I Finally Did It! GOODWILL THRIFTING & STYLING! | Spring Decorating Ideas | Thrifting, Home Decor

I completely forgot to film an intro for this video, so we're jumping straight into the thrifting, but I will also be styling my haul and doing some spring decorating afterwards. Also, I ended up bringing something home today that I think y'all are gonna love, and you're gonna be pretty proud of me because I normally pass on this item, so keep watching to see that. This stool was only four dollars and in great condition, minus the spot on the trim that needed to be re-glued, but I feel like this had a very high-end look. I loved the print on this couch. Y'all, I'm telling you, I love a good floral printed vintage grandma couch, and this one was only thirty dollars. I think one day I might have to accidentally buy one. I'm curious how many of you still love that traditional modern farmhouse style. I remember a time when lanterns similar to those were so popular, and if I remember correctly, this table was thirty dollars, but it had some pretty deep scratches on top. Okay, I've said how I pass on glass items because I never reach for them, and I just feel like they get lost easily in a display, but I wish I had just spent the seven on that picture. It would be beautiful holding tulips right now. This is so 80s, but in a good way. I found a 1989 Country Living magazine the other day, and it had lots of little sets like this for sale in it. Here's another good furniture piece for a good deal, only twenty dollars. I'm not into the colors on this one, but it looks nice and slumpy and comfortable. I do end up buying this lamp, which I'll be styling later, but I realized when I got home that I have this exact size already, but it's upstairs, so I always forget about it, but I found a good spot for it in my spring decor, and you'll see that here shortly. I liked this Waverly Valence, and I saw that they had four of them in the packaging like this, so in total you'd be spending forty on them. I'm not sure that's the best deal, and I know they would have been cheaper if the original tag wasn't on them. Also, I need y'all to tell me if you had this type of artwork in the early 2000s. We have them in almost every room in my house that I grew up in, so for some reason my mom just loved that. I was trying to figure out what this was. Is it to lay flowers on? Is it a dog bed or a baby doll bed? I'm still trying to switch over to all wood frames instead of gold like these, and I'm having the hardest time finding any that I like. Maybe I'm just being picky. Okay, now we're at the bins, and I didn't stay too long this day because there wasn't a ton of hard goods, but there were some bins. It was just mostly clothing, and the only good thing about that is you're gonna find lots of quilts and blankets, which you'll see scattered throughout. Here's a good one here. Isn't it great? And I did bring it home. I think it's vintage, but I'm probably gonna tuck it away until fall time. Just when I decide that I do not need another brass candlestick, this cute little thing pops up, so yes, I had to bring him home. I really hope somebody grabbed this bunch of fabric. I'd hate to see it be thrown out. I'm not into the color or pattern, or else I would have saved it. Oh, I love the flower details on this frame, so I ended up using it to frame the pressed leaf and calling card that I shared in my last video, and I like it much better in this frame. I saw potential in this lamp if you added rub and buff to the gold to tone it down, and then added a nice pleated or fabric lampshade. I told y'all lots of good linens today. I did end up bringing home three blankets and a few other lightweight items, but it made my total $30, which is another reason why I normally pass on the old quilts, because the whole point of the bins is to come away with a ton of good stuff for a cheap price. Another item I saw potential in was this hand towel up next to this pillow. I think they go together nicely for like a nice bright spring vibe. Okay y'all, let's do some decorating here by the coffee pot. Y'all know I like to do a little vignette, so it's time to get it switched over for spring, and then I'm going to use the lamp that I thrifted today in this space as well, but I like to keep this outlet covered up, and I have a specific plug back here that's flat. I'll link it below if you'd like. I got it on Amazon, and that allows me to have a frame up here covering it up. So this is something that I've made. It's another fabric mat with a printed image, and then I want to add the lamp that I thrifted today. I love the look of this one, and it's super petite. I did take the harp off so I could use a special shade with it. Then this is the lampshade that I pleated in my last video, if you missed that, but it's going to be the perfect size for my new lamp, and I'm going to keep the same layout that's been working for me for the last few seasons. I've been placing a book down with some cute little vintage teacups on top, and then it's spring, so I'm going to put an adorable little bird's nest inside the teacup just because that fits perfectly