The Features:
Tania from Run to Radiance (Instagram: runtoradiance) totally stole my heart with this wicker peacock chair! And – get this – the best part is that it was absofreakinglutely FREE! Can you believe that? Read her post here for more details!
Cassie from Primitive and Proper (Instagram: primitiveandproper) scored not one, not two, but THREE ginormous pieces of original abstract art at the thrift store. Doesn’t this one look amazing with her dark walls and teal dresser? Sigh. I dream of finding art like this!
My Find:
My thrift score this week is this fun little vintage barometer I found at Goodwill for $3.99. I don’t think it works any longer (sad face) but it makes a fun addition to my growing art wall in the office. (Read more about the “For justice, for puppies, for Christmas” canvas here). It has a little note saying that it was made in Western Germany, and I love the little window peeking into the “clockwork” (for lack of a better term) inside.
Well, now I want to hear from you! Did you thrift this week? What did you find?
Be sure to hurry over and check out the finds and features from Megan & Trisha too!
that peacock chair is awesome!
ooh thank you for sharing my art find!!! love that chair and your cute barometer!
You're so welcome Cassie! Your thrifting art luck is off the charts 🙂
Thanks so much for the feature Brynne! I still can't believe I got that chair for free either. I kept looking over my shoulder to make sure I wouldn't get arrested or something! 🙂 Love both Cassie's and your finds!
You're welcome Tania! Thanks for sharing your fabulous find with us! I would have been worried it was too good to be true too 🙂
Perfect barometer! I love it. I actually brought home a large, hideously ugly painting. (Who knows why.) I think I can transform it, but we'll see!
Thank you 🙂 I love thrifted art! I can't wait to see what you do with it!
Very cool barometer! I love the pieces everyone finds! Youre right about that art, its like it was made for the space against all that dramatic blue!
Thank you Corinna! Can't wait to see more pictures of that art in Cassie's home 🙂
I love all of the finds this week! Your barometer is a great find. I love the small piece with the other larger pieces around it. A free chair?! And that abstract art piece is gorgeous!
