Do It Yourself Home Decor {Thrift Shop Finds}

Do It Yourself Home Decor {Thrift Shop Finds}
I love decorating my house with thrift shop finds.  Remember this basket design on my wall?  It still gets thousands of pins on Pinterest every month.  **smile**

Not only is shopping at a thrift store cheap, but there is a thrill in finding something good!

I'm addicted.  I admit it, ok?  But, to share in my addiction, I thought it would be fun to share a picture reel of my favorite thrift shop finds that I've used for my DIY home decor.

Here is my new favorite view in my house.

 
It shows off my most recent thrift shop finds.  Those three vintage suitcases that you all saw on my Facebook page last week still make me smile when I walk by.  They are filled with crafting supplies.  And Jonah calls them his "treasures".


And this lovely textured oil painting that I almost didn't get last weekend.  I'm not sure how I could live without it now that I see the difference it makes on top of my craft cabinet.


I chose not to hang it on the wall, but just allow it to lean against it.  Just a DIY home decor tip {or a lazy mom who doesn't want to hammer during naptime}.

I'm also preeeety excited about this nice collection of plates I'm gathering. My hope is to create something similar to this pin on Pinterest.  With plates that I'm absolutely in love with.


And you may have seen how I decorate with vintage pillow cases at Christmas time.  Well, I did it again with this lovely mustard dream and a yarn-crafted wall art I found.


And I'm still loving my DIY centerpiece.  Although, it looks so much better with a constant bouquet of flowers on it.  {Dear husband... are you reading this?!}


And finally, my adorable blue, teal, and cream book spine collection.  I'm going to rip the spines off these for another project.  For now, the are resting peacefully on my bookshelf.


Ahhhhh... I'm already wanting to head out to the thrift stores again.  Wish you all could join me.

DIY Centerpieces

diy centerpieces

Last week, my sweet friend brought me flowers.  She actually was returning a vase I had loaned her, and as if some southern charm were emerging here in the Upper Midwest, she returned it full of beautiful flowers.

Aren't they beautiful?





Something just felt too empty about the table, though.  Looking around, I saw a cool frame I'd bought at the thrift store the day before.  After adding some scrapbook paper behind the glass, an instant centerpiece stand was made!


Cute, right?


And to finish off the week, can I show you what I've been hard at work creating?
