Thrift Shop Thursday #27

April 28, 2016 By stylishrevamp 2 Comments

I am late again this week.  We have had a lot going on but things are starting to wind down a bit.  Now here we are again at another Thrift Shop Thursday #27. Some of my picks this week are not exactly from thrift shops but I did get some great deals.

Thrift Shop Finds

I found this adorable little mouse tea light holder in a small town on the Eastern Shore. We were actually at a Harry Potter Festival in the midst of a scavenger hunt when I stumble across this little tea light.

Metal Tea Light Holder

Even though I am scared to death of mice, I still think this is a cute tea light. At first, I was superstitious about decorating with it.  I kept thinking, the minute I add it to my bookshelf, we are going to get mice. I don’t know why, but that is the way my brain works.

I like picking up little things like this to add to my home, something unique that adds a bit of whimsy! With a male dominate household, a girl needs a bit of whimsy!

Next, I picked up this lantern at HomeGoods several months ago. I knew that I wanted to add it to my sunroom for a casual “beachy” feel.

Lantern from HomeGoods

The wood on the lantern reminds me of driftwood. I like that it doesn’t look like something that I just picked up. It looks as if it has been well loved over time.  It has a weather look to it and you know I love driftwood,  you can see some of my projects here, here and here. I think it fits into my sunroom perfectly.

Remember last week when I was talking about my poinsettias?

 Well, they are still alive, although one is looking a little droopy.  I think it needs to be in a place in my home that does not get as much sunlight.  Well, last week I mentioned that I had picked up a silver ice bucket and I wanted to share that with you.

Silver Ice Bucket from GoodWill

This is such a nice, thick and solid silver ice bucket.  I picked it up for a dollar. Yes, it was a dollar, one, $1 dollar.  I have seen similar items like this at PotteryBarn ranging from $79-$89.  So for a dollar, I am using it for a planter. I will let you know if this baby survives until Christmas which is only 8 months away!

Lastly, I am sharing my tobacco baskets.  Love, love love these baskets.  I have searched for these at every antique, thrift, and  consignment shop I have come across with no luck. ZERO! ZIP! ZILCH!

Decorating with Tobacco Baskets

I was finally able to pick these up from Decor Steals.  If you are not familiar with this site you need to check it out.  I have bought a few things from them and have been happy with all of my purchases. Basically,  at 10 a.m. Eastern time, they offer a deal of the day. The items are about 80% off retail prices, they sell fast, and each day is different.

As for the pig, we have had him for so long, I can’t remember where he came from, it’s like he has always been here!

I feel like when I go thrift shopping, if I have in mind what I want, I never find it!

Built-ins and decorating

 I have been looking for something, anything for the top shelf of this built-in for such a long time. I decorate it for Christmas and the Autumn season but the rest of the time, I struggle.  If you all have any ideas let me know.  Until then I will keep searching all my favorite thrift shops!

Have a great weekend.

Until Next Time,

Thrift Shop Thursday #26

April 15, 2016 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Welcome to Thrift Shop Thursday #26.  Yes, I know today is Friday but I have been running behind all week! Not to mention the fact that I have not posted a Thrift Shop Thursday in several weeks, YIKES! Going to the gym every day is making me lazy!

This weeks treasures come from a few of my favorite places…Goodwill, plus a local consignment shop, HomeGoods and T.J. Maxx.  All of my favorite stops after the gym.

So let’s get started with Thrift Shop Thursday #26

Thrift Shop Thursday #26

My first find comes from Goodwill.  I like finding random little bits of basically nothing!  I will pick something up that cost mere pennies and think to myself I can use this somewhere for something! That’s why this blue base came home with me. It  kind of scares me because I have watched a few episodes of Hoarders.  So I guess I am glad that I do have a bit of OCD because that helps me keep everything neat, clean and organized!

Blue ceramic candle holder from Goodwill

When we revamped the sunroom, the bookcases needed an update as well.  (I will share more on that in a later post.)  I am not even sure what the blue little bowl was used for but it works perfectly as a candle holder.

White Vase and Cream bowl/candle holder

I picked the white vase up at our local consignment shop.  It’s a Kaiser W Germany pottery piece. I thought it was a sweet little vase.  I have seen several different variations of this piece on ebay and I definitely did not pay the same price at the thrift shop.  That is why I love consignment shopping so much.  I love finding great pieces at great prices.  I also picked up the white bowl at Goodwill at the same time I picked up the blue bowl, knowing that I was going to use it for a candle holder as well…just more of my little bits of nothing from GoodWill.

