Cottage Kitchen Styling | Curated Thrift & Vintage Haul

Hello and welcome back to my channel. Today we are going to a thrift and antique market to look for secondhand vintage cottage kitchen decor. I'm always keeping an eye out for items that are on my list and today I found my number one home decor item. So I hope you stick around for the haul to see what I got and how I styled my beautiful find. If you love this video give me a thumbs up and subscribe. Hope you enjoy! So I'm glad you're here for the haul. I'm going to show you some items that I got antiquing and thrifting so it's a combination of both in this haul. So let's just get right into it. So I'm going to start off with the most obvious piece that you saw a glimpse of. I finally found one of these. This has been at the top of my list for a long long time. I can't believe I found one of these. I found it in the antique stores pretty much when I walked in and it was sold immediately. I just love the wear and tear. You can see in the back here like all this patina. What I'm happy about is pretty much looks like all the little slats are intact which I'm pretty happy about. It even has the original handle there and you can see that gorgeous design on there. So I'm not sure where this is going to go. I just knew I had to have it and it's probably going to end up like mounted on a wall or maybe in a design on my fireplace or on my sofa table in the living room. So I thought I'd start off with a bang and show you this ultimate find. When I found this one I went and searched on Etsy to see you know what the price is going for these and this one says about $145 and you can see the one at the bottom there does have a handle but what I found was unique is that anything I saw online didn't have the rest of the drawer here. So I think I'm pretty happy with the price that I got this for. Let me know in the comments do you have one of these and how would you style it? So this haul is in no particular order. It's going to be thrifting and vintage items. So this particular piece I found at Salvation Army. You can see the maker's mark there and look at that crazing. Isn't that just stunning? I love it. So this piece I found for $6.99 and I just fell in love with this gorgeous blue transferware. I think I'm on a kick of blue. There's this really really nice ivy motif all the way around and this scalloped edge is what caught my eye along with the blue. It's quite a large platter and what I'm probably going to use this for is beautiful in the background of my hutch and I just couldn't pass this up for that price. I thought I'd just show you the next platter I found. It was $5.99 Value Village. Again there's that blue. This one is just I thought was really nice and again the scalloped edge. Beautiful pattern here and I did have my 20% off coupon and this one also had this mark on the back and it says The Sound of Music. I found this little brass box. I'm not quite sure what it is but it has like the holes in the top and around it like that. I love the little latch here. I found it for $6 in one of the booths in the antique market and so I'm not sure what it was for. It's a little beat up but I just thought it was going to be really beautiful styled on some books on a shelf. I even love the little handle there. Let's see if I can open that with one hand. No I can't. Okay give me a moment and I'll show you what it looks like inside. There we go. Definitely need two hands. You can see the beautiful patina. The box already said I was taking it home but when I opened it I love the patina there. It is brass and I thought again such a sweet little styling piece and it has a little sticker on it on the back. It says Made In. I'm not quite sure. It looks like it's been worn off but probably in India or something like that. If anybody can tell me what you think this box is for. So during my thrifting adventures I found this napkin holder at Value Village. See the patina? I just love that. I'm not sure what kind of metal this is. It could be brass. It's not heavy heavy but I thought it was quite a beautiful piece. There's no markings on it anywhere so I'm not quite sure what kind of metal it is but I did find it for $5.49 which I was quite reasonable and I think it's quite a pretty item. So this isn't any type of thrifting. I went to Home Sense and I found these napkins for $6.99. I thought this blue was really pretty for the summer and I thought oh hey that's gonna look gorgeous in this horse napkin holder. While I was at the antique market I showed you a booth full of brass. I know it was hard to pick out things but that booth always has some wonderful pieces at really good prices. So I found this. Isn't that nice? The brass duck head, the wood handle and this wonderful brush. It was only $7. So even though that booth is hard to look through I always take my time and dig and I found this hanging somewhere on one of the little shelves but it must be for like boots to clean or something like that. That's what I'm guessing it's for or shoes. I thought it was a really unique beautiful vintage piece and I think this is going to look gorgeous hanging off my rack in my front hall. So I'm still collecting items for my laundry room makeover. It's taking a long time but it's definitely coming. I found this gorgeous um probably like a type of rug beater. I don't know how old this is. I'm guessing it is vintage. It's kind of falling apart a bit but it's a beautiful piece. Like the part here kind of fell off on me. It's not even attached anymore but I found this for $5 and everything with the little yellow sticker was um half price. So I thought this was fantastic for $2.50. I actually found this piece at the Mission Thrift for $2.99. It's this wonderful basket but it has this great long handle. There's even a great little hook there and I thought this was really pretty. Um I'm thinking maybe uh the uh this rug beater and this beside each other hanging on a wall will look really really nice but it looks like there's some I'm thinking it's either glue or wax. I'm not sure maybe somebody had something uh put in there but I thought like the basket's in pretty good shape and you know definitely unique with