Sharing Autumn Leaves and Pumpkins, please

November 3, 2019 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

…until Thanksgiving that is!

I am a little late to the Autumn/Fall game but I thought I would share a few spaces with you that are still dressed in all their orange glory.  Look, I love Christmas as much if not more than most.  I’ll admit, with most of my home decor projects, I always have Christmas in the back of my brain somewhere. For example, when I buy new to me furniture from Goodwill, it’s on my mind, Will my tree still fit in the room? Will the new lamps look good with the Christmas tree? Will that color look awful at Christmas time? You get the idea.  Now, having said all that, I still wait until after Thanksgiving to start decorating.  So in the meantime, I hope you enjoy my Fall pics while the rest of Pinterest and Instagram are full of snowy white, beautiful Christmas trees with twinkle lights.  Full disclosure, I am all over the Hallmark Countdown to Christmas though! Now on to Fall decor which will stay up until after the Thanksgiving turkey has been consumed.

Copper ladles bring Fall Touches

First up, these copper ladles I found at a consignment shop. I knew if I got them, I was going to add them to the hooks on the vintage buffet in the dining room. It’s the things that I go back and forth on buying that  end up being my favorite finds every. single. time.  I will leave these up year round.  I like the copper touches in the dining room.

I added white pumpkins and greenery to my dough bowl.

I added a few Fall touches to my dough bowl that I’ve had for many years which happens to be a consignment shop find as well.  Another budget friendly item I used in my Autumn decor is the white pumpkins that I picked up at the Dollar Store.  Although, they did not look like that when I found them.

Faux pumpkins from the Dollar Store

(Dollar Store Pumpkin)

The first thing I did to these faux pumpkins was remove the fake flowers and berries.  I did save the stems. I gave them I quick coat of chalk paint that was completely dried out. (Just add water and stir, stir, stir) I reattached the stems and added some Spanish Moss that I had on hand from Michaels.

Sharing Fall Ideas through Thanksgiving

A basket full of pumpkins!

The basket was another Goodwill find that I absolutely did not need. When I came home from my Goodwill trip the hubs was home and I was not about to let him see me carrying yet another basket into the house so I hurried up and hung it across the dining room chair. Quite honestly, I forgot the thing was hanging there hiding from my hubs since we only use the dining room 3 times a year at best. So that is how the Goodwill basket came to rest in the dining room.  I completed the look by adding some pumpkins! (Side Note…I did completely scrub the basket with hot soapy water and let it dry outside.  I had a four hour window to get it done one day while said hubs was golfing)  I am not sure what our Thanksgiving plans are yet but if I do cook and we have dinner in the dining room, I’ll let you know if the hubs notices the basket!

Dried gourds and leaves in a basket for Fall

Hmmm, another basket that has been hanging out in the dining room.

Mini pumpkins in my office

I scattered mini pumpkins throughout the house.  I switch things up a bit from year to year but not too much.  I like the memories associated with all my pieces especially now that I have zero trick or treaters in the house.  It brings back memories of when the boys were so excited to get out there and run door to door.

You can see my post from past years here and here. In the last link, you can see my DIY sign for Fall that I used again this year.  I also added my Goodwill pumpkin candy dish.  Other than that I kept the kitchen relatively  simple by adding candles and mini pumpkins to my tiered trays.

Off the back porch, I added smaller mums and mini pumpkins to my green plant stand.  Another secondhand find.  This one comes from my home town which makes me love it even more.

Well, that’s all I have to share of Autumn leaves and pumpkins (and a few hidden baskets). Coming later this week, I will share my updated sunroom space. Whether you are decorating with pumpkins or Christmas trees, I hope you have a great week.

Until Next Time,

A Round-Up of my Favorite Goodwill and Thrifted Treasures

March 4, 2018 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

It is no secret that I am obsessed with Goodwill and thrift shopping.  So much so that for my birthday, my husband asked me what I wanted and my response was nothing but silence from him when I carried in my hauls from Goodwill.  A few days later, I had to clarify that his agreement to this request was not just for the day of my birthday but for a lifetime. I think it was a win/win for both of us! I am also keeping up my end of the deal that when something new comes in something old must leave the house…I always drop something off at Goodwill, even if it’s someone else’s belongings!

Goodwill Favorites

There are so many things that I adore about Goodwill and thrift shopping.  I love looking through all the discarded items that were once loved by someone else.  I enjoy thinking about how they were once used.  I like that the inventory is constantly changing. The deals are incredible and I like finding one of a kind items.  I also like finding items that appear to be past their prime and breathing new life into them.  I always get that spark of excitement when I pull into the lot, eager to see what is waiting to be found.

I thought it would be fun to do a round-up of some of my favorite treasures and how I incorporated them into our home.

