Well, at least in the world of thrifting. I HATE going to thrift stores for clothes. Nothing saps my patience quicker than sifting through rack after rack of the quasi-randomness that is a clothing thrift store. About 15 minutes of that and I suddenly become a whinny toddler on the verge of sitting down in the middle of store, legs too tired to stand, in a huff.
But, BUT! I have recently come to understand that I love thrifting for household stuff – furniture, decor, etc. I chalk this up to my Pintrest and interior design blog addictions. Through those two sources I’ve come to appreciate the wonders that flea markets and furniture thrift stores hold. And the best part? If an item has appeal in it’s lines and over-all look, a can of stray paint can make it new again!
Here are a couple of the lovely things I’ve picked up in the past couple of weekends:
Milk glass candle holders.
Black floral chair.
Mirrored tray (um, and please ignore the pile of laundry on the bed. Whoops!)
Amber glass vase.
Here’s the outcome:
My mother is an encyclopedia of useless information (sorry, ma, but it's true) - no one can beat her at Trivial Pursuit. As I age, I become more like dear old mom everyday. I routinely tell people about resources, recipes, tips, tricks, or websites I've heard about, tried, live by, etc. until one of my clients urged me to start a blog. So here it is! My perpetual ramblings. I hope you find them useful and amusing. If you don't, you can either keep it to yourself or leave me a well constructed critique.
