My Scores at the Thrift Store

July 18, 2016 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

This summer is flying by much too quickly. In fact, I was almost in tears today when I saw the back to school supplies out at the local drug store. Really, can we not just enjoy the month of July before we have to prep for school? #dreadingit

We just got back from a vacation with my 4 brothers and their families and it was the best! I am so sad that it is over.  I cannot even put into words how great this beach trip was for all of us!  I am happy that my boys were able to spend time with my side of the family.  I hope we can do it again next year!

I was actually able to hit up a few thrift/antique stores and a Goodwill while on vacation.  I picked up a few fun things for the Gman for his birthday in August.  I will share those later.

Today has been a day of getting back on track after almost a month of traveling. I went to the gym this morning and I treated myself to some thrift shopping afterwards.  I scored big today, for me anyway!

My thrifting scores

I am always on the hunt for white dishes and serving ware. Today I picked up two large pieces that were originally from Potterybarn. I scored a large serving bowl and a large platter.

I also found a white planter for my little Olive Tree.  I have always wanted an Olive Tree.  I am not sure how long this one is going to last.  He was looking a little droopy when we got home from the beach.

I also scored two corning ware bowls that are range top, oven and microwave safe.  These bowls are so convenient for the day to day meals and snacks. I think I now have a total of 6 of these bowls that I have picked up over time.

Lastly, I am sharing another cloche.  When I first saw it, I thought it would look good on the book case in my home office.  It was another thing that I walked by and thought, if it is still there when I am done searching the rest of the  shop, I will pick it up.  It was there and it was 50% off…I spent  a whopping $2 on it.

I keep adding little bits to my bookcase.  I need to post another update on the styling of it.  I keep the base objects the same and just add or rearrange the rest.  It is hands down my favorite DIY that my husband and I have done together.

Well, that is all for today.  I hope you have enjoyed a glimpse into my thrifting adventures.

Until Next Time,

Thrift Shop Thursday #20

October 22, 2015 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

I feel like this week has totally gotten away from me. Things have been crazy busy.  Over the weekend, my husband and I took the Gman to Universal Studios in Florida.  He is a huge Harry Potter fan. It all started when he was in the third grade.  I would read one chapter a night to him. I was so sad when we read the very last chapter of book 7.  We read from that series every night for almost two years. It was so sweet to watch him in the park.  I am so glad that is something we were able to share with him.

Since we have been back home, I have been trying to get back into the schedule of school and the gym.  I am also slowly decorating for fall.  By the time I get around to it, it will be time to start decorating for Christmas!(I have already started shopping…I know that drives some people crazy when I say that.)

O.K. getting back to Thrift Shop Thursday #20.  This week I am sharing some of my finds from the past.  When I went to Goodwill earlier in the week, I found another Ironstone piece so I thought I would share some of my earlier pottery and dishes that I have been collecting.  Most of these treasures have come from Goodwill with a few from consignment shops as well.

On my last trip to Goodwill, ( o.k. I admit it, I go to Goodwill about 3 times a week. This is how my mind works…I work out at a Pilates Studio then I treat myself to a Goodwill trip, sometimes I choose a vintage shop but right now I am obsessing over Goodwill and the new store right down the road has not even opened yet) anyway as I was saying, I found a few more white pieces to complete my shelves in the Dining Room that you can see  here.

I really like the look of the white dishes on the shelving in both my kitchen and dining room.  I found this ironstone platter (I really don’t know much about ironstone but I like my platter and I LOVE the Goodwill price.)

White on White in the Kitchen

I have been working on styling my glass front cabinets in the kitchen.  I love the look of white on white.  Eventually, I would like to switch out all of my dishes and platters to white.  Mixing all the different pieces looks cohesive but adds a different touch.

I have been collecting white dishes and white ironstone…basically, any type of white pottery that I find unique.  I found some great pieces at Goodwill.  I also found a few pieces at the local thrift/consignment shop.  Another thing that I am really into lately is vintage cutting boards.  I like the look of the white with the wood tones in the backgound. We saw some really nice cutting boards in Italy over the Chistmas Holiday which just fueled my desire even more.