Pottery Barn desk chair found at Goodwill

This is my most recent Goodwill treasure.  I paid a whopping $15 for this Pottery Barn desk chair.  It is in great shape, just a few nicks and scratches on the wood frame. If you look above the piano, you can see another thrift store favorite.  This shelf which is actually from an old buffet side table is flipped upside down. I think we paid $10 for it years ago.

Goodwill creamy ivory, soft, crocheted throw

The crocheted soft, creamy throw comes for Goodwill for the bargain price of $2.  I always look for crocheted throws or embroidery linens. I just toss them into to the washing machine the minute I get home!

Decorating my Billy Bookcase with Thrifted finds

The mirror and the weather vane came from Goodwill and the green metal letter came from our local Barn Show which carries vintage and handmade items.

Poems from Shakespeare and Company in black iron frame

These black iron frames are reminiscent of something from the Magnolia line from Joanna Gaines. I added them to the shelves in my sitting room which you can read more about here.

Goodwill Candle Holder

I picked up two of these little candle holders for $2 and added them to my DIY shelves in my sitting room as well.

DIY shelves and a Goodwill Makeover

You can see the Goodwill finds here on my DIY shelves.  The cabinet is a $40 Goodwill find.  You can read more about it here.

Buffet-with-Shelf-and-Carrera-Marble-top-768x1024

All of my white dishes and pottery come from Goodwill.  I use it to decorate my buffet and shelves and all my glass front cabinets in the kitchen. I have found some great pieces of white ironstone.

Obviously, I have a little obsession with candle holders.  I have more but won’t share them all today.

Ladders and Lighting

Still one of my favorites…the teak boat ladder was a yard sale find.  Speaking of ladders, I bought a 10 foot vintage ladder which is still sitting at the store because it wouldn’t fit in my car! Yikes, I need to pick it up this week. I hope it is a glorious as I remember it to be! I will share it when and if I get it home.

I still adore this golden beauty.  I have a ton of golden thrifted lovelies.  You can search “gold” in my search bar and look up more of my favorites.  I kind of went on a gold binge for a while.  I tend to get hooked on something and shop it like crazy, hence all the candle holders, gold items, mirrors, letters, the list goes on and on.  You get my point!

 

Christmas Mantel with pops of red

Excuse the Christmas photo but I love this picture with my yard sale chippy white frames! Yep, love them. If you got this far, thank you for sticking it out! I have sooooo many more goodies to share but I get the feeling we are all on overload!  Stay tuned for another post later this week where I will share some more of my favorite cheap treats!

Until Next Time,

Window Shopping at the Consignment Store

May 6, 2016 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Today I stopped by one of our local Consignment Stores and did a little window shopping.  Since my husband is busy working on a new project in the garage which includes cleaning up and clearing out the garage, I didn’t feel like it would be such a great idea to bring in more stuff,  so I  decided to window shop instead.  Of course today was the day that I found several pieces that I liked…a lot!

Wooden counter stool that would look awesome in my kitchen!

These wooden counter stools almost came home with me today.  I think these would look great  in our kitchen.  I wasn’t sure about the low back on them though but having said that…gosh, I still think they are perfect! If these stool are still there once they make their final price drop, they just may make their way home with me!

Old white wicker furniture

Outdoor Wicker in White

Check out all of this white wicker.  These pieces are large and fabulous! We bought two old wicker chairs for the Island Home several years ago and they are my favorite outdoor chairs! I really, really like this set as well.  Do I need them? No! They are just so awesome!

Metal Garden Furniture

White Outdoor Metal Chairs

More outdoor furniture that I love.  I still might go back and pick up two of these chairs.  I think I would paint them black and put them on my sunroom porch off of the front of the house. I already have a table, chairs and a bench out there that is painted black and I still need a bit more seating. These just might work!

Apparently, today was chair day.

White Leather Desk Chairs

I was looking for something like this about a year ago for my office and one of these would have been perfect.

More chairs…

Ghost Chairs in a smoky grey

Ghost chairs in a smoky grey, I am not sure if I am a fan or not.

Black Metal Chairs

These black metal chairs on the other hand, I love.  They remind me of the chairs Joanna Gaines uses a lot to style her homes on The Fixer Upper. They are new and still wrapped in foam packing.

Painted Gray Wood Cabinet

Lastly, I wanted to share this cabinet.  I think this grey cabinet is adorable.  It has a lot of detail and my favorite part about this piece is the little shelf on top.  Too bad I have nowhere to put it!

The shop had so many great pieces today and it was hard to keep this trip just a window shopping excursion but I did! I need to make sure when I leave the gym tomorrow that I turn left instead of right or some of these piece my find a new home right here with me!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed a peek into my shopping trip.

I hope you all have a great weekend…Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there and to all the people that have loved another person like a mom. Enjoy your weekend!

Until Next Time,
