I hit the thrift store at least once a week and need to catch up sharing my finds (maybe include a fashion label too since a lot of my clothes seem to come from there lately too). Here are a few of the treasures I found with more to be posted in the near future.
I couldn’t pass up these chairs. They’re going in a guest bedroom once we start the makeover there but since that room is currently my craft room/office, they’re sitting in this space for now. I had to make it look nice in the meantime. (And I’m collecting plates to fill in and add color to the plate wall.)
chairs $25 each
The chairs will get a DIY makeover in the near future.
Lamp is also a thrift store score…
lamp $2.99
This tiny wall in the kitchen is the perfect spot for this mirror. Ggreat to catch a quick look before heading out the door…picture is taken at an angle so my reflection isn’t in there. I wasn’t dressed to share.
mirror 6.99
I love this Pennsylvania card from a box of US State cards. Looks so cute in my reclaimed frame.

Wow! Great chairs and they don't look so bad as they are but I'm sure you'll make them lots better. Love that lamp…that was a great find. And I would have scooped up the peacock statue too!
Just wanted you to know that I often pop in here Roeshel and dont' always say Hi. You do amazing work and I love all your finds! I grew up in PA so I really love that little card!
Hope you will have a wonderful 4th of July- xo Diana
Can't wait to see what you do with the chairs! Great finds!
Great finds, Roeshel! i can't wait to see what you do with those chairs.
LOVE the vignette with the chairs! Excellent find! I wish I had the guts/skills to tackle a project like that. I can't wait to see the 'after' shots.
I love the richness and texture of that reclaimed frame. And the peacock is adorable, too!
Love your finds! You got some killer deals! Love the wingback chairs! Can't wait to see you work your magic on them. Thanks for sharing.

stuff and nonsense
I gotta get some photos of my latest finds and post here! I LOVE the two chairs you got. Only thing that would make them better is if they were blue velvet! 🙂

Love that peacock!
I love those chairs..what a bargain! Why did you want to make them over? Showing wear or just don’t like the color? You know I’m sure there are a lot of great bargains out there if people can only see past some flaws, it’s hard though and I wished I was one of those talented and creative people that could make a “sow’s purse out of an ear.” Will you show us the new chair when you reupholster it?
Thanks, Betty. No fear – I love those chairs just the way they are. They ended up in my guest room: https://diyshowoff.com/2012/02/rescued-thrift-store-chairs.html
They show a little wear and tear but overall they’re in great condition and staying just the way they are.