HomeGoods find

I found this vase at HomeGoods.  I thought it was really different than anything I have and it looks great in the bookcase in the sunroom too.  The Gman said it looks like Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean.  Yep, I still like it even after that little comment from the 12 year old!

Black and Gold Acrylic Initial from Goodwill

This was another GoodWill find! I have seen these letters at HomeGoods and T.J. Maxx but they never have the black and gold “K”.  As soon as I saw it, I scooped it up but made a promise to myself that this was the very last letter I will put in our home…ever… or until I find another one that I really, really like!  I wanted the black and gold one for my office.  It’s on my Billy Bookcase and I love it!

styling my IKEA Billy Bookcase

Looking at this picture, I can see a lot of my Thrift Shop finds are used to style my  Bookcase.

Lastly, I am sharing a clearance item from T.J. Maxx.

Potted Faux Plant

 I think this is adorable!  Usually, I am not one for faux plants but I thought if Joanna Gaines uses them in her design than it’s good enough for me!  I struggle with keeping plants alive although not to brag or anything (HAHA) but I still have two Poinsettias that are thriving.   Well, actually my husband has kept them alive! I don’t have the patience for it!  They are now turning green so I am curious to see how long he can keep them alive.  I know what you’re thinking and no it does not look “Chirstmassy” especially now that they are turning green.  Maybe I will share it next week because I just bought a silver ice bucket at GoodWill to keep the 2nd plant in instead of my snowman pot. HAHA.  I told you going to the gym is making me a bit lazy.  Although we did get snow last week so technically the snowman pot did not look that out of place!

Thanks for stopping by Thrift Shop Thursday edition #26.  Have a great weekend.  I for one am so glad it is Friday!

Until Next Time,

Thrift Shop Thursday #25: Goodwill and Consignment Shop Finds

March 3, 2016 By stylishrevamp 1 Comment

Hi everyone and welcome to this week’s edition of Thrift Shop Thursday #25: Goodwill and Consignment Shop Finds.  I have missed several weeks of Thrift Shop Thursday, not because I haven’t been thrift shopping either! Some of my finds I am going to be doing some revamping on and others I will get to later.

One of my favorite new pieces that I shared here is awaiting a good sanding and paint job.  I am hoping to get to it next week.  I  saw on the local news that we are supposed to get 1-3 inches of snow overnight but by next week it may hit the 70 degree mark. I am so ready to start painting and I am anxious to try out my new Home Right Sprayer. I will let you know my thoughts on that soon.

This week I am sharing a few smaller items. First up is this cute little ceramic egg separator. It’s practical and I liked that it is white ceramic.

Thrift Shop Thursday #24: It’s all about the Goodwill Goods!

January 28, 2016 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Wow, it feels like I haven’t done one of these in a while.  So here we go, welcome to Thrift Shop Thursday #24. All of my finds today come from Goodwill.  Big surprise there, right?  I could browse Goodwill every single day and see something new each time.  I did stop by one of our local consignment/antique shops a few weeks ago.  This place has so many rooms, steps up and steps down, but I walked away with zip, zilch, nothing.  Talk about disappointment.  That’s the way it usually works…when I think I am going to score big time, I walk away with nothing.  When I just pop in for a quick look around, I walk away with something I love.  That’s what happened with the finds I am sharing today.  I popped into Goodwill after the gym and found these favorites for Thrift Shop Thursday #24.

It’s all about the Goodwill Goods

Thrift Shop Thursday #24, It's all about the Goodwill Goods!

My first find is the white horse ceramic bookend.  I picked it up for my home office bookcase.

White Horse Bookend from Goodwill

Did I need it? No, but do I like it? Yes! As I have said before, I tend to add and switch thing up on my book-case quite often.  This was such a simple addition to the shelves. There was only one bookend but that’s the thing with Goodwill, you get what you get which make the hunt all the more exciting.

The second find I am sharing is this galvanized bucket I picked up before Christmas.

Galvanized bucket with Greenery

I think a galvanized bucket can be used for just about anything.  originally, I kept all of my wrapping paper stored in it while I wrapped during the Holiday Season.  Then I had it by our side entrance to the house holding greenery (which has seen better days). I am not sure where it will end up next but here are a few  decorating ideas with galvanized buckets that you can check out here . Love it!

