- In this video I share my list of 15 home decor essentials you should buy at the thrift store (instead of buying new): pillows, small decorative accessories, vases, afghans and throw blankets, wood furniture, dishes, lamps and lighting, chairs, baskets, mirrors, benches and stools, frames and wall art, books, collections, and one of a kind items. I will show you some of my best thrift store finds and how I use them in my home. I’ll also show you some unique and valuable items I have thrifted and the most expensive item I have ever purchased at a thrift store.

Great finds! I think the best thing about thrifting is that when you find something that you really love you get the item and the memory of finding it and the joy of knowing that it's perfect for your house and that it is a steal and you are not likely to see the same exact thing in your friend's house.
You are so right, Carla! You remember finding it, and you remember exactly what you paid! 😜
👌🏻
I bought a punch bowl by Lenox Holiday pattern after Christmas (perfect condition) half price. It was $5.00. On Replacements it was $500.00. There is nothing like that to find textiles. Fine American Art can help find art that is valuable.
There is nothing quite like the thrill of finding something wonderful at a thrift store. I'm glad you have so many wonderful finds. ❤️
Yes, so much more fun than finding things at retail stores! 🥰
Hi Colleen, how are you doing?
Those were fancy lamps you passed on- I hope if you go back they are waiting for you. Everything you do is beautiful-Our Lady of Decordom!
Thank you Sherry! I loved it when you said you love thrifting more than shopping at Walmart. I too find the thrift store so nostalgic. It’s a walk down memory lane. The older I get the more I enjoy surrounding myself with the things I love more than what’s the trend at the moment. My husband also enjoys thrifting, he is very supportive when I ask to stop anywhere we happen on one.
Hi Deborah, how are you doing?
Hi Sherry! Such a fun field trip! Over the past year, I have become an avid thrifter but this video helps to collate randomness into categories of usefulness. Clearly you have the "eye" for finding items that will uniquely come to life in your home! However, the thread in this video that resonates the most for me is that you buy things that you love and that also give voice to the personality and character within each vignette of your home. You have reminded us of this defining guideline for thrift shopping which may pull us back from the brink of "thrift hoarding." Thanks again for this inspiring guided tour!
Good morning, Nancy! What a lovely thing to say! 🥰 Hoarding can be a problem. It was really hard to pass up those Golden Wheat dishes, but I definitely don’t need more dishes!
Awesome video! I really liked how you showed the stuff at the store, and then how you style it (or something similar) at home ❤️
Great episode Sherry! Thank you for encouraging us to decorate our homes to reflect our unique style and love for the past 🏠💖🏠
Really interesting video! I have been a thrifter for about a year, and I am amazed at what I find. I can’t believe people are donating it. But then I remembered some of the items I’ve donated and realize that “One man’s junk ……” 😉 I share your love of birds, I can hardly pass one up. Thanks for sharing! ~ Linda
You're my kind of woman. I don't pay full price for anything anymore--thrift shops here I come!
💕💕💕💕💕Everyone in my house knows to be quiet and to leave me alone every Tuesday morning so I can have my cup of coffee and watch Sherry's channel! 💕💕💕💕I hear whispers- " Shhhhhhhh, Mom's watching Sherry!" 😂 💕💕💕💕 Loved this episode and you!! My Grandmother Louise started me thrifting when I was a little girl and I never stopped. I hardly ever buy new to decorate my house 💕💕💕💕
My grandmother had an Afghan with the granny squares and black trim just like the one you have. I keep looking for one like it. She always kept it on the back of her sofa. Great memories! 🥰
The most important theme here is that you have found your passion in life and nurture it. It’s obvious it truly makes you happy and content. You know how to position them to form a theme that creates beautiful decor, interest to the eye and historical significance. I’m sure many a lively conversation was made around these objects. And we’re the fortunate ones who are the recipients of your knowledge and talent. I love those beautiful ornate frames that are really hard to find in my thrift stores. It’s a hit or miss situation for sure. Looking forward to the next video!
