Huge Home Decor Thrift Haul!

What's your favorite find from my haul? And what decor items have you obsessed with lately?!

YES!!!! so glad you got that table, I wish I lived close enough to help your Dad rebuild it into something usable for your space.

Because of your videos I have been going to Goodwill on Tuesdays (I'm over 55) to buy frames primarily. I have a large number of pictures I have wanted to frame and the options at Goodwill are amazingly high quality and amazingly inexpensive. In the process I have picked up items that just needed to be hung: a huge photo of the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, still life painting from the 60's in original frame, and a framed print of a bullfighter from the '60's too-- something that not that long ago I would have hated, and now, I cherish, saving it for another generation, I hope.

Those little French prints are images by the artist Erté, one of my personal favorites. He did fashion illustration, sculpture and design in the 1920's in Paris. Nice Singer! if you turn it over you should be able to find its serial number on the base plate and look it up on the index. My vintage Singer is a 100 years old this February and still going strong with a new treadle belt. There is a couple little online specialty shops for parts. You might have found a rare tabletop featherweight judging by the case, so definitely look it up.

I was laughing at Queenie growling at your lamp. My Ella used to do that whenever I brought in something new.

I have that same M.C. Escher print (along with a few others). I paid more than $6.00 for it, lol. I appreciate your eye for style. I love every item you picked up! The metal pendant lamp will definitely look better with a larger bulb. And what a bargain on that $50 table! Glad you grabbed it and can modify it to fit the space. Lots of great deals. Win wins all around, although Queenie seems to disapprove of that lamp 🤣 I do like your idea of using magnetized wood strips on a string to hang art on. I'm using that more often because I love the added decorative element to a wall (and break up the monotony of square frames) plus eliminates the hassle of matting and/or getting glass cut to size.

Would. Rather shop these stores than anywhere else! Great finds!❤

3 things : the geometric chandelier is awesome. Before you even mentioned it, I thought it screamed for a larger bulb, and then voila, you showed us you thought the same thing. I think you could even go larger than the one you found. I do think the bulb itself should sit it the center of the outer sphere tho, so maybe shorten the tube it hangs from. The dining table is superb. Could you possibly use the amount you trim off to make into benches for seating ? Or shelves. I have a few of those old sewing machine parts folding boxes, they are so cool. And yes, shipping fees suck, but forget about it, the lion head was totally worth it.

I love the sewing machine!! I am a costume designer and i use treadles all the time (I own 3 of them), they will sew through anything. . .very satisfying. Just need to give them some oil and some love and they will do well. Again, thank you for all the great content!

Ooooooh a black shade on that brass lamp base will look so good, like a bit of an art deco look, will. Look good with the three vintage prints from the flee market. I also love the ship print, can't wait to see the whole look yu are going to put together for your living room.

I so happy you grabbed that huge table!

I live for Queenie moments! so hilarious!!! and you got some amazing deals, your Restore and Goodwills have much better deals than I've seen lately. My faves have to be the globe lamp on marble base and the $2 copper kettle. Wow.

In the 1970's I took wood shop in high school. We all had to make some version of a wood shelf with mirror in the book. Your wood mirror with shelf definitely reminds me of that.

Oooh, I make stain glass. Would be cool to fill in at least a few of the triangles in the light fixture with glass.

Although I have had a home for many years, I have never been to a goodwill or general thrift store, but in looking at what you bought, I am more prone to the natural wood pieces. Also, I love the terracotta mask. I LOVE the map, and have been on the lookout for one, but they are hard to find. The ship would be a favorite of my brother, who actually builds ships in bottles as a hobby. Love the Asian style lamp, and table, although that is not my vibe, but it can change. The sewing machine hit home. When I was growing up, my mother had a singer sewing machine similar to that one, in black. It made me think of her and the many hours that she used it. Keep it please.

What a bonanza! When shopping/thrifting one's mind is always fixed on the potential be it altered or not. Favored pieces: ginger jay lamp, the side Asian table, the 3 Italian prints do sing. Even though you'll cut down the table, the legs alone would be incredible pieces as pedestals or simply pieces of display art. If you ever decide to share households, oh the decisions you will have to make.

Queenie doesn't like the brown shade either. Btw: that pillow was a score!

I am chuffed that you did purchase the dining room table! In the video when you found it, I thought the details on the bases and top were just lovely, and that you could make it the length you'd like! I also adore the atrium lamp - perfect for that spot. Lately, I am into vintage made in England ironstone and pottery. Was fortunate to pick up 4 plates for $3 apiece at a local thrift store. The thrill of the hunt!!

Love those prints from Italy! The ships bookends are also such a vibe! ❤ QUEENIE!!! ❤❤❤❤

You've scored some fantastic items! I'm really excited to see how you make them your own and bring them into your space.
