Happy National Thrift Store Day

August 17, 2016 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Happy National Thrift Store Day!  Who knew that such a day existed?  I for one did not know this!  My first clue should have been the fact that the parking lot to my favorite Thrift Store was packed.  Normally, I can zip right up to the front door but today I had to park in the very last spot furthest away from the shop which is not a big deal but I had just finished a two-hour workout to try to undo the damage of this past weekend…deep fried oreos…need I say more!

Happy National Thrift Store Day

Once I got into the store, I couldn’t believe how many people were crowded into the aisles.  It was too overwhelming for me.  This is one time I walked out empty-handed.  I didn’t even care that there was an additional 30% off either. I did my usual quick walk through but did not bother going back through for a more thorough inspection… too much chaos for me.  Since I want to celebrate National Thrift Store Day with you, I will share some of my thrift scores from last week since today’s trip was not a success!

Bargain Shopping…Happy National Thrift Store Day

I found these little gold beauties at Goodwill.  They are actually Target Salvage.  I love when I find great scores at Goodwill especially when they originally came from Target.

I found these little gold beauties at Goodwill for mere pennies. More gold accents for my home office, you can never have too many gold accents, right?  The gold pieces are Target salvage.  Our Goodwill has been awesome these past few weeks.  Goodwill has been carrying a lot of Target Salvage, especially a lot of summer clearance items which I need none of even if I love the outdoor tables.

I found more Target Salvage at Goodwill.  I picked up this little lap desk for a few dollars.  I love it!

I picked up the lap desk at Goodwill.  Yes, it is another Target Salvage.  I really like the weathered look of the wood on the desk.  It has two levels.  One side of the desk remains stationary while the other piece raises and lowers at different levels. The black metal legs fold up for easy storage. The perfect little find to start the school year off right…ugh!!  Still not ready…I feel like school just let out for the summer!

Lastly, I am sharing my decorative green apples that I picked up at Goodwill.  I have had this little wooden pedestal with nothing to place on it until now. I think this is a perfect little accent to our white kitchen

I wanted to say thank you to  Serena from Thrift Diving for sharing one of my thrift shop finds.  Stop by and check out her blog.  Like I have said before she does awesome work and always finds the best thrifted finds!

I hope you all have a great day.  Happy National Thrift Store Day!

Until Next Time,

Goodwill Shopping on Thrift Shop Thursday

July 28, 2016 By stylishrevamp 2 Comments

Hi everyone, today we are Goodwill shopping on Thrift Shop Thursday.  Anything to get out of this heat! If I am not at the beach or the Island Home, I do not need or want this heat.  I am just going to say it… I am ready for the bitter cold weather of winter but will settle for the crisp coolness of Fall!  It was so hot today at the gym, I could not breathe.

Enough said, so we are moving on…check out my latest thrifting find from Goodwill.

Metal rolling stand from Goodwill.

( metal rolling filing cabinet)

Gman, my youngest received a printer for Christmas and I have been on the hunt for a vintage typewriter stand ever since, without any luck. When I walked into Goodwill, I spotted this bad boy.  It’s not the much coveted typewriter stand but it will work perfectly as a printer stand and it’s it great shape.

Thrifting at Goodwill

This beauty was 12 bucks! What I really like about it besides everything is the fact that the top lifts up and slides down the side to expose the filing racks. Gman is probably going to use it for private storage.

I actually like it in it’s natural state but I told Gman if he wanted me to spray it, I would.  He will just need to wait until we get a break from this heat.

Goodwill Thrifting for Thrift Shop Thursday

I hope you enjoyed this quick glimpse into my latest thrifted finds on Thrift Shop Thursday.  Enjoy your day and I hope you stay cool in the heat wave!

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!

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 #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 #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 #12

July 2, 2015 By stylishrevamp 1 Comment

It has been over two weeks since I last shared a Thrift Shop Thursday.  Two weeks ago we were celebrating the Gman’s promotion.  It’s on to Middle School for him.  He got up in front of over 500 people and read his essay during the ceremony.  Needless to say, I cried!

Then last week we went to Florida to see the rest of the family.  It was the best little getaway!

As you can tell, I am enjoying this long awaited summer break.

Now, on to Thrift Shop Thursday #12.

Throwback to my Favorite Thrift Shop Thursday Finds

May 21, 2015 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Today is a throwback to my Favorite Thrift Shop Thursday Finds.

Throwback Thrift Shop Thursday

The first item I am sharing again is my gold/brass deer.  I love this little piece.  I picked it up at the new Goodwill.  So far this is about the only thing that I have found there.

This is a perfect accent piece to my bookcases.

Up next, I am sharing my  favorite wooden 3 tier tray that I picked up at HomeGoods.  I have decorated the stand with all of my GoodWill white dishes.

Last week I shared my white chippy frames that we picked up at a yard sale. I really like how they look on my mantle leaned up against the large mirror.  It completely changes the look of the fireplace.

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…
