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!!

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!

Thrifting Thursday

August 14, 2014 By Meegan 2 Comments

Hey there! Welcome to Thrifting Thursday! I am excited to show you what I found recently while I was out thrifting. I just love me a good deal, don’t you? I haven’t been a thrifter for very long, but I have always loved a good deal when I find one.

I started thrifting about 4 years ago. While finding my style, and creating a new look for our home, I started shopping at local thrift stores. Things would catch my eye. And for a couple of bucks I could paint it, change it up and make it my own. That’s how it all began.

Now onto Thrifting Thursday…

Oh my goodness! Can you believe this was only $10…

Thrifting with Meegan

April 25, 2014 By Meegan 2 Comments

While I was traveling this past month, I had a chance to visit and shop in many thrift shops. Today I am bringing you along as I go Thrifting with Meegan.

My first thrift stop was in Oregon. I walked down the street through my daughter’s town to see all the thrift shops. It was rough, as you can see. (wink)

Bring Spring & Summer In with Thrifted & Antique Finds

May 14, 2013 By Meegan 1 Comment

Good Morning! Today I am going to share a few of my antiques and thrift finds.

I love glass. I love blue glass. I love antiques. I love to go antiquing. I love thrifting. I love what I find when I go thrifting. Hence I love sharing with you some of my antique finds and thrifting gems. Some of these are gifts and others I bought my self.

Here are just a few of my antiques and thrifted items that I have put together in our living room recently. The colors say “Spring is here and Summer is coming soon…”

Right off the bat I have black and white family pictures. They really are all our family. I didn’t purchase these. The frosted blue insulator is one of my favorite antique finds. I love the waves in the glass.

All of these pieces were found at our local thrift store. Yep, even the blue Mason jar was found there for a buck!! Yes!! The 2 vases are from my friend Barbara. I found the candle stand when it was a yucky,dirty brown-of course, I painted it shades of blue.

While I was taking pictures for this post, a package came from my daughter. Guess what was in it?? Two more insulators!! One almost clear, and the other a deep turquoise. My kids know me well. They were both found at an antique mall near my daughter’s home.

On my bookshelf, I placed my galvanized watering can. Hubby bought it for me years ago while antiquing in California. The watering can blends well with the black and white pictures, don’t you think?

The galvanized pot with the blue ribbon is what I used for Easter. The blue bottle is from another antiquing trip in Morro Bay, CA.

The small urn was not found thrifting or antiquing, but at Big Lots for $2. I brought it home,painted it white, and filled it with green moss. (Can you tell I like paint?)

I really like all of these elements placed together.

The tray was a thrift find for $1, as was the turquoise vase. The other 2 vases were also from Barbara.

The marbles and sea glass were purchased at Target on sale. Lucky me! Using different levels and vessels I can bring Spring and Summer into our home with very little cost or effort.

Those are just a few of my antiques and thrift finds. I am still working on a thrifted dining table and chairs that I will share very soon. I can’t wait till you see it!

Until then..
