my future.
So, forgive my ineptitude with a camera, and
just admire my finds from the Goodwill.
I thought we would start in my bedroom this week...
All the plates above my bed are thrift finds from Goodwill.
I purchased the mirror at Target on clearance & one day
decided to take the plate from the center of the arrangement
and replace it with the mirror.
I like it.
It's unexpected and fills in the space.
The whole arrangement came in under $25!
The mirror tray, the glass vase & the books were all thrifted.
I love trays.
They are perfect for groupings.
And, make things look tidy.
I dig that.
I grab vintage books wherever I can find them for cheap!
This lamp was too short for the items arranged around it.
By placing it on top of a couple of books...
it becomes just the right height.
Glass vases are in abundance at the Goodwill.
I like to buy ones with more unusual shapes.
I filled this one with shells I collected on a trip to the Gulf Coast.
This is a thrifted frame.
I shared a little about it on Tuesday on the blog.
And, I created the glass stand by gluing a candlestick
& plate together that I thrifted. I picked up the cloche while I was out thrifting too.
If you can't tell....I have a thing for cuffs!
I am a lover of words.
And, the cuffs let me wear things that are meaningful to me.
I showcase them in an old wooden cash register drawer.
I actually did a dumpster dive for this one.
I'm not to proud to grab someone's trash & make it my treasure.
I gave it a coat of cream paint so the cuffs really
POPPED!
And, don't y'all just love the Target Dollar Spot???
I picked up several of these fake succulents this past spring for $3 a piece.
And, I can't kill them.
Because I can't take pictures & I can't keep plants alive.
See, AWFUL lighting.
I picked up the shelf at Goodwill & gave it a coat of paint.
The little water colors I found at Bella Patina in the West Bottoms.
I love water colors!
They might be my favorite paint medium.
While not a thrift find, I did grab the bird hook on clearance.
I hung a basket from it.
It houses all my charging cords & a couple of books.
Keeps some of the clutter off my nightstand.
I first came up with the idea in my last house when my room arrangement
didn't allow for a nightstand on one side of the bed.
So, the basket held what I needed instead.
Pretty slick.
The wreath if from the talented Anna (@feltit on IG).
She makes the most amazing creations.
I was lucky enough to purchase a few of her wreaths through
an instasale. I gave a couple away for gifts, but couldn't part with this one.
The wall art is all Hobby Lobby clearance.or was purchased with
the 40 % off coupon. Cuz if you buy anything at HL at full price...
you are a little nutso.
Just WALK ON BY if it isn't on sale or you already used your coupon,
because I guarantee...it will be on sale next week.
Am I right?
So, there ya have it...
Thriftalicious Thursday.
Make it TERRIFIC!
