THRIFT STORE FINDS + STYLING IN MY HOME

Hey guys, welcome back to my channel. Today I'm going to be sharing some of my thrift finds and then also showing you how I style them around the house. There is no makeover today. I'm actually leaving every single item as is, and I know that's gonna surprise a lot of you. So I thought this would be a fun little switch up since typically I'm always painting everything that I buy. I will be able to show you how I style almost every single thing for the most part. There are a few things that I will need to hang up and I don't have the strength or ability to do it myself. And my husband is not in town right now. So some of these things you'll have to use your imagination but I'll still kind of explain what my plans are with each of these things. All right, so this is a full week haul of finds. Starting with this one down here. This is a really tall mirror and I've been looking for something to hang up in my living room. It is so heavy though. I swear it's at least 20 pounds. So that's something that I'm going to need help with hanging but I'll show you kind of the idea of where I want to put this. So right here, this wall right here is the first thing you see when you walk in our house. So I thought I might wanna hang it here. This is where I'm going to try to hang it. So yeah, that's my idea of where I wanna put it. But as far as price goes, this was only four bucks and I felt like that was a huge steal. I might put a wreath on it. I don't know, we're gonna stick it up there and then I'll decide from there. Okay, next moving on to these cute little lamps. I got both of them for six bucks and I want to style them on just both of my little end tables that I have in my living room. And speaking of end tables, I picked this one up to go next to my love seat. I feel like that is the cutest little end table and it's the same color wood that I've bought everything else in the living room. So I'm just going to clean it up and then leave it as is. Okay, I saw these cute little cross-stitch pieces and I thought they were so adorable. And for 50 cents a piece, I just couldn't pass it up. So I love the color wood for the frames and yeah, 50 cents, you guys. I will just be styling these in my living room. Oh, and I forgot to tell you, this was 15 for this little end table. Then this basket, I know you probably already saw this displayed. You guys, this was only 75 cents. Are you kidding me? Look at that basket. I'm telling you, you never want to get baskets anywhere but thrift stores. Since we're speaking of baskets, I also wanted to show you this one. This was a dollar, which I thought was kind of funny since this one just is a lot bigger. So I'm going to stick this one up on my mantel, I think. And then I do have an idea for this one. This one was 50 cents. Okay, these little candlesticks, I actually have an idea to use them during the 4th of July. It's kind of hard to see with the lighting, but they're maroon with like a hue of blue. So I feel like, like I said, during the 4th of July, this would be really cute to display. So that's why I don't want to paint them. Speaking of the 4th of July, I think that because I found this basket today and it is so cute. I'll pull this out in a second. My mind was just kind of on the 4th of July. This is the next thing that I saw. So I picked up all three of these for a dollar. And yeah, let me show you this basket. Look how cute the interior is. Oh my gosh. My idea is to either put some kind of throw in here and have it like drooping out, or maybe like a plant. I'm not a hundred percent sure. But my idea is to put this on our little dining table with a few other things. I just think that this will be really cute. Obviously I would be moving this plant, but yeah, that's kind of my idea. I'll show you, obviously, when it's closer to the 4th of July, what I end up doing with this. I thought this was a really cute decorative piece and I thought this would be cute on our little hutch. This was just $1.50. On the other side, it has these butterflies. Oh yeah, there's the price right there. I turned it around when I saw the butterflies and I'm like, okay, it's blank on this side. So I definitely will still pick this up. I also have an idea to put this on our hutch as well. And this one was just $2. So I like that, the color that it is as well. And this is also a little thing that I found for 75 cents. Again, with the 4th of July, I really don't have many 4th of July decorations, so I was kind of excited about that one. Okay, this might be one of my favorite finds of the week. Look how cute. And my idea for this, I'm going to stick this by my record player and I think that I'll have a plant drooping out of it. This one was actually five bucks, which is a little bit pricey for the DI. You guys already know that. Deseret Industries is super affordable. And then this one was a dollar. And I think I'll be putting this one on our hutch as well. And then this, I think all of this is going on my hutch. I should have just said that. Same idea, I thought it was cute because it's like a different color. It's like a greenish color. And I have that same idea of just like a plant drooping out of this. In the last house that we lived in, I bought so many of those like drooping plants. And that's one thing that I haven't gotten rid of when I've been decluttering. So thank goodness I have a ton of those kinds of plants. I just like the look of greenery around the house and like hanging out of things. And that might not be for everybody, but that's just kind of what I like. I wanted to just quickly add that if I have greenery on shelves like this, I will typically go like every other one. If all of the plants are over here, it just makes it look a little bit awkward and a little bit heavy on the plants. So this is just a little tip that I like to do is I'll just kind of crisscross my plants if I have multiple of them on the same shelf. Okay, there's one more thing that I am going to be redoing and I will show you guys just a sneak peek because I think I'm going to dedicate an entire video to redoing this piece of furniture. Ta-da! Look at this coffee table. It is so flippin' cool. So the top is really just not in the best shape. I'm going to be doing something different than I've ever done before. So I'm very excited to see how this turns out. And I was going to sell it, but I might see if this will work downstairs because we don't have a coffee table down there. So we'll see if it goes with the color that I'm painting it. And staining, I'm doing two different things. I'm going to stain part of it and paint part of it. So I will decide once it's done. But I'm really excited to show you how this turns out. This was only $15, so this will be up probably within the week or early next week. Can't wait to show you. Okay guys, well I think that's everything for this video. Thank you so much for watching. If you have not yet hit that red subscribe button, make sure that you do that. And we will see you in the next video. Bye!