My husband and I love going thrifting! We have helped decorate our youngest daughters home with some thrift store finds...spray paint is our friend! Lolol it's funny but true! The metal decor pieces are beautiful and inexpensive! I agree with the feelings of nostalgia when seeing items that are from our childhood, you don't get that at Wal-mart! Thanks for sharing your finds with us!
I’ve always said the same thing about spray paint!
What a fun video Sherry! I've gotten most of my home decor the last few years by thrifting. You can not only get fantastic bargains, but unusual things as well. And it so much fun! This was a great video.
May you and your family be blessed with countless blessings from the Lord. May your life be transformed magically into something beautiful.Have a blessed Easter Sherry
Sherry, that cat clock, the pillow with the blue birds and that AMAZING laundry basket on the wooden wheeled base were my favorites! This was such a fun video to see the prices and the items in your home. I always look forward to spending a relaxing few moments with your Tuesday morning videos. Thanks for all of your hard work and sharing!
Such a great video Sherry! Finding treasures we love is what makes our house a home. Your inspiration is always appreciated
You made me smile when you mentioned that it must be a sign of age because you never looked for dishes until you got older, that is exactly me! Now I can't resist a plate or cup made in Prussia!
For me...its anything Italian made :)
Oh I loved this! 95% of what I have is second hand and couldn’t be happier! People are surprised that stuff is second hand and I love getting things on the cheap.
Sherry- I use white dishes exclusively and have begun buying textured pieces as additions. I love the similar, mismatched dishwear!
I do the same thing with white dishes, and it makes it so much easier and fun to buy a couple of seasonal pieces to mix and match with for the holidays.
I agree that the quality is often much better at a thrift store than most modern day stores. I love finding wooden furniture or antique items for under $20. I think my favorite is the wooden cubby on the wall and the wooden school table.
What an amazing collection you have! I absolutely love that $50 cream colored cabinet with the glass doors!And I would love to find small vintage clocks but I never can seem to find any! I guess that’s part of the thrill of the hunt, I will keep looking. Great video Sherry :-)
You are lucky to find so many treasures. Here in England I have filled my very small home with thrifted finds and love its originality. I just love old things.
I imagine that you can find many old and beautiful things in England!
I couldn't agree more! Your finds are amazing and your house is decorated beautifully!
I have a black multi colored one that is at least 80 years old. My Grandma made it for her first son. Must’ve been the style. Great finds.
Hi Sherry, another great episode. I see more and more people thrifting these days. Sometimes it’s slim pickings. I’ve gotten some really good things for next to nothing. I’ve always done this and I am 72 years old. I’ve been restoring furniture and repurposing things all my life. It’s such a throw away world and there are some beautiful things to be had out there if you just have a creative eye like yours. This is a very good informative video. Thanks again Sherry. Have a great day
Jackie, you are so right! There are definitely more people shopping thrift stores these days. When I started 40 years ago, the only people I saw there were poor folks like me!
I love all of your thifted finds. I too love to go on hunt's at thift store. Thank you for sharing. Have a beautiful and blessed week.🌼🌸💖
Your home is like a thrifters museum Sherry! Great video.
Oh Sherry, I would definitely go back and get those lamps! I went to Goodwill last week and looked at a huge heavy cast iron light fixture. My cart was full with a piano bench and a pretty art piece so I left it. I could not get it off my mind. So Sunday afternoon I went back to GW. Low and behold, the fixture was still there. I put it into my cart immediately. For $14.99, I can’t wait to do something with it. I check out the frames and art section too in every thrift store I go to. Love the bird painting. I totally agree that it is the thrill of the hunt when thrifting.
I've always said that I was thankful for those who bought new so that I could buy used later on! Thanks for showing the beauty in thrifted finds.
