Thrift Shop Thursday #9

May 28, 2015 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

We are back this week with new/old Thrift Shop Finds.  Yesterday when I showed my hubs the new find I picked up, he said he was worried that I was becoming a hoarder.  At first I got a bit antsy, thinking he might be right but nah I still have a few more rooms to fill.  O.k. in all seriousness, I try to make sure for each thing that comes in I donate more than twice that amount.  When we had hardwood floors laid throughout the main level of the house in the fall, I did a full on deep clean.  So, no hoarding going on here.  Well, maybe the garage area a bit!

Anyway, onto Thrift Shop Thursday #9.

Thrift Shop Thursday #9

The first piece I am sharing today was orginally a vintage crate at some point.

We found it at an antique shop in Pennsylvania many years ago.  This was when my husband and I were dating and I believed him when he said he enjoyed junking.  Actually, he is a good sport and will go on the hunt with me occasionally.

The next treasure is a Goodwill Find.

Candlesticks from Goodwill

I don’t know, there was just something about these candlesticks that I liked.  I think it was the blonde wood with the bronze and gold finish on the metal base. Either way for a few bucks I thought why not? I seem to go in phases lately when thrift shopping.  I find one thing and buy several in different variations. First I was into the white dishes, then the gold phase (which I am still kind of searching for and need to stop) and now I seem to be into the candlesticks. I am also into the smaller items or household accessories.  I like to switch things up a bit at the house.

Next up is a set of concrete planters that I love.

  I gave the planters a coat of white paint and that was it.  Simple, easy five minute job!

Last up this week is surprise, surprise something gold.

Look, it’s gold and it’s a candle holder. Yep, I told you I shop in phases!

Well that’s it for this weeks Thrift Shop Thursday #9.  I hope you enjoyed it!

Until Next Time…

Thrift Shop Thursday #7

May 7, 2015 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Yes, it’s that time again…Thrift Shop Thursday.  We are up to #7. This morning my husband asked, “Don’t you need to go Thrift Shopping, it’s Thursday?” Well, I wasn’t planning on it but, hey, he kind of sounded like he wanted me to go shopping and if it makes him happy, I am all for it!

So let’s get this started.

Thrift Shop Thursday #7

Thrift Shop Thursday #7

First up this Thursday is my brass candle snuffer.

Vintage Candle Snuffer

I picked this up at Goodwill (of course) a couple of weeks ago.  I have to say I couldn’t wait for the new Goodwill to open but I think I like the old one better. They seem to move the merchandise in and out more rapidly.  There is always something new and strange coming in to the store.

Yes, I am still on the gold/brass kick.  I think all my little accessories look great on our newly finished IKEA Bookcase that I shared here.

Up next…

Vintage Binoculars

the vintage binoculars I picked up at a shop called Twisted Sister. I orginally bought these for my husband to use down at the Island House but I think they look perfect right here at home. They do look good on the bookcase but we really just never remember to take them when we head to the Eastern Shore.  We only remember them when we are looking out at the water and need them!

Vintage Personal Ashtray

Next up is an oldie but a goodie!  It’s a vintage brass personal ashtray.  Many, many years ago I was loving the gold/brass look.  See, if you hold on to your junk long enough it will come back into favor again! I have a couple different personal ashtrays around that I like and have had for awhile.

Last up this week is a lamp I found at a consignment shop.

Thrifted Lamp Revamp

Before we revamped our kitchen this lamp had a burgundy and gold lamp shade that I am now using in our sunroom (for the time being, we are getting ready to revamp that room as well.) I wanted to keep the base and I had some shades that I bought at the same consignment shop years ago. I liked the shape of the lampshade but not the pleated material that was on it.  I just cut the outer pleat off and left the inner material intact.  I used the same material that I used to recover the bench in the kitchen that you can see here.

Well, that finishes another week of Thrift Shop Thursday.  It is hard to believe we are on #7.  I am looking forward to school coming to an end this year. I am ready to get down to the Eastern Shore so I can go thrift shopping at some different shops!

Thrift Shop Thursday #7

I hope you are having a good week and scoring lots of great finds.

Until next time…