My last find is my favorite! I was back and forth on whether or not to get it.  I really did not need another mug but in the end, I picked it up and I love it!

typography number mug from Goodwill

It is usually the things that I am back and forth on that become my favorite and this is definitely one of those things!  I like the #3 because it represents my 3 boys and for mere pennies, I say yep, it was worth it! Plus, I like the way it looks on my mug rack!

Goodwill Mug

I had to add another picture because that’s how much I Love It!

I hope you enjoyed the latest edition of Thrift Shop Thursday #24: It’s all about the Goodwill Goods!

I hope all my East Coast readers have successfully dug their way out of the Blizzard of 2016!

Until Next Time…

Thrift Shop Thursday #23: Christmas Finds

December 10, 2015 By stylishrevamp 2 Comments

 

 Welcome to this weeks edition of Thrift Shop Thursday #23.  We are sharing some of our Christmas Finds from local consignment shops and our favorite store… Goodwill!

Thrift Shop Thursday #23 sharing some of our Christmas Finds

The first item up this week is a paper village set.  I picked it up because it reminded me of the village my mom always put under our Christmas tree. I think that was one of her favorite things to do, set up her village.  I would lay under that tree and stare at that village and dream for hours, it was just so pretty and seemed like the perfect town.  It was such a lovely scene.  I come from a family of seven and I am the only girl. It would not take long for one of the boys (who will not be named but we all know who he is) to drive a remote control car through the villages and rapidly try to restore it back to its original state before mom walked back into the room! Boys!  Now I have three and wouldn’t have it any other way!

Christopher Radko presents Shiny Brite Village

When I saw this paper village set by Christopher Radko it was so reminiscent of the ones from my childhood, I knew I had to have it.

Christopher Radko Shiny Brite Villages

I picked the entire set up for a few dollars at a consignment shop.  They are not vintage pieces but they do look similar to the ones my mom has under her tree.

The next piece I am sharing is one that I picked up at Goodwill for $5.  It’s one of those pieces that my husband just looks at and shakes his head.  Well, it was only $5 and I had a plan for it.

Metal Christmas Tree from Goodwill

My original plan for this baby was to hang all of my vintage ornaments on it.  That didn’t work.  The metal branches are too close together to hang the ornaments on.  I still like it and think it looks fabulous as is…it is still not a favorite for my hubby.  I am thinking Santa can put a few small presents under it and we are good to go!

My last find for today is another Christmas Tree. This one is a Christmas Tree card holder. I picked it up from Goodwill last summer.  We love displaying the Christmas cards we receive each year. We used to tape them on the door in the kitchen, then I made a ribbon to attach them to one year but this tree is my favorite for displaying the cards.

Christmas Tree card display

It is perfect.  Everyone can see the cards and it is easy to pull the cards out and read them at any time.

That wraps up this weeks Thrift Shop Thursday #23: Christmas Finds. I hope you are enjoying this Holiday Season as much as I am.

Until Next Time,

Thrift Shop Thursday #22

December 3, 2015 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Welcome to Thrift Shop Thursday #22.  This week I am sharing some of my favorite Christmas finds. I am always on the lookout for Christmas items even when we travel.

Thrift Shop Thursday #22

First up this week, I am sharing my red and green espresso mugs.  I found these at a little shop for 25 cents!  #cute

Holiday Espresso Mugs

I think they are adorable.  I like to use them with my DIY Christmas Countdown Sign.  They are the perfect size to hold my chalk for the changing days on my sign.

Once Christmas if over, I could use them for espresso but no… someone packed up my espresso machine over Thanksgiving Break and took it back with him to college! XOXO to him!

The next two finds I am sharing with you is something I am always on the look out for when I am thrift shopping.  I really like Vintage Christmas Light Bulbs.  I especially like the milk glass bulbs. They have so much detail.

VIntage Light Bulbs tucked into a Vintage bowl Could you imagine a string of these vintage light bulbs on your tree?  I think it would be so pretty rather than the mini white twinkling lights we use today. I am a Nervous Nelly when it comes to fire safety, so I just put them in vintage bowls (also picked up at a thrift shop) and scatter them around the house.