Thank you, thoroughly enjoyed this video. You give such helpful ideas to us. Your home is beautifully decorated and doesn't look cluttered. Love the pictures on the plaid wall, plus the fox, all goes so well. Can't wait to see what you have for us next Tues. Have a good week :)
....I love that I have been a " Thrifter ' since I was in HIGH SCHOOL. 😉😊... it was like a fun adventure to go Thrift Store shopping and see what one could find. ... I was not aware, even during my 20's and 30's that in later years it would be so embraced by younger people. I taught Thrift shopping to my daughters and that was from an early age, lol. Loved this episode, Miss Sherry!
As soon as I saw the books behind you, I remembered why I love this channel so much 😍
A wonderful video Sherry! I, too, am a long-term thrift shopper. There is nothing like the thrill of finding a bargain piece. Have a great week.
Wow. Your collections are out of this world. I love thrifting. My husband chuckles every time I say I only paid $5 for this…. Item. I’m proud that I have nice vintage and antique pieces that were scored at a true bargain.
Loving an item and using it in your home, knowing it's unique is just priceless! I love thrifting. I also have found sweaters and clothing that I was determined to repurpose. Think pillow covers.

The cubby cabinet in the library is my absolute favorite, i refer to those as apothecary cabinets, i have my eyes on two at the local thrifts but they are way more then 40 dollars , one is from a old time hardware store that is circular and rotates but its price is 1800. It’s amazing , i droll over it every time i go in there. The drawers housed the nuts and bolts and are triangular. Ty for an awesome video
My cabinet once housed nuts and bolts. (Some of the labels still remain.) Each drawer originally had a knob pull. Many of them were broken, so I replaced them with the card catalogue pulls. I have never seen a circular one-I’m sure it is amazing!
Good morning, Sherry! Wonderful thifted scores & finds! As I have mentioned before, your home is impeccably decorated. It is definitely a feast for the eyes. I love your clock collection! I have one or more in every room of my home, also. The clock from the asylum...wow!!! The thrift stores are my first stop, as well. I found a turned wood floor lamp for a song. As always, thank you for sharing & inspiring. ❤😊
Good morning, Bobbie! I have shopped at thrift stores in multiple cities and states, and the some of the best ones are in the Chicago suburbs. I imagine you have found some amazing deals over the years!
While watching this video I’m browsing around my home and with the exception of the RH sofa I bought 25 years ago everything in the living room, kitchen, dining room and den are either thrifted, found or have been given to me. It’s good to know there are others out there like me.
That science table would be a stunning kitchen island!
I just love thrift store shopping. When my Mother was alive, that would be our favorite girls days out. I still love going out thrifting my siblings! I hope that one day, my children grow to enjoy it as well!
I love backyard sales, estate sales, thrift stores. Reuse, reinvent,recycle!
I enjoyed your video Sherry! I loved to see the special finds you got and how you researched them. Thrifting is an ongoing labor of love and I loved seeing what your favorite things to find in a thrift store. I have enjoyed thrifting for years and agree with you, that if you tire of something your don't have much investment in it. The hard part for me was moving and having to downsize again. But when you donate things to charities these things become someone else's treasures.
You are the best thrifter on UA-cam. I have furnished my home, cottage , farm and Florida holiday home entirely with thrifted items. I have saved a lot of money doing so. But I do have to say my favourite Is Habitat for Humanity in Delray Beach in Florida. I get so many wonderful ideas from watching your channel. Keep up the great work Regards
I really enjoyed seeing your clock collection. They are positioned just beautifully. Not too cluttered and very interesting to look at..
Thanks for another great video...
Oh how I wish our prices were so low. Ours has gone up 2 to 3 dollars more! I loved all the beautiful things you have done. SO inspiring: )
Hi Sherry, I always share your videos with my sister. I’ve been trying to convince her to shop thrift stores instead of those stores where everything looks the same and lacks interest, but to no avail. Maybe she’ll give it a try now. Thank you for sharing. Hugs, Julie 🥰
Once she finds one thing that she loves that only costs a few dollars, she will be hooked! 🥰
Thrift shops and consignment and antiques shops are such fun places to visit. You never know what treasure you might find.
