My Love Affair with Gold and White Continues

May 20, 2016 By stylishrevamp 1 Comment

Yes, it is that time again…Thrift Shop Thursday #28, my love affair with Gold and White continues.

I picked up these brass drawer pulls several months ago at a consignment shop. I am just waiting for the perfect project so I can use them.

Check out the gold ruler and gold scissors. My husband picked these up for me. He knows me so well! The gold and white journal came from T.J. Maxx. I am keeping a wish list with images of future projects that I would like to tackle. I keep all of this minus the drawer pulls on my desk in my office which you can see here. I really love this space. It suits me perfectly!

I scooped up this little white bowl at Goodwill. I like that it is kind of like a pedestal bowl. It also has what looks like lion heads on each side of it. There is just something special about this little bowl! Now I need to find my every day white dishes and finally part ways with my blue, maroon, gold, and green Longaberger dishes. I know what I want, I just need to bite the bullet and do it!

Technically, my last steal is not a thrift shop find but I still want to share it with you all. I picked it up at the grocery store in the floral department.

As soon as I saw it, I thought it would be perfect on my thrift shop three tiered stand which I shared here.

I have added both the white Goodwill bowl and the air plant to my tiered tray. I am so glad I chose to paint the stand white. I think it looks so much better white than black. I like switching out the pieces on the tray too.

Today I was able to go outside and get a few pictures that I want to share tomorrow. We have been getting hit with so much rain and today was the first day without it. As much as I am getting tired of the rain, it has made our lawn and landscaping nice and lush. The rain is moving back into our area this weekend which is slowing down another project that we are in the midst of.

We, mainly my husband is working on our garage. We need to have good weather to complete the flooring which seems like it will be awhile before that happens. I cannot wait to share that with you as well. Maybe I will do a quick post on the before and during stages.

I hope you have enjoyed this installment of Thrift Shop Thursday #28, My Love of White and Gold Continues.

Until Next Time,

DIY Gold Glitter Believe Sign

December 8, 2015 By stylishrevamp 1 Comment

Today I decided to skip the gym and head out to do some Christmas shopping. That was a workout within itself! It is so nice to come home to a decorated home. I really like our home but I especially like it at Christmas time. I would like to have twinkling lights up all year round.

I mentioned last week that I was going to share my DIY Gold Glitter Believe Sign. This was another quick, easy and inexpensive project. The longest part was waiting for the paint to dry.

Supplies Needed:

Scrap wood

Vinyl Lettering (I made mine with my Cricut Cutter)

White Paint

Gold Glitter Paint

I had some scrap wood in the garage and the paint was also something I had on hand. The first thing you need to do is put your base coat of paint on your piece of wood. I chose white as my base color. I let that dry overnight.

I used my Cricut Cutter to make the vinyl letters. (Mine was a gift from Santa) If you do not have a craft cutter you can use vinyl stickers from Michaels Craft Store. I used stickers on my Christmas Countdown Sign and My Family Birthday Calendar and they worked perfectly.

So once your base coat is dry, place you lettering on the sign. I then sprayed several light coats of the gold glitter paint over the entire sign. I let the gold paint dry but not completely. I then pulled the vinyl lettering off to reveal the white lettering underneath.

I added my Believe Sign to my Ikea Billy Bookcase in my office for a little Christmas bling.

Next week I am planning on sharing my Christmas Home Tour but for now, I am off to hide some presents before the Gman gets home from school.

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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!

Yep, 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.

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!

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.

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.

Until Next Time,

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.

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.

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!

Thrift Shop Thursday #9

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…

Finding the Perfect Desk

April 28, 2015 By stylishrevamp 3 Comments

I have been stalking Pinterest for months looking for the perfect desk for my new office space. At first, I wanted a white lacquered desk with chrome legs. I was dreaming of a modern sleek style. I love the Jonathan Adler Desk pictured here from Wayfair.

Then I started looking for a white desk with gold legs or gold accents. I found this one at Pottery Barn Teen.

I really like both of these options but did not want to spend that kind of money. Then I started searching Ikea and found this IKEA hack by Just Bella. I thought this was fabulous. It was just what I was looking for and IKEA prices are the best.

I adore the sleek desktop and the gorgeous gold legs. It was just what I wanted. It would be perfect! Then my husband asked, “Do we really need to buy another desk?” I was thinking no, we really don’t need to buy a new desk but oh how I wanted a sleek new desk. My husband suggested we use something we already own. Perhaps, I could use one of the desks we have in the basement. The only two desks

we have in the basement are old, dark antique desks. The complete opposite of what I had been dreaming about…white, lacquered, sleek, modern, and with gold legs.

So this is the desk I am going to be revamping for my office. The desk I have despised because it was so dark and depressing (using Gman’s words).

Yep, I know what you are thinking. The same thing I was thinking… this is not sleek, white nor modern. This is not what I had in mind when I dreamed about my office but the more I looked at it, the more it started to grow on me, just a bit.

O.K. so it was not my first choice but I think I can work with this.

I am really beginning to love the details that were hidden beneath the layers of dark stain.

I started sanding and the details really began to pop.

So, while it may not be the sleek modern desk I was dreaming of I think this desk has lots of character and I am excited to make it mine!

Until next time…
