I love thrifting!!!! And love to do up gift baskets for birthdays or holidays....and find my baskets at the thrift stores. Few dollars compared to the $15 or more you'll spend on a new one from a craft store. Sometimes i use them as is other times I update them with paint or stain.
Liz, I LOVE that thrift store!! It looks so “high end”! I’d love to get my hands on some of those pieces. My mom was a thrift store/antique finder! That one table with the thick leg and round top, I think is what my mom always found was “ back in the day” she said they took old legs off old dining room tables and added a round or square even hexagonal piece of wood to the top and a base for the bottom and made table out of the legs. She found several of these, refinished them and I have them now that she passed. They make GREAT end tables & plant stands! I just can’t get over how stocked and beautiful your thrift store was! Thanks for the inspiration & memory lane.
Great ideas Liz! I love Sherwin Williams paint. I always try to find Habitat for humanity thrift stores. They always have something I need and very inexpensive too. Thanks for the tips I love the tray and the side table!
Hi Liz. You are my favorite DIY. , I love ❤️ to shop in thrift store since I was a little girl. My house is decorated by a thrift shop. Is deferent from all my friends and family. They all call my home. A museum!! Because my decoration those not. Look like any one. Love you’re tips. And you should do more thrifty video. Thank you 🙏. God bless you
I live everything you xreate!!! My favorite is your door/tray, absolutely gorgeous! As always thank you for sharing your creativity, talent and inspiration! Stay safe, healthy and positive! GOD bless you and your family! 🙏❤🇺🇸😊
I love all your secrets and I did them all except the books!! I learned that from you!!! Thank you!!! Painting books is my new obsession!!! I can’t wait to find different sizes each time I go thrifting!!!❤️
I loved the little round side table and it's transformation along with the wooden tray you changed up with adding handles and painting black. Thanks for sharing.
Love the side table and the wood magazine rack. Love wooden projects. Also love how the rose basket turned out. I used to collect baskets but when I moved I had to get rid of alot of them. My mom just passed away and she had 3 wooden cutting boards hanging in her kitchen that my dad made. I decided to turn them into a craft project. Also my dad had made a wooden tissue box cover and a sorted letter holder which I plan to redo.
I love your videos! You are so crafty, creative, and resourceful. I live in Florida. We have a lot of thrift stores. Your videos inspire me to go dig around. Thanks for making pandemic life a little brighter with your awesome vids!!!!
The little side table is so beautiful, what a find. I love the tray, turned out just lovely. Absolutely loved all of your thrift store finds. Thank you for sharing your tips!💕😊
Thanks for being humble enough to admit your fails! 😄 It makes me feel less bad when I have one. Lol! Keep being your gorgeous self! Loved all the crafts.
That side table was a steal! Normally I prefer darker stain on wood furniture but I really liked the natural stain color you used. I get a lot of planters at the thrift stores as well. My husband has a special glass cutting bit as well that I have used before to turn glass pieces in to planters (very carefully with eye protection,) if I like the shape but need the drainage holes! I just spray paint it inside and out and no one knows 😁
Not sure what my favorite was, Because you have so many great ideas and DIY’s. Maybe the first piece which I think was a tray you painted black, put material in the center and added handles. Thank you for all your Great videos. Nicolette
Your thrift stores are organized and have great items. The stores here aren't that way. It makes it harder to find things and frustration sets in so you leave.
Wow Liz I think I have become a witch. As you show the pieces I am telling myself what are you going to do with it and yes you said exatly what I thought😲 Love your ideas.
Be sure to check with your local libraries. They, usually, sell books for .25-$1. Plus, ones they can’t sell, they’re always throwing away. I never pay anything for decor books. Thanks for a great vid!
Thanks for taking us with you! I love the book idea but I have a deep reservation because it would be just my luck to buy one paint it and it turns out it was worth money.....lol
I am redoing my whole bedroom set furniture. And I was just literally thinking of where to get ideas for decor that's not too expensive. You just gave me inspiration! Thank you. Stay safe 🤗
I would love to see a video whereby you go thrifting and you explain to us why you would buy one item over another of similar usage. For example: put two vases side by side and tell why you would buy one but not the other. Would it be the shape, neck size, what it is already made of, and whether it is simple to up style. Etc etc. This way we can get a feel of what you in particular look for at the thrift shop to DIY with. Hope that all makes sense.
