So fun to hear you talk about Oceanside. I was born there almost 67 years ago. Have never been back but would love to. I'm happy that your channel is doing well. You deserve it.
Happy sunny Sunday, LK! I believe your home is speaking to you, and you are definitely listening! The picture frame with the green velvet trim is about 50 years old, so you scored with that one! Looking forward to seeing what you find to grace its interior!
Loved that carved Mexican cabinet! My home (Arizona) is rustic, saltillo tile with mostly 2nd hand unique finds, so I can relate to your love of treasure hunting!
I love the green glass bowl. I have a few pieces that are similar in style and are quite valuable. You should check the bottom for an etched makers mark. Sometimes they are quite small and easy to miss.
You're right. Sometimes it takes a while to get inspired to make a change to a space, and you never know when inspiration strikes or what becomes the piece that sparks.
I’m with you on the Mexican sideboard and the dark citrus still life. They’re beautiful. If I were out shopping at estate sales and thrift stores, I doubt I’d have as much restraint as you do, even though I have no more wall space for art and just bought a 1950s sideboard that I love!
I recommend your channel to everyone! Omg, if those places were near me I'd have to mortgage the house. The amount of great stuff is mind boggling. I know how it is when you don't buy something and think about it for weeks later. Groan!
Loved that Mexican buffet cabinet, would love to find some wooden coasters like you bought , now I will have something new to find, thanks, Have A Good Week
As one of your newbies, I’m so excited to be here! Your style is very similar to what I like and a great source of inspiration. Please don’t feel like you need to respond to every comment, we’re happy to just be here and say hi. 👋 I don’t know how the algorithm brought us together, but congrats on the new success!
I really enjoyed this video, so many cool things. I think old California diner an awesome vibe for the kitchen and breakfast nook. I love the colours in the artwork and it seems like it suits you well. I’ve heard San Diego is a really nice place to live, how do you like it compared to LA? Besides the flea market aspect. I have no idea being Canadian myself 😅
Thank you! I love it much more to be honest. So much is the same as but way more nature and clean air here. And the long beach flea market for example is only about an hour or so away so it’s not too bad to commute out there!
I also have those deer, original owner lol. Yes, I'm a dinosaur, but I own it, lol. So I admire your aesthetic, openness to a variety of styles, and your good "eye" for design. You also make great videos!
I was dying over all the art pieces in that second home! I've never been to an estate sale, are they normally that expensive? I am not saying the artwork isn't worth it, but it is almost unaffordable for normal people
Many times the prices are reduced each day (first day, full price. Second day, 25% off. Third day, 50% off.) so it’s worth going back to see if something you really like is still available.
So it varies from estate sale to estate sale. Also makes a huge difference which city you’re in! There’s an estate sale company out here that always has outrageous prices and another that I love that’s always affordable. You just have to get out there frequently to get a better idea! Some sales are 1 day and some 2 or 3. Some discount it 25% on the second day and some only 25% on the 3rd. I’d say I only really pay a higher price for something if it’s really worth it. I think the art at that sale was a bit overpriced and those lamps for example you could resell for quite a lot so $50 wasn’t bad considering you could buy a $50 lamp at Target that isn’t half as interesting. They are taking resellers like antique shop owners, vintage resellers, etc in consideration too so it’s quite a vast business lol
I live in East County San Diego and I really enjoy seeing the the places you go. Thrifting is my jam too 😊 I'm definitely igoing to check out the place near Liberty Station .
I love your Vlogs! I grew up in San Diego and we used to go to the Spring Valley swap meet. I don’t even know if it’s still there as it’s been many, many years ago.
Hey LK, I'm so happy for you with your channel growing. You seem so down to earth and sweet, so I'm not surprised. If you happen to see my comment . I'm realty trying to get to LA this year. I want to go thrifting/antiquing in La. I always see Drew and MaCenna go and we don't have good stuff anywhere near me in Central, Tx. I do try and catch estate sales now and try to get out of town to thrift when I can but I've only found some real big frames and a vintage mirror I got on an online auction but I really want to do a gallery wall and need some smaller ones. Anyways There channels are so big I know I'd never get a reply back but I'm wanting to know the best places to go while I'm there. At least the best flea/vintage market? They all seem to be on different weekends of the months, so I'll only be able to go to one I guess. If I'm looking for vintage/ornate frames. I don't even have affordable FBMP frames closer then 2hrs away, and that's for just 1 frame. The style I love in general would be like XOMaCenna's. I love the Olive Atelier and Golden Oldies type vibes but way cheaper.... Lol.
Perhaps the elderly lady with the carpet in her bathroom had originally been from the UK as most bathrooms were carpeted years ago (probably needed to keep your feet warm!) That could not be the reason in California! Thank goodness, for sanitary reasons, most people are not doing this now.
Yes and no. The sale day was already discounted 25% i believe so they probably would not have taken a negotiation. Maybe if it was the last hour on the last day and it still hadnt sold haha
Wow! Proof there's always SOMEONE unpleasable, no matter how talented and creative someone's content is. She has to have the BEST, most professional home decor videos on all of RU-vid, and she seriously deserves SO MANY MORE subscribers! After every one of her videos I've found myself in awe of how skilled she is at making them, so I can't imagine your comment is anything other than sarcasm or a joke, I hope anyway. Move your camera more slowly? Move your eyes more rapidly. If her content moves too quickly for you, I'd suggest adjusting the playback speed.