in there, and it's so cute. All right, I actually think I want to put a plate holder here to raise this photo up just a bit. Much better. All right, and I feel like it needs something under the lamp, like another pop of green to match the gingham fabric, so I'm going to put this plate under the lamp. Okay, and the last thing I think I'm going to do is just add some sprigs of greenery. This is from Hobby Lobby from one of their garlands. I think that's going to do it. I really love all the blues and green and then the pop of pattern in the fabric matting next to the pink. All right, I don't know if y'all noticed these in the thrifting footage. I found this curtain panel at the bins. It has this really fun kind of teal-ish blue block print, and I'm loving the block print trend right now, so I thought this could look nice here in the entryway. There is only one panel, but I feel like that can work for this space because it's real small, especially if I do like the draping method that I did for winter where I pull it all the way over and drape it. I just have to find something to hold it back, but anyways, I really like that and it's from the bins. It costs pretty much nothing. All right, I had to change my microphone on my camera, so I hope y'all can hear me okay, but anyways, I've hung this denim jacket here. I just like the look of jackets hanging. I don't wear this. It's not even my size, but I thrifted this at the pins so I can hang it on the hall tree, but I have this cute straw hat. I DIY'd this years ago now. I just added some satin ribbon, used some pins to hold it in place on this little vintage straw hat. Okay, and I was trying to figure out what I want to put on this wall. I just feel like it's so bare and white, so I have this. I think it's older. This bell pull that has this really beautiful needlepoint design with flowers and I thought that could just add a nice pop of color and it hangs down pretty long, so it takes up a decent amount of space and then I already hung up some dried flowers right here and a little wicker purse with a vintage necktie tied around it. I've had this wire bunny for years. I love it so much, but I can never find a spot for it and I could just put it on the front porch, but I don't see it out there, so I'm going to stick it in this little corner over here. Okay, I put these pots on the window sill. I just kind of like the look of it. If you don't know, we have deer all in our yard and the lots around us, so I can't have a garden or even like a flower pot garden because they eat everything, so maybe in the next house, but I wanted to show you this one. I found both of these at the Goodwill. This is what it looked like originally and then I did kind of a DIY paint situation on here just to tone it down because I don't love terracotta color. I really don't, so I think I like this. You'll have to let me know what you think. I just use a bunch of different green paints and then what makes it kind of look better like this is going over it with some waverly wax, like the dark wax, so I'm going to put that back here and I think I will do this orange one as well. I just wanted to show you. I haven't gotten to this one yet, but these are only $2.99 a piece. I think they're a nice petite size and eventually once the stores get some ivies in, I'm going to go get a little ivy plant to put here. All right, I'm going to add some decor to the bottom here and I'm saving the fun part for last. I'm going to add a blanket and I want you all to help me decide which one you like the best for this space, but I did thrift them today, but for now I want to add a basket here and I have these gardening books, these like vintage gardening books, and they're too heavy to put anything under it to raise them up, so I'm just going to have to deal with that, but I also want to add some flowers. I have these fake flowers from Hobby Lobby. They're this really pretty pink color and I've been trying to add a pop of pink in every space that I'm decorating for spring, so majority of the time it's been in flower form. Okay, I think the only other thing I want to do down on the ground, we're just going to add a few more gardening books next to this plant. If you missed my last video, I found this amazing seafoamy green plant pot that I have my snake plant in for $6 and I think it is so beautiful and I like that it drags that green color over here to this side of the hall tree. Okay, now for the fun part. I'm going to add a blanket under this lumbar pillow, that antique quilt that I just found at the bins. I think it's antique. It's definitely handmade. It has some very rough spots, but I just folded it up in a way that you can't see those and I really love the pop of color and pattern that it adds to this space, especially on this dark bench, and I know a lot of you are going to love it as well, but I also found a kind of muted pastel patterned blanket that I love almost as much. So after I finish decorating this space, I'm going to insert a clip of both of the blankets back to back and I want you to tell me which one you think looks better, especially with this curtain that I added.