uh the long handle like that and it might land up also in my laundry room. I just put the two beside here so you can see how they play off beautifully off each other. These wonderful textures are always fantastic to work with. I love bells and when I saw this at Salvation Army I went oh my gosh this is gorgeous. Rusty and crusty. I think it's just beautiful. It has a really nice hook for hanging. I found this for $6.99 and my first thought was that I was going to take this apart and make a garland for Christmas and I don't know I think it's even pretty like this. So you have to let me know if I should leave it like this or if I should take it apart and make a garland for my mantle for Christmas. Either way I just love this piece and the sound is just really really nice. So if you saw in my video portion that there was a booth with 40% off that's rare you can see 10% on these booths but this was the only piece I found that I was surprised. You know you look deeper when there's a big sale and this beautiful little brass duck bell I thought it was so unique. I never seen one like this before. So it was originally $12 and I got it for around $7 something but I thought that was really really nice and you know with me with brass and ducks I don't know what it is but this guy just said take me home. So let me know in the comments do you collect bells as well? What can I say about this stunning piece of ironstone? This gorgeous little picture I found in a store a little ways away this beautiful little basically mom and pop antique store and they had this in their shop and I got it for only six dollars. I love it. I don't have one like this one blue one anyways. Look at the handle here and the other side has a different picture there as well. I love little pictures and as you can see this one also has its stamp on the bottom and I think this is one of my favorite finds of this adventure of thrifting and antiquing. Well if you guessed right yes I brought this home. I could not resist. It goes along with my little collection that I have so far but this is so unique. I haven't seen anything with an actual little set with a handle. I just love this. These little pieces are fantastic. You can see the patina look at the glassware. Oh what can I say? Beautiful. I like that there was actually two as you saw in the footage but this one here had the spoon so you probably know by now of course I have to get the one with the spoon. Really really pretty and see the patina there where it's being held all the time. It's a little bit of marking on the bottom but I just love this. So again for me unique little piece. Those are my collection of all these little jars and I couldn't believe I found two of them. So this is my last find. I got this at the Salvation Army. You can see there's a marking there. I was hemming and hawing if I should bring this home or not. These are very heavy silver plate candlesticks. I had these growing up. Well actually my mom did. Had a beautiful silver tea and coffee set and she's also had or she still has her silver candlesticks. We see them come out every special occasion and when I saw these they reminded me of hers. So I couldn't resist these. I actually had a gentleman grab in my cart one of these and take a look at it. I thought he was gonna take them. You know the surprise of what other shoppers will do. But on that note these beautiful detail here of these candlesticks are just gorgeous. So intricate design. I found them for $8.99 each and I actually had a coupon that I could use for these. So I got 20% off and I thought these are just stunning gorgeous pieces that I can use decorating all year long. I wanted to share this cottage style blue and white summer theme in my kitchen. So it's a little refresh. I'm mixing all kinds of things old and new. Items I've thrifted. Items I've had for a long time and some beautiful pieces that I just shared in my home. I love these roses. I got those from Michael's a long time ago but they just suit that cottage garden theme. There's that beautiful little glass honeypot that I just love. There's that beautiful pitcher. I even added the rug beater in the back. I love that texture. The color went perfectly. That was a really good mix. Oh and this beautiful cup and saucer. That was my husband's grandmother's. So I received that one there and I thought the blue was just stunning along with this one here. I thought that was just another beautiful piece and I also added one of those wonderful little thrifted spoons. I want to thank the viewer to remind me that would complete that little look. Another thrifted scale. Here's that beautiful condiment set. I also added some lavender. I thought that just plays off beautifully off silver and also the blue. Mine is blooming beautifully right now and I thought that was a nice little touch with like I said the blue here. There are those Walmart hand towels. I just add those for some texture and some softness. I'm using that beautiful wood board as a base and I thought I'd just fill this little dish that I showcased before with some salt and pepper shakers. So I think I want to add something right in the middle here like I usually do. So I'm just adding those little butter puffs which I think are so sweet and I couldn't forget this little fella. So I just put him there. I like the brass kind of playing off the gold a bit there just to complete the look. But I just wanted to show you I got these way back from Bombay. It was a wonderful store here. Unfortunately it's gone and I'm using the little silver toast holder that I got a while ago and I thought what a great way to display these. So just a different idea instead of laying them flat. I really love this blue and white theme for summer. I've never really decorated for blue and white. It's a new for me but I'm just finding that it's very cool and with the heat that we've been having I just love that this works so well. I'm hoping this brings you some inspiration and some maybe tips and ideas on how to decorate a vignette. Certainly this can be done anywhere in a tray or or just like on a cutting board like I did here or how I styled those posters. You can also put little plates as well.
