    Most of the furniture in my house is thrifted and I'm always on the hunt for cool treasures. But my most astonishing find was at a yard sale. I was flipping through a stack of old books and when I opened a slightly tattered copy of a book of saints' stories, I found my maiden name in the inside front cover in childish handwriting I recognized as mine. I was states away from where I grew up (like a thousand miles or more) and there on the pile of random books at the house of a stranger was a book I'd been assigned in private school some 50 plus years before! I bought it for a quarter.

    Not my find, butane of my oldest friends found something pretty amazing in a charity shop... her husband!!
    She went in thrifting and came out with the phone number of the guy volunteering that day. They had several dates, and then he popped the question. They thrifted her ring, they both thrifted their wedding outfits and asked all the guests to please wear something they already have or thrift something. Their home is mostly thrifted.
    They actually started to challenge each other years ago, they find something new they want for their home, then they try to thrift an alternative and when they do, they put the cost difference into their travelling fund. So if they see a sofa for 300 and thrift one for 100, they bank the 200 into their savings. They even do that with clothing shopping too, not just home stuff. They say it’s scary how fast that saving fund grows and say it’s horrible to think they’d have just spent that money on “things” they found for far less.
    She now volunteers in the same store with him and they have been there for 20+ years now.

    Can I just say that I love how unapologetically pink your home is? I personally never choose pink in my own home, but I really enjoy watching others decorate to their exact taste (especially if they are expert yet playful decorators like yourself!). Our homes don't all need to look the same, but to me, they all look the most coherent and inviting when they reflect what their inhabitants like rather than some fashionable style template.

  • @maunarose

    Nothing comes close to a pink SMEG fridge, but I have found lustreware, retro lamps, and some very well made wool suits.

    My favorite is an auction find, an 1860 brass plant stand with rose marble inserts for $23. Close second from same auction is a 1920s pink camelback wing chair in excellent condition for $75. My favorite thing from a market is a vintage Limoges bust of Napoleon white top and cobalt blue bottom. It was 40 euros but I love it so much. Your house is so lovely. Love the pink fridge most!! Happy Valentine's Day all!😁🇺🇸🇬🇧🌏😊♥️

    I found a 1950s wardrobe in my local charity shop. I painted it a gorgeous yellow for my quirky little boy. Inside the wardrobe there are shelves with words typed on them...”pyjamas” “underwear” & “shirts”...so unique!!

    I had to giggle when you said it is pretty old, probably from the 70s or 80s.🤭 I am born in the 70s🤣. My daughter found your channel a couple of years ago and now even my mom (who does not like social media at all) loves your videos.

    My favorite thrifted item is a complete Japanese art deco tea set for 6 persons that I bought for only 7 euro in my local thrift shop. It's bone china and has beautiful orange flowers and golden edges.

    @momof2momof2 3 года назад +2

    I love your home, pink is my most favorite color. My last home was mostly thrifted.My Mom always complimented me on my home, furniture and decor. She knew most of it was thrifted. I think the quality of the pieces was much better than what can be bought today, unless you spend a fortune. You have put together a very lovely home. tfs Happy Valentine's day 🥰😘🌵🏜️❣️💕💞💓💗💖💘💝❤️‍🔥💌🥰😘🌵🏜️❣️💕💞💓💗💖💘💝❤️‍🔥💌

    A couple of weeks ago I found a beautiful wooden display cabinet with a leadlight door. It's about 4 feet tall and only about half a foot wide and deep so it fits perfectly into a little sliver of wall space I have at the top of my stairs right between a window and a doorway - it could not fit more perfectly if it had been custom built. I've put part of my very large shell collection in it so I can see it as I'm coming up the stairs and there's times when I just stop halfway up the stairs to stare at it because it's so pretty.

    I just love Frenchie!!! One of my thrift finds is a little amazing, to me anyway. It's a little blue and white ceramic doggie. When I was 14 my mum gave me a ceramic coloured doggie, which I have treasured for 36yrs. I just love him. The little blue and white doggie is exactly the same figurine! I have never ever seen another one before. Not in shops, online, at friends place or all the thrifting I've been doing since the 90s, no where. Then last year I found him. Could hardly believe my eyes!

    My best thrift were a 1950s auto ashtray one of the pushy things in yellow £2 and a concrete bust of a female form 50p. I can remember I always did crave and still do a 1960s salon hairdryer.. Wish the charity shops were open. Your pieces are lovely

    What a lovely place with personality and flair. So many youtubers do videos of their apartments and they pretty much look the same: mostly grey & white with a potted plant here and there. Your apartment stands out and you have a great sense of style!!

    I found a stunning side panel at the local antiques shop -red stained maple, beautiful brassy knobs, intricate wood carvings, it's lovely! And it was only $175 CAD, which was nothing because I learned from the clerk it was a 150 year old Amish handmade product! It's in our living room now and it brings me joy everytime I look at it 💗

    I love all the crane and rattan. I have been on the look out for some nice rattan pieces. I've found some great mirrors in the past I was able to thrift an awesome desk but 3 moves and it didn't survive the last one. 😢 I ve found nice wicker pieces, I got a round vintage clawfoot dining table off face book market place for 60 bucks with chairs. I need to replace the chairs and refinish the table but it was a great deal. I got 2 basically new sofa and love seat for an awesome deal too. Thrifted home decor is the best. Love seeing your home it's so cute and totally reflects your style.

    My one thing I thrifted and kept when I down sized was an old wood table that has one of the fold up ends broken off! My plan was to take off the broken piece and have someone make it into a drawer. ... I also have an old washstand that was my grandmother's and we recently sanded and gave it a walnut stain. It looks great! 🇨🇦🌄🏘️😀💓

  • @antonellabassi3466
    @antonellabassi3466 3 года назад

  • @eilishcalnan6974
    @eilishcalnan6974 3 года назад

    I thrifted everything in my two bedroom flat! my favourite is split between two things, a blue and grey bookcase which was collecting dust as a shoe rack in my dad's garage or a beautiful extendable 1920s dining table which we got for free, revarnished, refitted and painted 💓 the lady we got it from said it was her great grandmother's and I'm so glad we were able to give it a home!

    Your home is just yummy! You have a great eye! Beautiful daring and amazing color choices and combinations. Just so pretty and masculine at the same time. My fave 😊Your rooms are so inviting and soft on the eye. I too cannot live without color. It’s everywhere in my home as well. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your kitchen. 💗 You have some fabulous pottery pieces and have displayed them so well! My favorite thing in your kitchen is the little cream colored coffee pot (you called it something else😂 ) by the cutting board that you pointed out. That thing is awesome! 😉 The super cute rattan desk!! 💞 Awesome find. Thrifting for what you love, coming home and cleaning it up, wondering who owned it and where it’s been, and then styling it w your other things or using it to cook a meal or light your book at night or warm your bathroom floor....is the best thing EVER in my opinion. It’s seriously the funnest way to save money EVER! ✌🏼❤️🏡