Wow!! You have found some delightful pieces. I thrift quite often here in Australia and I'd say at least 50% of my home is second hand. I recently picked up a Meakin dinner set from the 30's for $10 and I am planning to display it in my buffet and hutch once I give it a cleanout. I really love your style.
Love how you decorate!
I’m going shopping tomorrow it’s half off senior day 🙌👏🥳
I grew up in a 'thrifting' sort of family and learned the skill of thrifting very young. Mom brought me along with her on her adventures starting when I was a tiny child, she was always on he hunt for thrifted treasures. My Dad also bought most things 2nd hand. Their home was full of very, very nice items. Just goes to show it doesn't matter where things come from, as long as they are appealing to oneself, and are of good quality.
Sherry, you make thrifting videos my favorites. I wish. Lived closer, I’d follow you thrifting and take your castoffs and rejects. Great video.
I love second hand shopping! So many items that remind me of my childhood as my parent's generation passes, and their children, or grandchildren often donate much to the thrift stores. Nostalgia!
However, my house is smallish and there just isn't room for much more stuff.
Thanks for the great ideas!
Sherry. I couldn't agree more. If you are lucky enough to have a GREAT thrift store with quality items you can do well. Sometimes you have to travel to find that kind of thrift store. Steaming pillows in your dryer is a great idea. Didn't know you could so that.
I completely agree Sherry. I have thrifted almost everything for our cabin we are building here in Tennessee. I love everything.
Loved this video. I like unique items & 2nd hand treasures like you. New is too expensive & not near as fun & interesting & never brings back wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing your wonderful finds.
I love your decorating style so much. Since I live in a very rural area, I don't often have many opportunities to get to a bigger town to go to thrift stores. But our small little town has one which helps the senior citizen center and many times they have some good jewels. I've picked up many items for 25cents. They are cheaper than goodwill or other bigger thrift stores in the bigger towns. Thank you for sharing your personal finds.
Sherry, you are such an inspiration. Your upcycled products are by far the most beautiful and imaginative of any DIY channel that I watch. Your thrifted finds are so whimsical, and your taste is so much like my own. I feel Blessed that you are in my life...so to speak. I happened upon your You Tube channel at a time in my life when I desperately need something to look forward to each day. Although I work two jobs, and am very busy, I needed something to give me a bit of joy during a very dark and trying time. Thrifting and upcycling have become my passion and my saving grace. Thank you for all that You do. To me, you are truly an Earth Angel!
God Bless!

Oh my goodness that black afghan brought back memories-my granny had one she made and it's actually the only thing I remember from her apartment. I loved it! I loved your bird picture gallery-just wow!!
The best thing about thrifting and vintage is that your home is unique to you, no one can copy it. Well...I'm not counting that we copy Sherry's ideas!! next weeks video sounds fun!
Dear Sherry, Every Tuesday I can't get to work fast enough to see what is in store for me from you. I truly enjoyed this week's production and ideas. Oh, if only I were your neighbor. Best wishes and have a wonderful spring season. Liz
You have a good eye for thrifted items! My home is now all thrifted, antique or family pieces with just a few exceptions! Beautiful clock from the asylum!
My home is all thrift store fines also,it’s so fun to do a little drive by ,that’s what I call it when stop at a thrift store.
I love so many different things and the only way to acquire items without going into debt is to thrift them. I’m now adding some of your items to my list when I go thrifting, I also love the way you create your grouping of items without making it look overdone. I would like a video on how you arrange your thrifted goodies.
“The thrill of the hunt!” 😂😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for letting us know what to look for when shopping in a Thrift store.
Thanks you are unique thrifter. You have some beautiful finds thanks again for sharing 👍
Love the red leather chair & slipper chair. I always gravitate to red so the red & white dish collection are a favorite. The Strawberry dishes are the perfect update.
