Remember that whole no-more-chairs rule I came up with? Yeah, I think it is safe to say it is officially nullified. It was going great, until I drove passed this chair outside of a furniture store. I kept on driving and even made it all the way home. Then a few days went by and […]

May Thrift Store Finds
Unlike last month, when I didn’t bring much home from the thrift store department, there was a lot I found this month. Some things were more unnecessary than others – I’m looking at you, records with no player – but some things I have had my eye out for for a while. For instance, this globe. Although […]
April Thrift Store Finds
This may come as a bit of a shock; I haven’t been browsing thrift stores as often. Going into a thrift stores was beginning to feel more like a survival game with two (sometimes three) children in tow while weaving through the aisle, unlatching baby hands from clothes hangers, and attempting to make it out […]
Collected Art Wall
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 […]

March Thrift Store Finds
Considering it is April 1st – you know, April Fools – I almost thought writing this post was a joke. As in, you mean to tell me I’m sharing March thrift store finds on the first day of April?! Psssh, yeah right. Well, the joke is on me because here I am, sharing all the cool […]
February Thrift Store Finds
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 […]
A New Tweed Chair
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 […]
January Thrift Store Finds
I am running pretty late this month for showing off my thrift store finds for January; don’t worry though, there were some pretty memorable finds in the first month of 2014. I should first start off with showing you these old cookie cutters I found in December – oops! I even used one to make […]
December Thrift Store Finds
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 […]
