HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE! After finishing my friends apartment makeover, I wanted to share some of my thrifting tips with you and hop around to different thrift stores to show you where to find the best pieces!! I hope this gives you some ideas while thrifting for your home!♥🏡
Omg the candy dispenser is SUCH a cute/cool find!!! I love finding old turned wood things, or handcarved wood. Also frames, I paint and they're EXPENSIVE new, so finding cool ones second hand is always a good day!
Cannot tell you how much I wish I could take you thrifting with me (and keep as a friend afterwards!). I find thrift stores so overwhelming and either feel like I’m trying to imagine how to make everything beautiful/useful or see only junk. Hoping can hone my eye over time. For example that giant table you found - never would have imagined it as an island!
I appreciate seeing thrifted items through your eyes, especially the furniture. Too often I look at a massive piece and think, How ugly! But you see potential. I’m slowly starting to learn how to do that through these kinds of videos. So thank you!
21:26 thank you, Kristen! My favorite things were the games, books, where you suggest taking off the covers, the decanters, wine, glasses, and candle sticks! I have to start thrifting.
I love thrifting furniture and decor! There were several gorgeous pieces in this video. I especially loved the table with glass top and wood inserts that could be used as a kitchen island. Chef's kiss 🫶
I love spending the day with my husband thrifting! It feels like treasure hunting!! I definitely feel more joy from my finds, than I do from store bought, mass produced products.
I’ve been loving how real your content has been lately, always feels like I’m facetiming my friend & catching up ❤️ Your attention to detail and ability to make everything feel like magic is such a blessing to those around you 🦋 Thank you for shining your light in the world 🤍
You are blessed to have such a variety of stores in your area. I presume you have a storage unit where you can keep the treasures you find for future use? Also...how are you cleaning the haze from the decanter? Maybe a future video on freshening up your glass finds?? Enjoy!!
Probably a good coffee descaler product would also work well to remove hard water haze from glass. Even vinegar, although you'd have to be careful with crystal. :)
Thank you for this video. Please do more. I find that one of the best things about buying at thrift stores is that most likely, no one else will ever have the same things you do. Unlike buying from a retail store. Thrifting makes you unique in the coolest ways. 😁
Loved this video! I love the treasure hunt too. The key is to have a running list in your phone of items and go into a store “without anything in mind”. 😂
This is a fabulous video. 😀 I like looking at a mixture of items when going to second-hand goods shops. 😀 Decor and furniture pieces provide your home with further style and character. 😀
My wife and I are in the middle of some big remodel and decorating endeavors. We LOVE your videos, thanks for taking us thrift shopping and for sharing your creativity!
Loved, loved, loved this video………. I was so excited to see the different items from each location! It really pays off to be patient and enjoy the thrill of the hunt. I’ve found some wonderful purchases to bring home……ones that I wasn’t even looking for or knew I needed! 😊❤
That was so enjoyable! I found something that I loved in each and every store from the thrifts, to Habitat, the Antique place and the consignment store. The clothes were pretty cute as well.
I’ve been bingeing on your videos for weeks now cuz I am about to build my dream home! 😍 And because of you, I am eyeing the sage green color to go with my color preference for my house! More particularly for my kitchen! I just genuinely love your channel! I am learning a lot! 😍🥰🥰
Omg those picture frames and art are gorgeous. Also in antique stores if the price doesn’t say firm. TIP You can always negotiate. I always ask the store to call the vendor and ask if they will give me a deal and they always do.
I would highly recommend the hallway linen storage piece from the ReStore! It would be beautiful with either neatly styled linens or frosted glass! I got vicariously excited just thinking about the possibilities! I thrift all the time and love buying decor and furniture. 😊
My gosh, every outfit you put on is absolutely adorable on you but I wish I could have the body to go along with the clothes like you have:) love your video that you made. I am remodeling my farmhouse that we bought a year ago and this video makes me so excited to go out there and look for some really great antique pieces to fit the style!
Love your videos! Can you do a video on hallway benches/entryways that fit your design style? With some of your favs? 🙏🏼☺️ also love your thrifting and extreme makeover videos ❤️
My God a lot of nice things 😍😍 it's a pity we do not have this type of shop in Ireland as far as I know Your dresses are gorgeous as well Thanks for your ideas😘😘
That red short dress was so cute on you. At the thrift stores, I liked the small rustic console table fore behind a couch and and that small painting , they sure had some nice pieces.
I loved this video! As I look around my home, most of my decor has been found at thrift stores and auctions. It's a great way to create a unique space that exudes your personality. I love the collected-over-time look, and you can get that if you take your time and shop the thrift stores!
Just discovered your channel and it’s so inspiring! I have a large book collection and would love to see your take on an at home library that’s affordable. :)
You have so many places to choose from. I love thrifting. We don’t do it as much anymore. They don’t have too many nice thrift stores near me. I have passed a Habitat Re-store. And next time we go past and they are open we’re stopping. I don’t need anything. But I love to look. I do have a consignment store near me. Not that big. And I go there a lot. And I do buy a lot from there. I bought a little black stool shelf thing that has a drawer in it. I’m not sure where I’m going to put it. But I have a lot of black in my house. So it will go in here somewhere.
Love your channel Kristen! I’ve never been trifling before but I am definitely interested in it now. Could you please do a video on how you clean and sanitize items you thrift please.
WOW! I would LOVE to thrift/ shop in your area!!! You really have some fantastic places to shop!! I go to my local Habitat for Humanity store but it is NOTHING like yours!!! Great video!!!
Hi Kristen, Happy Sunday to you too! I love thrift, goodwill, Salvation Army, shops etc so much l enjoyed it so much fun to be They are a good place to buy other items without having to spend too much Most of peoples & I feel a thrill of excitement & happiness What’s more good idea all of them shops have usually been donated I loved it your new video I always enjoy watching how you decorated etc It’s so BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE THE BEST!!! ❤🌼👏🏻🤟🏻🤗👍🏻
Nice thrift finds! I wish our thrift store prices were as affordable as California. Even our Restore tends to up prices. But I'm always on the lookout for lovely 2nd hand items - usually dishware. Thanks for the tips! 🙂
HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE! After finishing my friends apartment makeover, I wanted to share some of my thrifting tips with you and hop around to different thrift stores to show you where to find the best pieces!! I hope this gives you some ideas while thrifting for your home!♥🏡
Watching it ❤
What a terrific tour of the thrift-antique shops near you. Really enjoyed watching all your finds and helping us expand our searches.
Any addrees?
More thrift stores videos, please! Love when you explain the items and how you can use them in your home.
I love using crystal decanters to hold mouthwash in the bathroom. So pretty.
Ooh! I like that idea!
I use them for bubble bath.
That's a great idea! Never even thought to do that!
I was thinking of putting something like that in that skinny decanter. Mouthwash is a good idea, especially cos it comes in colours haha
I had no idea we were from the same area. My jaw dropped when you went to the antique mall and I recognized it.
I think that vintage suitcases have their charm just thinking about the trips lived by their previous owners. Thanks for taking us shopping with you.
They would be great decor to fill up some space in a bedroom. Stack them and put something on the top
The bookends are a stellar pick! Could you show us how you style your various pieces in your home?
Omg the candy dispenser is SUCH a cute/cool find!!! I love finding old turned wood things, or handcarved wood. Also frames, I paint and they're EXPENSIVE new, so finding cool ones second hand is always a good day!
I love this program,keep it up.