My favorite is the side table I loved the chunky center it turned out really nice. I also liked your Idea with the baskets and books. Loved shopping with you thanks.
I really like the video format you are using, how you find an item then cut to the DIY freshening up of the item.👍 Also with buying books from the thrift store or any used books I often find they have Bugs usually silver fish. Have you found a way to get rid of these unwanted “little tag alongs “ before bringing the book into your home?
Our large thrift chain in Canada, (Whose prices are ridiculously high to begin with) do get a lot of crafting supplies, but instead of displaying them where shoppers could browse the items, they throw a hodge podge of them into bags. The bags are see through but despite that, you cannot clearly make out what is in them. I've bought a few and just ended up re-donating most of it back, because it was either junky, or items I would never use. Unfortunately the only other thrift store in town, our SA, does not receive much in terms if crafting supplies. I do appreciate the tips Liz, and appreciate that you show in store, then flipping in one video!
My hubby has told me if something follows me home for keeps, then I have to move something out. But you know that's not always easy especially if you're trying for a specific look. Give me time hubby, it's a work/look in progress!
100%! I've actually found Longeberger baskets for $2!! I've also definitely found planters and candlesticks that I repurposed to look like legit Mackenzie- Childs pieces🥰
I love your ideas and it is fun watching how excited you get shopping. I have discovered I don't have that gene in me that says.....oh look, I can make this ugly thing look great. Keep posting and I will keep getting inspired. 🥰
So Awesome. Thanks for the time you spent on this video. Its always a learning experience. You are the best. I appreciate you! Take care. Hugs Sheryl 💙🎨💙
I love thrifting! Oh and of course antiquing! Such great stuff and sometimes you just find the most amazing stuff to craft. In fact... I have so much. That I'm now crafting my stash for my group, cause let's face it. We get so much at times, we have to! Lol
Love the side table beautiful,and that tray came out really highend like always with all your tray you make ♥️love the thrift store shopping videos so many good finds!!! ☺️
Absolutely love the side table! Today I actually went to the thrift store and I was thinking of you as I picked up two vases, a lot of the items were over priced, they even had dollar tree items marked up to $3.00, but the vases were $2.99 and pink tags were, 50% off, so it was a win
So true about the pricing. I'm old enough to remember when thrift stores were cheap (before RUclipsrs gave away all the secrets😉). I'm all for supporting charities and repurposing but I'm not spending more for dirty used things than I would get them new. Some thrifts have lost their minds with pricing.
Our local recycling center has a big "book exchange" receptacle, so if you are looking for random things to paint, fold, etc., that would be a free place to look.
Nice finds! 🙂👏 Love that sidetable! I'm working at a thrift store so I have "the first floor" to all the goodies that come in! Love the baskets and I bought some old books with beautiful covers yesterday. It'll be fun to use them in my decoration. I'm not as keen to use modern items at my home because my style is more old fashioned but some things will do ok, I've noticed. One can always take some tips and chance a bit 🙂
The side table was my favorite . Thanks for the ideas on what to look for at the thrift store. I don't alway look at the furniture , because I think there to much.
I love thrifting!!!! And love to do up gift baskets for birthdays or holidays....and find my baskets at the thrift stores. Few dollars compared to the $15 or more you'll spend on a new one from a craft store. Sometimes i use them as is other times I update them with paint or stain.
Gifts in a basket always feel more special!
My favorite is the side table. The stain really brought out the wood grain. What a terrific find!

You spark my creativity and make me want to refurbish furniture. One day I actually will!

I love the side table. My thrift stores carry a lot of clothes and not a lot of other items so I don't find much when I go to them.
The round side table you sanded is spectacular! You did a great job. I think I’ve seen similar at Ballard Designs.
Another great video Liz!!! Love all the ideas! Shopping anyone? 🛍️😁
