Thriftstore/consignment FINDS!

I have really fallen in love with Southern decorating and the whole Traditional style of decorating. Lots of different fabrics that all coordinate somehow. Lots of tall panels of drapes on every window. And cute white curvy ceramic things that look like they belong in a southern mansion. I have come to appreciate all the impressive looking southern homes here with thick white moldings everywhere, white beadboard and paneling and cute shuddered brick homes.
It has taken me 3 years to finally find my style and start a collection of all of these things. I feel like I have hit the jackpot lately with all the consignment shops and thriftstores! Here are a just a few of my finds.


Cute white curvy ceramic pot: 1.94
Brown serving tray 2.90
I have desperately been looking for lampshades. But they are like 4-5$ per shade and I was hoping to find a sale somewhere. And lucky for me. I found all 5 of them at goodwill.
A steal at 99 cents each!
(not to mention this chandelier we found at goodwill for 8$ brand new in the box never opened, it was gold but we spray painted it brush nickel)

And this little guy... well I've been ranting and raving about these every year at Christmas time in the Pottery barn catalog. They are like 40$ and they are so cute with big tall red candlesticks on them! I think it looks best with 2. One on each side of the fireplace mantle. But hey you can't be picky!
I found this for 4$ at goodwill.


Fell in love with this fabric at Joanns. Hopefully I'll get around to making some cute pillows or something out of it!









P.S.- Brody's Birthday pictures soon to come! Thanks to everyone who came and supported our little guy turning One. We know it was squishy! Thanks for all the nice gifts Brody has been in heaven with all his new toys!

Please come decorate my house. And I would like to shop at your goodwill too! Ours is super picked over, but that i think is because we live in a poor area right now. Can't wait to have my own house to paint and everything!
