Hey, I made it to a thrift store last month! Can you believe it? I’ve even been to one this month, but I’ve been pretty picky with what I’ll actually buy. I blame this crazy nesting, clean-all-the-things phase I’m going through. One thing I didn’t hesitate to bring home were these vintage Jell-O molds. I […]
I found one thrift store item in October which wasn’t even from a thrift store. Technically, it doesn’t count as a thrift store find but we’ll just go with it anyway. Due to things like pregnancy, exhaustion, and the urge to declutter, I haven’t been going to many thrift stores lately. I found this vintage Twister […]
For months now, I’ve been in the process of turning our girl’s shared bedroom (the one that used to be our’s) into a functional space for sleeping, playing, and storing everything in between. After painting the room but before hanging the black-out curtains, I installed this wall full of shelves. I used Rubbermaid shelving tracks and […]
I’ve been keeping an eye out for a new bed frame for my son for quite some time. He previously had a bunk bed mattress – from his previous bunk bed – on a metal bed frame. When it came time for an upgrade to a proper mattress, we landed on this foam mattress. That […]
I have a thing for lamps, which is sort of like my thing for chairs; I’m always looking out for vintage lamps at thrift stores. After a few months of no such luck and needing (or wanting?) a lamp, I decided to make one. After all, I already had experience in rewiring one. I set […]
This wall, in my son’s bedroom, used to sport a collected gallery wall which included everything from an octopus to a canvas painting to a Mario mushroom. Once our toddler moved into her little sister’s bedroom, it was time to readdress this wall. After months of hoarding thrifting, I finally assembled this gallery wall. So […]
Here’s a fun little fact: this post marks one full year of thrift store shopping recaps. I know, it’s a pretty big deal, I bet it just drastically changed your day. On top of that, I found some pretty noteworthy things this month, like this chair I shared last week as well as another dining […]
I found this mid-century tweed chair at an estate sale a couple of weekends ago and couldn’t wait until my monthly Thrift Store Finds recap to share it. You see, I’ve been searching for a chair to replace this antique store find ever since Eliana mistook the wicker as a pull-toy. I had been looking […]
I’ve been on an organizing frenzy lately, which I cannot blame on pregnancy hormones this time around. Storage and organization can be challenging when living in a 700 square-foot home. My usual remedy to an organizing kick is to clean out our three closets and kitchen cabinets, but less things have been turning up in […]
December was a borderline chaotic month and that all seems to be spilling over into January. Chaos, though, is a good reminder that life isn’t boring, right? Because of said chaos, I didn’t find many things in December, which I am not complaining about – that kept the chaos down! However, out of the few […]
