Follow me on Instagram: / kristenkhoff You guys... I may have overdone it. I may have gone to TOO MANY thrift and antique stores this week. I found some beautiful pieces that I cannot wait to show you!
I work in a Bible Book Store, and that portrait of Christ as Shepherd is still very very popular. Not certain, but I believe the artist painted the original in the early 50's.
Thank you! Finally someone who says when they think the price it too high! You speak my language. I’m so tired of thrifters saying “oh it’s only $29 when it should be maybe $7. Thank you! 😊
The idea of charity shop’s is that they are cheaper than the high street stores. I volunteer in one and worked in a few. Yes we need to make money for the charity but if we’re going to charge similar prices to the high street stores people will just go to the expensive stores in the end.
The mug with the brushes was a men's shaving mug. The mugs had a cake of shaving cream in the bottom. He would use a wet brush and swirl it around on the cake to get it creamy/foamy then brush it on his face before he shaved. Being Burt's Bees, I'm not exactly sure if that's what it was, but that's what it looks like.
I'm so glad you bought the green wall shelf. It is beautifully made and can be so versatile in your new place. My grandparents in Ohio didn't have an indoor bathroom in their farmhouse until 1967. It was installed off the kitchen in what was a pantry. So I've always understood why bathrooms are either in what used to be a bedroom or crammed in an odd small spot. Can't wait to see your new old house.
Hey. Kristen. I love the way you shop. Everything is for you your family. I can identify with that. Hang in there. People really do need real people up here. I for one am glad when I see folks like you.❤️❤️
Kristen, I think exactly like you do while I’m thrifting! There is one store in town that I rarely go in, because it’s so overpriced. Every time I go in there, I feel like telling them, because nothing moves. It’s always the same items. I can’t see them staying in business. I’m out for the bargains! Great finds, as usual 😊
I love the shelf and the green is gorgeous. The picture of Christ is awesome. He is our shepherd and we are his sheep.loved it. Rug is wonderful. Your haul was awesome. You and me both thrifting is in our system we just have to do it.
You scored some great finds. I love the green shelf and what an excellent price! I love the Jesus picture and the rug is beautiful. Thanks for taking us along. ❤️
Love the shelf and the color of it! Have you noticed prices went up in thrift stores? I did find a steal the other day though. I got matching brass lamps with the white globes and hurricane style both for 10 dollars! They are adorable in bedroom. I get such a thrill when thrifting and getting great deals.
Love the boots and shelf you found. Wow.. that one thrift store was expensive. Your excitement about your new house makes me smile. Thanks for sharing.
I keep finding past videos that I missed and really enjoy! I love your home and all the updates. Im so glad this beautiful home is being brought to its full potential. Love the treehouse and tire swing.
I like everything you purchased. You are practical & think things through before you decide to get something or not. A true bargain shopper! Looking forward to your Marketplace video.😸
Hi Kristen… nice finds !!! Love the boots and they look great with your top ! Oh the rug, the shelf, the sled….. exciting !!! Since you talked about INDOOR BATHROOMS …. My husband is 72 years old and they didn’t have an inside bathroom until he was 8 or 9 ! I can’t imagine having to go outside in winter or the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT to the bathroom! Unheated in snow country ! But they didn’t know any different 🤷♀️ They were a farming family and money was short. I grew up in town with indoor bathrooms. But you are totally correct about “sticking “ a bathroom ( TOILET) in a closet, etc! SO THANKFUL FOR TECHNOLOGY RIGHT ? LOL!!! Can’t wait to see this new house ! So excited for your family ! God bless !
Lol! I have issues with "white Jesus" too...but I was totally hoping you would grab that print!😂 So pretty! And, OH MAN!! I would have grabbed that oil painting even though the bright red doesn't go too much with my colors either...it was so beautiful!!! That's ok...I found TWO gorgeous oil painting when I went thrifting this week!😍🙌 Thank you Jesus! Had fun thrifting "with you"!! Ps..mama of 7 and all our kids clothes are NEVER folded....just into bins or hanging! And over the age of 5 put laundry away and over 8 help with laundry...so I rarely do laundry!🙌😁
Ugh people just need to stop getting offended or with issues about someone’s skin color🤦🏻♀️. Jesus is depicted in all shades of skin color around the world.
