Living Room Update, Thrifting and Deals

September 17, 2013 By Meegan 14 Comments

Hello Hello!  Have you been as busy as I have been?  I can only imagine that you have.  I am now I am happy to share a living room update, thrifting, and deals.

I have been to just about every thrift store around looking for a new coffee table.  Ours is just a little too large for our space.  One day I dropped Hubby off at work, saw a Garage Sale sign, and I pulled right in.  Looky what I found!!

Living Room Update, Thrifting and Deals

Yep, I found a new coffee table for $15.  He had it marked for $20 but I got it for $15-SCORE!  Still wondering if I should paint her. What do you think?

After visiting and looking through several thrift stores the same day, I found this beauty for $3:

It’s a true vintage mirror.  It was leaning up against the shelves, on the floor.  Just waiting for me to pick her up.  I saw the shape and the price and I KNEW I needed her.

I know I shared my living room update a few weeks ago.  I mentioned then that I was looking for a new rug.

I shopped and shopped for a new rug.  While I looked and browsed I found these candlesticks:

 Don’t you love the color blue and the mercury glass together?  SO pretty and again, calling my name to buy them…

Can you see why I NEEDED them??  Look at that price!!  Target was good to me that day.

While still rug shopping, I bought 3 rugs.  Tried them all out, and nothing seemed to work until I found this lovely…

Again, at Target.  Doesn’t the rug look great with my $15 coffee table?  Love it!!

With the coffee table and new candlesticks, this place is looking great!

Doesn’t she look lovely with the bookshelves???

Here’s the difference:

Yep, I would say I made a great choice.  It is light, with a bold print, and just the right colors to add in our living room.

I would say my living room update, thrifting and deals were a great success, wouldn’t you???

What good deals have you found recently?  What have you been looking for for awhile to change up your home?  For me it was a rug.  I am so happy to have finally found one just right for us.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I am blessed to have you here.

Make it a terrific Tuesday!

    The rug makes a huge difference in the room. It’s just the right touch. Love all your thrift store finds!! I like the contrast the coffee table gives to the whole room. My vote is to keep as is, but I know whatever you decide, it will look amazing! Beautiful room!!

      Laura,
      Thank you very much. I love the candle sticks, too. They were the icing on the cake after buying the rug :)

    You are amazing in your shopping! I had to laugh when you showed the stickers on the bottom of those candle stick holders, otherwise the prices might not have been believable. Amazing!
    Yes, I think you should paint the coffee table and I think it is a better size for the room. Keep on having fun because we all enjoy and just shake our heads!
    Love!

    Wow! You had a great shopping day! Those candlesticks are awesome and such a score! And I love the coffee table too. I’m usually the first person to say paint it, but I like the contrast of the dark wood. Lovely!

    Great finds Meegan! Your living room is so inviting, especially so because it is done in my favorite colors :) Isn’t bargain shopping the best? Thanks for sharing your loveliness.