I'd love if you showed us what you thrifted & how you'd style it at home.
21:26 thank you, Kristen! My favorite things were the games, books, where you suggest taking off the covers, the decanters, wine, glasses, and candle sticks! I have to start thrifting.
Eighty-five percent of my Home Decor is thrifted. It’s always a thrilling adventure to find a beautiful piece!

I love that you buy both thrift and new items! Ty again for another amazing shopping trip!
Always!!❤️❤️

Hi 👋🏻 Not Kristen 😬 I know denture cleaning tablets can remove water scum from vases so they would likely work for the decanter.
Probably a good coffee descaler product would also work well to remove hard water haze from glass. Even vinegar, although you'd have to be careful with crystal. :)
@@brendatomlinsonso can baby sterilising tablets.

Books are for reading not decor... I would think that but, such a great idea!! Hahaha I loveeee it!
Nice channel. Your husband is hysterical how he “acts” surprised at the “reveal” lol
Loved this video! I love the treasure hunt too. The key is to have a running list in your phone of items and go into a store “without anything in mind”. 😂
This is a fabulous video. 😀
I like looking at a mixture of items when going to second-hand goods shops. 😀
Decor and furniture pieces provide your home with further style and character. 😀
Would be fun to see how you style your finds in your home.
I save them for future projects so you will see them in upcoming videos! 👏🏼👏🏼
My wife and I are in the middle of some big remodel and decorating endeavors. We LOVE your videos, thanks for taking us thrift shopping and for sharing your creativity!
I would have loved to see you come home and decorate with your new items!
I save all my pieces for future projects! So stay tuned for styling :)
Dear Kristen, please show us how you'll use these things in your interior ❤❤❤❤
Please, do a video on how you will style all of these pieces!!!
Omg! I love those little grape blueberry shot glasses? at 16:01. So sad I’m on the other side of the continent!😫❤️
Unfortunately we dont have thrift stores in Greece. Some of the stuff you showed us are gorgeous!!!
Those candy dispensers were very cool. I wouldve snagged them too. I wouldn't have judged you if you snatched that wooden high chair. It was adorable
Decor for sure! I love Baroque and Rococo and Victorian pieces!!
Decanters are great for bubble bath in bathrooms. I have one by my bath. Lotions and potions!
Wow great idea!!😍
Nice video! I just wish you would show what you do with the items you get at the end!
Loved, loved, loved this video………. I was so excited to see the different items from each location! It really pays off to be patient and enjoy the thrill of the hunt. I’ve found some wonderful purchases to bring home……ones that I wasn’t even looking for or knew I needed! 😊❤
I have that backgammon game. Got it in the 70’s
That rug was stunning! I don't know where u are but your Thrift stores have way better things then our Thrift stores here
This is amazing! Maintain your home neat, clean, and healthy with an air purifier.
I love the dresser, baskets and the book ends! You'd restored my love of thrifting!
Omggg I love those gold framed paintings!
That was so enjoyable! I found something that I loved in each and every store from the thrifts, to Habitat, the Antique place and the consignment store. The clothes were pretty cute as well.
I totally forgot about removing the dust covers from books! What was I THINKING?! You always have such valuable advice! Thank you!

