My Thrift Finds

March 2, 2013 By Meegan 11 Comments

I haven’t always looked for thrift finds.  But, in just the past few years it has been a fun hobby for me. Today I wanted to share a few of my thrift finds from the past few weeks plus a few more!  So exciting!!

My Thrift Finds

The grapevine ball was $1, basket $1, the candle stick 50 cents, and the shelf was $3.

I had fun changing the shelf up to this:

I just love this $3 shelf in our office!!

On another trip to the thrift store, I found this:

My Thrift FindsI know!!  $5-who could resist???  I was so excited to spot a lovely shutter!!

My Thrifting FindsI have already been playing around with the shutter using layers of paint.  I will be showing you that next week.  I can’t wait!!

Hubby knows me so well.  He took me to a HUGE warehouse sale yesterday.  I have been looking for a small table for our place.  Just big/small enough for the 2 of us. And then a place for the grand babies to sit while they eat, color, play games, etc…

My Thrift Finds

Yep!!  We paid $10 for each item!  I am so stoked!  The table is solid wood with a vinear top, made in the 70s.  The chairs are solid wood as well.  They were made in the 60s.

Seriously!  A dining set for $30!!  I can’t wait till my paint brush gets ahold of these!!  I have great plans for these beauties!!

Do you shop thrift stores??  What are your fave finds??

A couple of other thrift finds I have found a $10 coffee table:

I like simple crafts. And if they don’t cost a lot of money, even better.  My Framed Cardboard Chalkboard from a cereal box fits both of those.

My Framed Cardboard Chalkboard

I found this lovely frame at the thrift store for 75 cents.  She is an oval metal frame, and with the right paint and additions I can find a place for her in our home.