The repurposed blue entertainment
center is lovely.
Always a fun treat to watch you! I had to chuckle when you still had the price tag on the back of an item! I do that to remind myself how SMART it is to thrift. As a single mum of 8 I am thankful thrifting is such a fun thing to do. AND, I love that I am teaching my kids the importance of being wise with our money!!! Thanks, Sherry! OH! And, the old pencil sharpener!!? That INSTANTLY took me back to 4th grade, wearing CLOGS, and getting in trouble for clomping over to the pencil sharpener in class to sharpen my pencil every 2 minutes!!! Haha!
I love the way you turn your collections into decor. When I try this, it looks like I need to clean house...
You have such a fantastic eye for using items others might find strange or undesirable and turning them into upscale design elements. I love your beautiful home and how you have it furnished and decorated. So inspirational!
I really enjoyed seeing all your treasures. Thanks for sharing.
Here's an 🍎 for the BEST teacher 😊💖 You are a fantastic speaker & teacher💖
Good morning Sherry! ☀️ I enjoyed seeing all your thrifted goodies. You’re a girl after my own heart as I have very few pieces in my home that weren’t thrifted, be it at goodwill, Salvation Army, or my all time favorite….yard sales! I think my best find was a full set of sterling silver silverware in the chest for $9.99!! It’s valued at over $2,000! You have found some amazing things over the years too, and those pictures from the 1600s, my goodness want a steal, but I think my favorite is your china….gorgeous! Have a blessed week my friend. ☺️
Melissa, I would love to find a set of sterling silverware! What a great find! I am definitely ready for the weather to warm up, so I can hit some garage sales!
@@CanterburyCottage I grabbed that silverware, checked out, and practically ran out of the store because I was afraid someone would realize it was a steal and stop me! 😂😂😂
You have a wonderful eye Sherry and you’ve given me some great ideas,thank you xx
I am SO hooked on your videos, Sherry! How wonderful it is to share the joy of thrifting with a community who also appreciates the "good ol' days" and the things that inspire cherished memories! I absolutely LOVE your home and am continually amazed each time you give us a tour! I couldn't begin to say which part or items I like best; it's all a perfect gathering of beloved and interesting treasures! Thank you for your fabulous videos, for inspiring us, informing us and challenging us to carry on the thrifting tradition! There! How many descriptive adjectives have I just used!!??!! :D
Oh, Sharon, you are so so sweet! 🥰 Thank you so much! I am so happy that I can share my home and some decorating ideas with you each week! I do think that I have the best community of anyone on UA-cam!
I admire your curated look so much. I have a very matchy matchy habit and I'm trying so hard to get over it. I find pieces I love and am forever saying...oh it doesn't match. Your home is exactly what I want to strive for if I can only get out of my head and just get what I love.
Excellant video Ms Sherry! Love the phrase that often thrift shopping evokes pleasant memories, and that it doesnt happen when you shopat Walmart! Amen sister!
*Good morning, Sherry❣️💕 All of the advice you shared in today's video is sound advice - and the SAME ADVICE my parents passed on to us, their children - so I know from personal experience that it works‼️💞😁 Very few things in my home are brand new - because I prefer antique and vintage items and the quality they bring to the table - as well as the TREMENDOUS SAVINGS. The truest statement you made is you'll be able to purchase furniture of far better quality than is being manufactured today for a FRACTION OF THE COST of BRAND NEW furniture. I also agree that you'll find unique things nobody else will have in their homes. 🏡 Very enjoyable video - thanks 😊 for validating what I have been taught for over 60 years❣️😉💜💕🍃*
GOOD MORNING LESLIE !!! Are you still interested in the Cobalt Blue Juicer ? I would LOVE to send it your way 💙. Pray all is well with you 🙏🙏
Good morning, Leslie! We are both lucky to have had parents who valued old things. I have trouble understanding why young people often prefer cheaply made throw away furniture that costs more than solid wood pieces they could find at the thrift store.