Vintage Milk Glass

The large oval milk glass bulbs are my favorite.  These were the very first bulbs I  ever bought and I haven’t seem any others like them either.  The search continues…

Well, that’s it for this week of Thrift Shop Thursday #22.  I will share more of my Vintage Holiday Finds next week.

I think I might brave this cold weather and attempt to fix the outside lights!

Until Next Time,

Welcome to Thrift Shop Thursday #21.  This is my favorite time of year and over the next few weeks I will be sharing some of my favorite Christmas Thrift Shop finds.  This week I will be sharing a few Holiday items and a lovely wooden mirror that I have gone back to several times and finally decided to pick it up, knowing that I could find a home for it.

Thrift Shop Thursday #21

The first piece I am going to share with you is the cardinal card place holder.

Thrift Shop Thursday #20

October 22, 2015 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

I feel like this week has totally gotten away from me. Things have been crazy busy.  Over the weekend, my husband and I took the Gman to Universal Studios in Florida.  He is a huge Harry Potter fan. It all started when he was in the third grade.  I would read one chapter a night to him. I was so sad when we read the very last chapter of book 7.  We read from that series every night for almost two years. It was so sweet to watch him in the park.  I am so glad that is something we were able to share with him.

Since we have been back home, I have been trying to get back into the schedule of school and the gym.  I am also slowly decorating for fall.  By the time I get around to it, it will be time to start decorating for Christmas!(I have already started shopping…I know that drives some people crazy when I say that.)

O.K. getting back to Thrift Shop Thursday #20.  This week I am sharing some of my finds from the past.  When I went to Goodwill earlier in the week, I found another Ironstone piece so I thought I would share some of my earlier pottery and dishes that I have been collecting.  Most of these treasures have come from Goodwill with a few from consignment shops as well.

Thrift Shop Thursday #19

October 8, 2015 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

I have missed the past two weeks of Thrift Shop Thursday.  I really thought that since the gym was near both of my favorite thrift shopping spots, it would be a breeze to pop in, see if I could score any new finds, then head home…quick and easy!  Well, that is not happening.  One, when I leave my class at the gym, I am either dying or just look like I am dying or two, I skip class all together then don’t go thrift shopping for fear someone from the gym will see me!  Anyway, today I hit the gym and the shops and found something to share and yes, I did look like a mess!

Thrift Shop Thursday #19, Sharing all my favorite thrifty finds.

I love the large candle holder that I found at the consignment shop.  When I saw it, it reminded me of the one Joanna Gaines found at an auction on The Fixer Upper, one of my favorite shows on HGTV.

This is what it looked like when I found it today.

Iron floor candle holder

Since I was planning on using it in my office,  I was back and forth between spraying it black or gold. The gold won out!

Thrift Shop Candle Holder Sprayed Gold

This is a nice and heavy piece.  I am glad I chose the gold.  It gives it a nice pop.  Check out Charlie in the background…so bored with this whole blog thing!

Gold Sprayed Iron Candle HolderYep, I am still loving my office space!

The next piece I am sharing, I found several months ago.  I get stuck on something and pick up several different variations. I am back to the candleholders.

GoodWill Gold Metal Candle Holder

This one is just a teeny tiny one that I picked up a Goodwill.  I will just add it to the collection of gold candleholders in my office.  Seriously, this is the last gold item and the very last candleholder that I will share…for now!

I just love this little candleholder though, I think it is so sweet!

Gold Metal Floral Candle Holder

Last up on this week’s Thrift Shop Thursday #19 is an old one that I have shared before but wanted to share again before I repaint it.

Cloche with Pedestal Base

I found the base of this cloche at a flea market.  It was originally stained wood that needed some love.  I painted it with Annie Sloan Graphite Chalk Paint.  I am thinking of repainting it and off white.  I think the graphite is just too dark for my dining room. I still need to put some more thought into it but I love this piece.  I picked up the glass top at Michaels and it fits within the base perfectly.

Well, that’s it for this week’s Thrift Shop Thursday #19.  I hope you are finding some great thrifted finds too.

Thrift Shop Thursday #18

September 17, 2015 By stylishrevamp 1 Comment

Hello and welcome to Thrift Shop Thursday #18.  Today was a great day at one of my favorite Thrift Shops.  I did not have any luck at Goodwill even though I searched every inch of that store.  Both of the places I went to today are very close to the Kickboxing gym I belong to which hopefully will be enough incentive for me to make it to class everyday.

Thrift Shop Thursday #18

I found all of this today!
