It’s already halfway through the summer (What?? How?!) and we’re kicking off another fine Thrift Score Thursday! Things have been absolutely bonkers over here the last few weeks, but in a good way – just a tidal wave of opportunities (can’t wait to share!) and new projects.
My Find:
The other day I was cleaning out a cabinet in the kitchen and found this old thrift score that I’m ashamed to say has rarely seen the light of day. I completely missed the chance to bring this adorable embossed berry plate out for the 4th of July – how perfect would that have been?
It’s stamped “MWW Market, Made in China” on the back, so I have a hunch it’s probably not vintage, but I’m not picky – I’m just in love with the embossed details!
I think I’m going to have to put together a little fruit + dip plate for our next get-together… First step: plan a get-together, so I have a reason to use it!
The Features:
Courtney (Instagram: chameleonathome) shared this fun and unexpected thrifted art pairing – a black and white windmill sketch and a needlepoint leopard. Naturally, I went absolutely crazy over the leopard!
She said she actually passed over the same leopard piece with a blue background before and regretted it. It must have been fate, because she stumbled across this one, in better condition, a month later! Let’s hope there’s one more of these out there in the universe, because I’d sure love to find one of my own!
I love the amazing retro print on this chair shared by avery_hungrycaterpillar! I need one just like it for the corner of my living room! The adorable kitty is the icing on the cake.
Nicole (Instagram: design_it_vintage) worked some serious magic on this vintage credenza! You’ve got to see the before – I’m so impressed by her vision for this piece!
I’ve been green with jealously lately over all Shavonda’s incredible vintage finds (Instagram: sgardnerstyle). My latest favorite is this gorgeous chinoiserie chandelier she found for just $40! I wouldn’t have anywhere to put it, but goodness gracious, do I need one of these in my life!
