I had noticed somewhat recently that I was getting bored with my thrifting routine. Scarves, baskets and brass thingies were and are all really awesome finds. But I guess I had started getting successful enough at it that it wasn’t feeling like the thrifting challenge I loved.
So I decided on going into my next thrifting adventures with a different mindset. The mindset being that I want to focus on the color scheme of my house in order to get me to branch out to some pieces I may not ordinarily gravitate towards. This has actually already paid off in a great stack of interesting books and a pretty vase.
I did also find a pretty scarf that I’m using as a table runner but I’m also using my dining table as a desk and…
Clearly I’m a genius. Haha. So let’s dive into my favorite thrift scores shared to the #thriftscorethursday feed.

Great stuff, right? And it’s not everyday you get to peek at a kitchen in the feed. I’m loving this whole shot.

Occasionally we are graced by a guest cohost and today it’s Karen from Copper Dot Interiors. Please be sure to give her some extra love for joining us today.
Can’t go wrong adding in a little color (okay and maybe a scarf or two.) I love that little vase and who doesn’t need a copy of Sybil, and in pink! Great finds.
Oooh yes – those colors rock! I’ve been known to pick up a book (or many) because the color is just too fun to pass up! 😀 That vase is adorable too!
that god bless our pad sign was epic. i had just featured her or i was going to pick that one! LOVE it!
I feel like I’ve been in a thrifting rut too- I love the idea of the mental shift to start looking at things a bit differently! Great finds!
