How to Decorate with Goodwill Bargains to Create an Eclectic Look

January 14, 2017 By stylishrevamp 4 Comments

Hello and Happy New Year.  Gosh, is it too late to even say that now.  I have been slacking here on the posting but I do have a 1000 different projects running through my brain. Hopefully, some of the larger projects, we will get to later on in the year but for now I thought I would kick of the start of this year by sharing some of my latest Goodwill finds and how I use them in our home to create an eclectic look.

Today I am sharing how I use my Goodwill bargains to create an eclectic look in our home.

So you all know that I love bargain shopping and my all time favorite place is Goodwill.  The fact that it is seconds away from the gym is just an added bonus for me. I kind of feel like if I go to the gym and pound it out, I should treat myself.  Yes, I am pretty good at justifying things like that!  You know another reason I like Goodwill…everyone there from the staff to other customers, are so friendly.  Last week, another customer purchased my two items for me and told me to have a blessed day.  You have to wait until next Christmas to see what these two items were…She wanted to now why I was buying said items and how I was going to use them and we got to talking and she ended up buying several of them as well and thanked me for the ideas!

O.k. on to my latest bargains.  I found another Target Salvage item this week that goes with some of my other office accessories to  complete the look.

I found this wooden letter tray at Goodwill. It is another Target Salvage find and I love it!

How to Decorate with Goodwill finds to Create an Eclectic Look

I like mixing my wood pieces with all of my gold touches throughout the room. The wood is a bit rustic and the gold accents add a bit of glam which to me creates an eclectic look.

While I was at Goodwill, I also found another silver ice bucket. I am always on the look out for these.  I like to use them as planters which I have shared before here.  I like the look of  silver ice buckets, they kind of remind me of the old trophies.

I like collecting silver ice buckets to use as planters.

My silver ice buckets from Goodwill serves as a cheap planter that adds a bit of glam and sparkle.

(notice the bright yellow crow bar on the window ledge…my middle son got this for me for Christmas, he knows me so well!!)

The final Goodwill treasure I am sharing is this sweet little ceramic candle holder.  For mere pennies, I couldn’t leave it behind.

I love little treasure like this one.  To me, it’s a one of a kind.  Most likely, you will not find this exact piece at any other store. I believe by shopping at Goodwill and other consignment shops, thrift stores and local fairs help create an eclectic look in our home.  Not only does it help create the look that I love but it is always great to create a look that I love on a budget!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope your new year is off to a great start.

Until Next Time,

Friday Favorites: Christmas Edition Part 2

December 11, 2015 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Happy Friday! I am so glad the weekend is here.  The Gman and I are going to go on our annual Christmas outing.  We like to go to the local nursery and see the trains and decorations.  Then it’s off to do some of his Christmas shopping and dinner. I love to see how much thought he puts into each and every gift. My middle guy has his last final today and my oldest is home for a week before traveling back to school to take one last final. It should be a great weekend.

Now it is time to share some of my picks for Friday Favorites.  This is part 2 of my Christmas Edition.

Sharing some of my favorite Christmas finds.

Over the past couple of years, I have been filling some of my flower pots with fresh clipping to add some Christmas Cheer outside.  These will last me until late February.  This year I found some Christmas Floral Picks with large plastic ornaments. I found mine at our local Grocery Store but I have seem them at Home Depot too.  I had originally seen this idea on a Sarah Richardson’s Christmas Special several years ago.  (I am still waiting for some new Christmas shows on HGTV.)  This is my take on the outdoor planters.

I love a home all decked out for the Holidays!

Earlier this week, I went to Target.  I have not been there for a while and now I remember why. I absolutely love every single thing in there!  I was trapped for hours in just one section.  The pillows, the lamps, the Christmas Decor…I had to force myself to walk away.  Well, I did pick up  one little thing…

Target Holiday salt and pepper shakers

Are these not the cutest salt and pepper shakers you have ever seen?  I am itching to go back to Target…just to look!

Every year for as long as I can remember, my youngest has asked for Reindeer for the outside.  I have always said no because, 1.)We have so many decoration and 2.) We have no space to store anything else Christmas related.

He would stare longingly at our neighbor’s Reindeer every day and mention how nice they looked.

Well, this is what we have now!

Pre-lit Reindeer from Michaels

This was on sale at Michaels.  There are so many things I like about this Reindeer.   It  folds down into one small section. It all fits inside itself.  I like the glittery gold aspect of it and I like that the head moves when it is lit up.

So Gman, sorry I made you wait almost 10 years to finally get your reindeer! XOXO

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend.

Until Next Time,