@@CanterburyCottage *We are so fortunate, indeed, Sherry...I have trouble understanding the concept of throw away home goods myself - ESPECIALLY furniture!*
@@jaynebrown693 *Good morning, Jayne❣️ YES‼️ I would L💙VE to have the cobalt blue juicer❣️😁 How are you, Jayne? I was worried 😟 about you...haven't seen your comments on channels we both follow for awhile and I was scared 😱 something happened to you or that you were sick...didn't see you on Jami and Zeb's channel and that really scared me!*
By all means go back for that pair of beautiful lamp. Thanks for giving the list of things to look at.
Beautiful finds !Love your Fox Hunt Collection!I have a Bdrm with Fox Hunting theme!🦊❤🦊
Hi Sherry, I've been following your posts since discovering them. They have provided me with "s-o-o-o-o-o" much information and pleasure. Your creative ideas are marvelous and "thankfully" shared. I don't want to miss a single posting. You are quite wonderful. Sincerely, Barbara in Alabama
Sherry, you find the most beautiful treasures. I am also a retired teacher and have a soft spot for that cabinet and that wooden child’s school or Sunday School chair. Your home is lovely. I enjoy your videos so much. 💕❤️💕
I’m so glad Tuesday is my day off every week, I love starting my day with your videos!!!!
Hi Sherry. I have a small house. Seeing all your beautiful thrift finds and how you have them styled makes me wish I had more room for decor.
You are really good at putting together vignettes. You have found some beautiful pieces.
I think thrifting for the special pieces in your home is fun but also makes your home original. Other people wont have an identical home like yours. My sister found me an antique trunk for 8.00. Its priceless to me. I love pieces with a story. Your big chunky wooden lamp was a great find!! I love it. You have so many treasures. I collect sheep and stools. I just love stools!!!.
Isn’t it funny that when you find a great deal, you always remember exactly what you paid?! Your trunk cost $8; I have a trunk that I use for a coffee table that cost me $5. I have definitely gotten five dollars worth of use from it!
Sorry about the 👎, it was an accident. I really enjoyed seeing your home decor.
I have always thrifted. My mom did and now my children do, too. We did our daughter's wedding thrifted! Patience and shopping out of season have always proved helpful.
My boys will occasionally go to thrift stores with me. They don’t care about home decor, but they do like to find unusual t-shirts!
You could turn a pigs ear into a silk purse !!! Thrift stores are comfort food for the soul 😁.
Good morning, Miss Sherry!
Fun video! I enjoyed learning how you use thrift store treasures to enhance your home. Your needlepoint pillow collection is delicious - I've just begun collecting them! Like you, I find unique thrifted lamps are perfect for tucking into any corner & adding that personal touch. Thanks for sharing!
Hello again, Miss Sherry!
Quick note: I sent you an email! Have a lovely day!
My heart breaks because of the things I donated but now it's the thrill of the hunt again. You are a wonderful inspiration. Thanks
Perhaps, you’ll find the same items that you donated one day!🥰
I do a lot of thrifting. I also like to check the office supply items-rulers, labels, pencil boxes, paper, paper clips or binder clips, gift wrap, gift tissue, crepe paper....sure stretches the dollar with school and home supplies. I bought a picture frame today for a $1 to replace the glass in a picture that was broken. Thanks for a great video.
I love seeing all your treasures. You have an eye for trifling. I so enjoy your remakes. Thanks for sharing.
I love thrifting! I have a friend who has the same passion for it as I do and we have a great time looking for treasures!
I love that bird art gallery wall!
Wow, your house is full to the brim w treasures!!
I really love that the people working at Goodwill have no idea about art, and, in my area, apparently, neither do the people who shop there. I have found some great pieces. I usually will only buy the "color of the week," since our stores are really expensive, so I will get great frames and art for $0.39.
I appreciate that you gave us a look inside of your beautiful home..great job Sherry!!!
