Thrift Score Thursday 37

October 16, 2014 by Brynne 17 Comments

Hello you guys! Welcome to another fantastic week of #thriftscorethursday!

Before we jump into the thrifted goodies, I want to share that I’m over on Remodelaholic again today, posting about an easy, colorful update to my white and gold leaf credenza that I recently moved into my dining room. I hope that when you’re finished reading here, you’ll hop over there to check out my DIY Marbled Credenza Makeover! Bonus: it makes an appearance alongside today’s thrift score as well!

Back to #thriftscorethursday!

Our guest host this week is my sweet friend Corinna from For My Love Of. I think I first found her blog through Thrift Score Thursday (I featured her gorgeous midcentury china cabinet score way back in week 5!), and I love her boho thrifted, vintage style! She’s been finding some amazing things on Craigslist recently (check her Instagram) and just shared a tutorial for making the most adorable mini wallhanging ornaments that I can’t wait to use on my Christmas tree.

The Features:

I don’t normally pick a Thrift Score Thursday theme, but this week is all about the chairs! I guess I just have chairs on the mind as I’m currently searching for the perfect midcentury modern pair for my living room makeover. I would be thrilled to find a pair of any of these!

I love these curved midcentury chairs shared by Instagrammer AllQdUp! She was lucky enough to grab a set of four and I think they will just be stunning all cleaned up!

I just recently followed Casacavaliere on Instagram and our decorating tastes are totally on the same wavelength! Leopard, brass, malachite… She found a pair of leopard Milo Baughman chairs at the Salvation Army for just $30 each! So good it hurts!

Sabrina from Retro Future Furniture (Instagram: futuristichuman) is at it again with her amazing vintage finds! I’m so in love with this perfect sunny yellow midcentury arm chair! I’ll take two please!

My Find:

I spotted this mirror at a thrift store recently and made a beeline for it right away.

Earlier this summer, I would have walked right by and not given it a second glance. But in doing some research on a midcentury dresser for Brynne’s List, I ran across the Bassett Mayan collection – a beautiful series featuring Aztec-inspired carvings. So I recognized the design on the mirror instantly and happily scooped it up.

That week, I was shooting pictures for my Remodelaholic post and the mirror was exactly what I needed above the credenza. I’m not sure whether it will stay in the dining room permanently or make an appearance in my living room makeover… We’ll see!

      Thanks Trisha! It's a fun addition – I don't think I really have anything else with a similar vibe in the house, so I'm loving it!

    I just checked out your Remodelholic post and I am in LOVE with your credenza. I NEVER would have thought it was paper! Even though they're in seperate rooms it ties in with the agates! You've got me thinking totally different about paper now! In this house with two little boys I think I'd probably have to spray it with a protective coat so that I wouldn't have torn paper! Way to think outside the box!

      Oh – thank you so much Jess! I've been researching ways to topcoat the paper as well – thinking how gorgeous it would be all SHINY! But seriously – browse Paper Source – you will get a million inspirations!