I throw all my runners in the wash on cold and delicate, then air dry, and they’ve always turned out ok. These types are rugs are so easy to care for and very low maintenance. I think you’ll really enjoy it!!
Fun video, Kristen! Love seeing what you thinking for the new home, and excited to see your coming FB Marketplace video! I love Marketplace, & have found great treasures there too. Thank you for all the hard work in creating & sharing! Have a great week!
I was going to tell you "keep up your standards, set an example' but You set plenty of good examples. I'm about to turn 64 soon, and I gotta say I don't wish I'd done more time-consuming housework. It's not the hill to die on. Anyway, I discovered you yesterday, thanks for getting me thru this couple of hse-bound days. If you're tired of playing host to every germ, start taking 50 mg of zinc every day and vitamins C and D3.I haven't caught a cold in 15 yrs. Next thrift, get a book on vitamins. Reading is better than folding. Water your plants. Kids are adorable, you're doing great. '
If the suction cups dont work or hold up, Dollar General or dollar tree have white sticky hooks that have stood the test of time in my shower. Can't wait to see ya'lls new house!!! So excited for you!! 😁
Hi Kristen, I was born in Omaha and spent 40 years, moved to warmer climate, Vegas!! Good place to grow up!! You mention Nebraska Furniture ,the best!!Sure do like your house.Brings back memories of are old house in Neb.😀❤
I have got a little hutch like that and just love it.This video makes me wish I was there. Fantastic video, I just found you, will be watching. That shelf is just my style
I love the green shelf and the rug. Both will look beautiful in your new home. Also, I forgot to tell you that i love that new bodysuit you found and looks great with your hair and skin color and those boots with look fab with it, as well. Great finds!
It is a man shaving kit, some good fines. Love all the blue dishes. I would love to find some vintage quilts but yes they are pricy. I also find there are a lot more people enjoy the hunt these days,specially here in southern California we do not have a lot of antique stores where I live so you really need to take a trip out of this area to find some good ones,and yes they are very expensive.
I loved that hutch too! I totally get the antique prices :/ that mirror with the 30% off sign was gorgeous, I also filmed my haul and yes Sara’s October home gives great ideas
Hey Kristen! Boy, did you find some great finds especially the green shelf for $14.99 which is a steal when you consider the price of wood these days! Look forward to seeing you style it in your new house! 💕
So excited to see your new house and all the great things you do with it. Goodwill can get nuts with their prices, I know they need to make a profit and pay workers etc…. But I actually can get the same things cheaper at TJ Max!! LOL That being said I like you haunt the goodwill every week!! Happy hunting:)))))
Franco Sarto boots usually go for at least $100, so that was a good price. I get your point though. Thrift stores really have jacked up their prices.I love the green shelf and glad that you got the toboggan.$5 was a steal! I always think the deals I get balance out the things that I paid more for.The Burt's mug looks like a shaving mug. The brushes look like nail brushes.Maybe someone just threw those brushes with the mug to donate even though they weren't a set. The old school vibe of it would have looked cute in your bathroom though.So excited to see your new house decorated!
As you were shopping I hoped you had picked up that gorgeous green shelf and the Jesus picture. That rug is a wonderful find! Don’t know what I would do without Marketplace these days! So excited to see your new home!
Hello sweet Kristen, enjoyed your video, as always. Your such a blessing, you have a beautiful home and family, love your decor. Take care, hope to see you soon.
Love everything you find and how you decorate your home! I have just gotten into thrifting but not sure how to make it all look good in my home, can you do a video on how you style stuff? 🤗
Love your finds. That sled will fit right in at your new home. Love the green shelf. I’ve been thrifting for about 20 years and love it. Don’t discount antique stores though especially for certain items. Thrift stores have gone up in price that I’ve often found something instead at antique mall. We live in KC and the Brass Armadillo Mall off I70 has great prices. Maybe when the vendor purchases from an estates sale they can offer a better price or watch for sales. But even one of our thrift stores had a crock for $120 that sat there for over a year and I’ve found them at antique stores for $60. You’ll find a crock for a great price I’m sure as you patiently look. 😊 Oh consider calling that antique store and ask them to check with the seller about their best price on those blue chairs you’d want or make them an offer. Never hurts to ask 😉❤️
Hi, Kristen. I am so excited to see you so excited as you find " God Nuggets" for your new home. Isn't the Lord so good even in the small ways of you finding so many items for your family and the new house? Enjoy your new videos. Greetings from Oklahoma. Jane Greene
I love digging through things at thrift stores. It's alot of fun. I don't mind if things are dusty, crusty and rusty. I live in Sioux City. Not too far from you. I can't wait to see how you decorate your new home.
