@@REISSUED I saw someone on tiktok do merch on thrifted t-shirts, screenprinting over them. I thought that was so cool! (not someone I follow so I have no clue who it was)
Yes more thrifting videos please. I'm so glad that you got the Izod chinos with the dogs, they are way too interesting to pass up. You need to do a fall fashion video with all your thrifted finds. In our house, we are cheap too. We shop at Goodwill at least once a week and we tend to go trash picking in our condo building too, because people will throw out some amazing stuff when they are moving out.
Funny, I hit the jackpot out thrifting today too. Good clothing, none of which I need, but just could not pass the items up because of the pricing. Also got some great stuff to complete my Wizard costume for Halloween this year ! And just 1 chachki.
Look forward to seeing what you do with the Hemnes bookcases. You may know this already, but check the shelf support pegs. It was discovered that original pegs couldn’t accommodate the cabinet sides’ slight bowing, which caused shelves to collapse. (I encountered this myself.) IKEA has longer replacement pegs, which you can probably get free.
I’m going to a cool new to me thrift store tomorrow. If it’s good, I’ll let you know where it is! Never been to that store in Decatur but it looks amazing. Love the lamps! 😍
Such great finds. I could have used the mosaic table on my balcony and the red lamps would be stunning with a shade change. You saw such great pieces on your trips. Dead jealous. Looking forward to seeing how you style the little wooden ornaments, Lovely.
Definitely a 2 or 3 lap shopper , especially in thrift and vintage stores ....I always go back in the opposite direction. You are definitely not crazy for being drawn to those lamps....not my style either, but I would have looked at them least twice!
This was fun.Thanks for letting us tag along on your thrift odyssey. There are a few antique malls in my town and I only go for inspiration, never with intent to buy anything. Those lamps were... special. 😐😜
by the end i started saying with you "but not at that price" haha i loved the extra DIY Diagnosis commentary thrown in, my fav was the stitched frame. so unique.
I love that mosaics are in! I don't love them in every context (on the seat of a chair makes it crazy heavy), but every shape being framed like that is lovely
I know this is going to sound strange, but I have never been in a thrift store before, and I find your thrifting videos very interesting. I don't drive, so they are far from where I live, although I live in a city. I have to use public transit and that can be a pain, when buying large items and/or many items to take home.
You're my charity shop distant Soul brother LOL I op' shopped before it's even popular or a thing & got so expensive. I've a list in my head & open to special items. I have to know where its going & no more trinkets! it needs a home/purpose! LOVE FANS I've a weakness for frames too! I may hide it go home & if I can't stop thinking about it I go back these days, my buffer lol
Your Goodwills are mine too. I love the smaller one, but I visit more than once a week. It’s almost hard to watch you thrift because I see stuff I want. I have found some really great jackets while thrifting. Those big white column shaped lights at the Atlanta store looked like ones in my old Church. They must be restocking at the smaller Goodwill, all the above the clothing racks shelves looked empty. Ohhh, new stuff coming! I also love the hunt.
I haven’t been thrifting this weekend but about a week ago I made a sojourn to the chungus Goodwill past the international district that is the size of a Kmart. Didn’t find a single VHS tape! I have been looking for kitschy ceramic 50’s wall art fish for my bathroom, but ended up with some really neat Italian porcelain instead! You and Matt should come up to Seattle and visit some of the thrift stores up here. We’ve got some good ones!
"60 degrees outside"... In the aftermath of Helene, the pretending might not be necessary for much longer. 🍂 Inside my favorite Goodwill, I need at least two laps, passing through the aisles in different directions each time. The lapels on that mustard blazer! 11:39 -- What's in front of the model ship? A pinkish bowl or dish? The color and freeform shape definitely caught my eye!
I’m a bit shocked you left the bamboo frame in the thrift shop, I would have rugby tackled you for that. I was lucky to find a great antique frame with hideous art in it and ordered a replacement piece on Esty. Loved what you picked up and can’t wait to see you in the shirts and to see how you use the other pieces in your home.
4:30 OMG YES!!! I’m soooo superstitious about a buggy!!! I never grab one when I go in and sometimes end up having to grab one in the middle of the trip because the STITIOUS IS SO SUPER!!!! 😍
You have good thrift stores in your area. My area, north of Tampa, they've raised the prices in the stores. It's a shame to ask what they do, on some items, considering they're all donated.
I've noticed that anytime I go into thrifting with an idea in mind, I close myself off to the possibilities of anything else. Love it when the right item is discovered, and solid NO to mosaics.
Loved the video! So many beutiful things. Here it's getting really cold and the leaves are starting to turn orange. Yesterday it was so cold that I made a pot of Earl Grey tea for the first time since spring. So cosy!
I just found a 55/45 linen/cotten floral duvet that’s begging to be a fall two piece. I love finding the perfect thing, even if I didn’t know I needed it. Thanks for taking us with you guys.
Matt and I have been hitting up estate sales more lately and have found some good stuff! And I don’t really see myself doing an antiques booth since I don’t love the resale game, BUT I will definitely have some pieces leftover after my house is done, so ya never know!
I do love your thrifting videos, especially your commentary! And, yes, I do like mosaic things. I'm impressed with the work that goes into the creation. Some of those lamps were really interesting, but, yeah, so of those prices were kind of prohibitive. There was a piece that looked like maybe it was a hamper 10:28 that would have looked great in your bathroom. It would have matched the design of your walls, especially if painted the same color. Anyway, looking forward to more.
04:48 That birdcage could be cute as Christmas décor. Place a white owl plushie inside it (or 5 big electric candles with different height and poinsettia), scatter fake snow on the bottom. Tie sprigs of pine needles branches, and topped with a big bow. Put it under your tree. It's unique and not your typical Gnomes or Nutcrackers. And you're right, the one on 17:03 is very pretty and luxurious (solid brass), but yikes, the price!
I detest thrift store shopping. It is so depressing. The awful smells and terrible lighting. Never will I wear another’s cast offs. I do not like in-store shopping, preferring to shop online. The times I’ve thrift store shopped, I found absolutely nothing worth buying. Junk, junk, junk. I lack the time and desire to frequent god-awful places like thrift stores. I do donate to charity shops, but our local Goodwill stores have ceased accepting/selling furniture. Yet another reason not to frequent thrift stores. I do enjoy a good antique store because they tend to be curated, though I understand that increases the prices. For me, atmosphere is everything. If the smells and lighting are hideous (and they are) my desire to shop is greatly diminished. I am nearing my 70s and have been planning a long-distance move as well as a Swedish Death Clean. So my local thrift store shoppers, get ready for my donations.