Aw that makes me so happy!!!
@@KristenMcGowan i adore you kristen! Thanks for your lovely content! 😍🥰🥰
Thanks for all of your great tips, your time & knowledge!💐
I love that teapot set with the top of the pot with a flower. So pretty and a good deal

Agree 💯 with all that you said! I’m excited to see the hallway linen storage piece in place and in use.
Coco better leave that baby alone and let him SANG! 😂 Dentist where? This is PURE TALENT, It's a rarity in 2023❤❤😂😂
So fun!! I went to goodwill this morning and had great luck!! It is a half a block from me!!
I spent 2 hours in goodwill today and also found some treasures. Unfortunately I also broke a WWII era German plate. So sad.
My gosh, every outfit you put on is absolutely adorable on you but I wish I could have the body to go along with the clothes like you have:) love your video that you made. I am remodeling my farmhouse that we bought a year ago and this video makes me so excited to go out there and look for some really great antique pieces to fit the style!
Great items you showed!!!
I will look into books closer now, and take the sleeve off
Wonderful. Longer in the Consignment Store and Antique Mall. I can listen to your calm explanations of everything all day long!
REALLY loved this video! I like to get ideas of how to use and style items for my home!
I always look for wine glasses, baskets and books for decorating. Recently I found a beautiful antique quilt in excellent condition for $16.
Yes. Thank you. Eventhough they are used things. There are capable of reusable things to be essential.
Alyour vedios interesting idea its a lot ❤❤❤ for Learning to do thanks for sharing .
I enjoy watching how you decorate. When you buy a rug at a thrift store do you clean it before using it? If so, how do you clean it?
It’s good to see what’s out there. I typically don’t see much that’s my style. However it’s good to see the contrast!
KRISTEN, YOU'RE THE BEST! LOVE YOUR CONTENT. Great editing, ideas, love your ideas....oh, your voice is so nice too!!!
That dollhouse!! ❤❤❤. Great video!
ReStore in Silverthorne Colorado is a must see!
Love your videos! Can you do a video on hallway benches/entryways that fit your design style? With some of your favs? 🙏🏼☺️ also love your thrifting and extreme makeover videos ❤️
Omg, I want to go thrifting with you😮 loved everything you picked. ❤❤❤
Good thrifting! I love this - I'm shooting a restoration video right now. A Mid-century bar cabinet. Stay tuned 🙂
Once again, your video doesn’t disappoint❤
Omg that dinning room table!!!!!!
love, love, love your thrifting videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love ALL YOUR VIDEOS though!
The copper pot was such a good find.
My God a lot of nice things 😍😍 it's a pity we do not have this type of shop in Ireland as far as I know
Your dresses are gorgeous as well
Thanks for your ideas😘😘
I loved this kind of video! Made my day. 😊
Love to see how you styled your finds! ❤
Week of the Monday and Tuesday
That yellow cover for the first book is so pretty. I love it
That red short dress was so cute on you. At the thrift stores, I liked the small rustic console table fore behind a couch and and that small painting , they sure had some nice pieces.
Thanks Kristen. You are the bomb!
The first thing I thought when you showed that large table was ISLAND! That is stunning ❤
Yes we’re on the same page!!👏🏼👏🏼
That wooden bowl that was right next to the bookends you picked up 😍
That Drexel sideboard!! Omg you have to go back and get that! It’s amazing
Awesome video! Would have been nice to see a haul and how you used them in your home...JS!🤔🤷
I loved this video! As I look around my home, most of my decor has been found at thrift stores and auctions. It's a great way to create a unique space that exudes your personality. I love the collected-over-time look, and you can get that if you take your time and shop the thrift stores!

Monday and Tuesday afternoon
You found unique items nice and pretty thank you for the video
Wow luv luv your thrift videos. More more of your thrift videos.
Would a crystal decanter work OK to store olive oil?
Love the antique mirror with the “squares” in it! It would look so special above your fireplace. Great find! You have such a great taste. 😊
I love your thrifting videos ❤
You have so many places to choose from. I love thrifting. We don’t do it as much anymore. They don’t have too many nice thrift stores near me. I have passed a Habitat Re-store.
