      Thank you sooo much for your inspiration!! I'm going thrifting today!! What a great idea. I love that your using those glasses for wine. Very sheik. 😀
      As far as the mirror..I love the squares in it...pottery barn has a similar look for I think about $300. But I'm not crazy about the top design. Maybe remove that?
      Also skip the glass bowl...keep going with your white serving pieces.
      I love watching you..your so cute 😍

    What a great video! This channel has been a lifesaver for me. I’m a recently divorced guy who got married right out of college. Soooo, I’m having to get my own place ready for the first time in my life. I’ve learned so much of the basics of decorating from your videos.

    The glassware you bought appears to be sherbet dishes you could use for pudding or ice-cream. Very pretty.

    Kirsten, your glasses look like trifle/dessert glasses-ask your mum, she will probably remember them from her childhood. They are very on trend this year in Australia. I just bought a dozen for my Christmas table.

    If looking for an armoire style piece, Facebook Marketplace is the way to go. In my area, they are almost always being given away for free. Most were TV cabinets.
    I took one of mine, added more shelves, and turned it into a small pantry since the kitchen in our downsized home did not have one.

    Hey there! Love to watch your videos and get thrifted decor ideas. Word of warning, be very careful with pottery/crystal and dishes at the thrift because of possible lead exposure! A lot of the vintage pieces contain lead and would not be food safe. Just always best to look it up or get a lead testing kit, so you know!

    At Habitat for Humanity Restore, we recently got a beautiful white wood headboard and a Crate and Barrel dresser for our guest room. They will provide you with the name of a delivery service and it all worked out perfectly. Got a small TV for $25 and an iron for $10 at Goodwill. Check out these types of stores and you will find all kinds of things. Tools too. Loved this type of video. Thank you!

    I think if you turn a bowl upside down in the middle of the Punchbowl it would be beautiful with some fresh fruit. If you don't use an internal goal you just need lots and lots of fruit! I love the idea of a clear fruit bowl. I started doing all my kitchen canisters and such in clear glass. Seem to look sleeker and goes with any decor

    I super enjoyed this episode!! I love the unique items you can use to decorate your home. The quality of antique furniture often cannot be equaled.

    Happy New Year 2023 Kristen. Great finds on the glassware's, vase, pasta maker and large white bowl for pasta or salad. Lots of pretty wooden Furnitures. I bought a 4 chair with Dining room table, and it also has a leaf to make it longer for $100.00 at Habitat for Humanity Restore in PA. I look online and new it was $2,000.00. It looks gorgeous in our Dining Room. I enjoyed your video. Blessings.🥰🌺

    Great tip on the books , grab the mirror, definitely looking for a habitat for humanity shop. I found a 1950's coffee table value $1,500.00 and a Romeo Tamanti coffee table value $40,000.00 for $75.00 each at Salvation army.

      @catlan6174 2 роки тому +1

      @@sbffsbrarbrr I agree to an extent, re imagining things is fine. However I think id be pretty embarrassed if I had invited people to a lovely dinner, to later find I served them wine from a bowl. The weight of the sherbet glass is different. That said to each their own, right? Happy New Year!

    I have loved thrifting for years… especially for glassware and crystal! My kids pointed out that the “new thing” in glassware seems to be glasses with different patterns on them so that guests don’t get mixed-up with which glass is theirs. My kids pointed out that I’ve always had beautiful crystal glasses that have never matched, because I bought them at the thrift store, but isn’t that the same concept? I loved this video because you have a passion for thrifting that I have…. “Any fool can pay full retail!” :) Please keep this content up!

    Hi. I just saw your vlog and loved it. What state are you located in? It appears your Habitat For Humanity is much larger than the ones near me in the Northeast and the furniture selection in the one you visited is awesome. I would not wait on the gold mirror. In my area a mirror like that would go for much more and have been gone by now. If you like it get it. Just saying! I own only period piece antique furniture and I love the unique designs. Each piece is insured separately. I hope I receive more of your vlogs on UA-cam. I did subscribe. Happy New Year!