I used to fold my kids’ clothes but I stopped doing it because they would just mess it up anyway. It’s not important when you think about it. I do like to hang up their nice clothes right out of the dryer (but that doesn’t always happen!) Letting go of certain things is very liberating. It takes away some stress of feeling like it all has to be perfect.
Your thrift store has the blue and white bowls I want...😭😉 Aw that old rocking horse & Jesus pic brings back memories! Gosh, they had lots of stuff! I wonder how far past the Ks border that place is. 😁 I love going to Branson for the shopping!🥰 Glad you found your boots!!🙌 Blessings!💖
The prices in those stores were high, but the shelf was a good deal! Luckily in Charlotte, there are still some bargains! But the shelf is a nice substantial piece!
I have just been loving your channel! I also have 3 girls, although mine are older than yours. Thrifting is a hobby of mine also and funny fact. I grew up staying with great grandmother in a house with no indoor bathroom and I am only 35 so it was like 1995 before the house got a bathroom!! Crazy right?!
Kristen, That sled for $5 was the buy of the day! I would definitely wax it before you put it outside. The wood is probably very dry. Some clear wax should do the trick! If you don’t have any you could pick it up at Home Depot for not too much money. You’ll be amazed how it brings out the color of the wood&
I use two maple syrup sap pails (the ones that hang from the tree) in my bathroom to 1. Hold toilet paper 2. as a garbage can. Just an idea to replace not having a toilet paper holder in your new bathroom.
That pic was gorgeous. Now there is a néw tenique that I’ve been seeing . They wipe antique paint or really any kind across the painting for it too look more old like . Also I scored on some longerberger baskets for $1 . I can’t wait to style them . Thanks for the great haul 👍🏼❤️ oh yeah try the oven cleaner method and take that green off if you change your mind 👍🏼
Absolutely love all of your finds! I don't think of thrifting as being a bad thing. I mean, if a person is spending too much money and bringing way too much junk and clutter into the house, that's a problem. Otherwise, for me, going to a thrift store, but especially an antique store, is a very pleasurable experience. I find it so calming. Anyway, the platters with lines near the edge are restaurant ware and that mug with a brush was a men's shaving cup. Yes, that was yellow ware. I loved the painting that you nixed, for the exact reason that you didn't buy it....red is my favorite color (mostly, burgundy). Lavish master suites weren't really a thing until the 1980's. However, I have been in plenty of houses here in Jacksonville, Florida, built in the 1960's, that had tiny master baths with just a sink, toilet, and shower stall. Love that shelf just like it is! And what fantastic finds were the rug and sled! Thanks for sharing! Blessings! ❤
@@KristenHoffman - I am almost 65 (😯?!), have loved "old" things with a history since my twenties, have owned 3 historic homes furnished with antiques, near-antiques, and thrifted pieces, and am happy to impart any knowledge that I have accumulated. 😊❤
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Jesus is God. God has DNA that we can’t ever qualify. Therefore, we have no idea what “color” skin Jesus had since he wasn’t conceived the usual way by two people of Jewish descent or any other. He is the Son of God, part of the Holy Trinity and I would say His Divinity transcends any label of color or ethnicity that we as humans would put upon Him. This is my opinion only, and everyone can have their own. However, since race is such a hot-button issue in this country right now, I don’t like that Christians are focusing on what shade of skin Jesus had. Stand strong Christians.....don’t be silent, don’t be complacent, we are in end times and Jesus is coming soon! 🙏🏻💙
Historic old homes definitely are quirky. Lol Our home was built in 1900, but I love it, even with it's quirkyness! Lol I wonder about those who lived here before me. TFS❤
Well that would make sense why the bathrooms in my house are weird.. my house was built in 1901! They definitely feel like an afterthought.. the only full bath is definitely an addition on the back if the house and I doubt it was done until early 2000s, it doesn't feel like it's to code at all. I still love all these bizarre challenges and charm. Thank you for your videos! You are definitely inspiring me :)
