[thrifty thursday: from you...the readers]

hi rashon!


i started thrifting a few years ago and have an absolute passion for it!  i first saw you on the 'nate berkus show' and it's been so fun to find people out there in the world that have a passion for thrifting as much as i do and also have the design chops to back up their purchases!!  


i have attached a few pictures of my favorite finds!my living room is FULL of thrifted finds.  the cobalt blue chairs were $25 a piece and the glass top table in between them was also $25 (was originally black, but i spray painted it a cream).  all of the accessories are also thrift finds.
             
i also painted my grandmother's old dresser a beautiful jade green and put it in my bedroom.

my favorite find by FAR has to be the vessel sink in my bathroom!  i found that for $5 at a local thrift store a few years ago and snatched it up without even having a home to put it in!  when we bought our home 3 years ago i was SO excited to finally be able to use it!


thanks again for all the inspiration!

A home filled with thrifted finds is a home full of history! I love to look at big tickets items in catalogs, magazines then I my search begins or I shop my garage stash and do my own version.

I LOVE those blue chairs, and the table in white is so smart!


Love it all!
