You deserve your own show on HGTV! You are so talented!!!
She really does. Love her style.
That is a great idea
Agreed!
I think this is one of the most helpful videos I've ever watched. Thanks so much.
Blown away as always!! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!!
Glad you like them!
Thrifting is so much a matter of luck and serendipity, and no one should forget that you're a professional, so naturally you tend to be "luckier" than some of us. These are great tips! "This is why we thrift, ladies and gentlemen!"
Yes. Go often and have a good eye. I can catch the good stuff pretty quick now. And think outside of the box!!
Using that hamper lid as a pendant light - so smart!
I agree , you are very talented. You see simple things and transform them into beautiful decor. That is a special talent.
Hi Fia. A strand of beads sold to jewelry makers in bulk is called a hank. That is not meant to be a necklace, meant to be separated for jewelry, tassels, etc..
I like the taupe fabric for the headboard
Great video, Fia! You gave very good tips as well. I have to share this. Went to a Habitat Restore this past week. Was looking for items for one of my children. Was about to leave when I spotted a partial roll of gorgeous upholstery fabric. It was marked $15.00. But I got it at 30% off at $10.00. Came home and unrolled the fabric to measure the yardage. I have 16 full uncut yards and some scraps that I did not measure. So each yard cost me 62-1 /2 cents!! Since I can sew, I am now looking for something to upholster now. I always check fabrics and draperies to use for sewing projects. Have a great week! Looking forward to your bedroom makeover.
Great video! I've been thrifting for 50+ years and still learned from your pro tips.
The white garland beads appear to be a stone called Selenite. It's absolutely gorgeous and must have cost a fair bit when it was purchased new. Major score at $3! If they are Selenite, it's a fragile stone. It scratches easily, so it should be in a place where it won't get handled very often.
I like the white headboard for the room make over
White. It just looks fresh and clean.
For the headboard , i like the whiteish one
Thank you for mentioning the one-in-one-out rule, and that it's okay to leave empty handed! ❤ I love your videos!
I love white. For some reason I feel it looks more expensive 😊❤
I appreciate that you are taking into consideration the fact that people are not finding the same things you are in their local shops. It's not a video about finding the same items--it's to explore your own creativity and see what you can do with the items YOU find.
This video is super helpful and encouraging. I think the beads you found are a real stone, hence so heavy, possible moonstone based on its chatoyancy or maybe even white tigers eye.
I jump when I saw u posted a video!!!!!! I was the first like…that is how much i love ur channel……I find u sooooo talented …..hello from Montreal ,Canada
You're the best!
You are very talented 👏👏
Your husband and family are so lucky to have you 💓 💖 ❤️
Greetings from Jordan 🇯🇴 in the middle East
I found one panel of 108 inch white velvet curtan and did sew on two sides tussel and now I'm using for bed throw. Its beautiful !!! Can use also for a sofa cover or in future may sew two pillow covers ! Thank you for you tips Fia !
Thank you so much for taking the time to go through this! Thrifting & upcycling isn't for everyone! And different people look for different things! If your not running a business or reselling you shop for different things. If your shopping for your own home it's different. That was an expensive & borderline hoarding lesson I learned. 😂 Your tips and insights are spot on and applicable to all situations! THANK YOU AGAIN for sharing!
Amazingly talented sweet lady. You have the eye for decorating! ❤❤❤ your channel
Love this video! Thank you for the great advice, I have to admit that I often pick up an item because it's cheap but like you I can always donate the item back.
This video was the one that made me hit the subscribe button. I don’t get thrifting possibly because it feels overwhelming. This video is a great lesson on how to approach thrift shopping and flipping.
First off, your sense of style is over the top amazing! And your ability to DIY finds into beautiful decor items is so inspiring. I personally think California (or at least so cal) is devoid of good thrift stores with reasonable prices. Has anyone else in So Cal found good thrift stores?
This was one of your best videos ever. Thank you for sharing your tips and methods of how you go about your thrifting. This helped so much!
Honestly, one of your best videos I’ve seen to date.
I need your stash😂😂
Your idea’s always blow me away. Love the basket light!!
Thank you so much!!
I love the Selenite tumbled stones!
You are so talented Fia..❤
TFS sweet beautiful lady. ♡
Unlike other commenters, I prefer the brown for the headboard recover! It will show less dirt and if you paint the walls a lighter color, it will pop. As for those stone beads...they usually sell stone beads like that for jewelry making on a string. I think these were just bigger stone beads to use as a single focal bead on a necklace but it is cheaper to buy a string of beads if you are an avid jewelry maker. Kind of like buying in bulk. Great tips!
You have a gift! I love watching your videos. Great ideas!
Wow Sophia ! You are so creative! The way you used that leather jacket to upholster the bench is genius ! Would have never thought of that ! That’s why you are so creative & talented ! Thanks for sharing the useful tips !
Fia youre a decor genius. I also do many of those tricks. I'm a thrift store and design addict as well.
The proximity to high end stores definitely makes a difference in the quality of goods in the Goodwill stores. That is a great tip! Thanks for sharing your quality DIY and thrifting tips
I love the bowling ball orb idea!
Great makeovers. The word is withstand not withhold. 😊.
Hi Fia love your channel. I believe the bead garland you were wondering about are actually Greek Worry Beads, made of polished Selenite. I have a few smaller versions of the Greek Worry Beads which the men would carry in their pockets and use as needed to flip round the cording. Also Selenite is often used to clear negative energy. So its a win win for you and looks great too!
Love all of your thrifted finds. You’re so creative.
I’m always impressed with your DIY skills.
Something you've probly already thought of but in case this helps others : To still use the laundry hamper as one & as-is, m/l, but without the tying, untying etc. , one could try to find a plastic basket that fits the space inside well. With or without holes .. ? IDK if necessary for ventilation, pry depends on how wet items r & and for how long they are in there.
The large beaded garland looks like Selenite 😊
I want to shop your thrift stores. They have so much good stuff!
More of these tips would be great.
I walk my girls to school and I saw a box full of Travertine tiles FOR FREE outside of a reno one day and it hurt my heart to have to walk away from them because there was no way to carry them back on the almost 2 mile hike there and 2 miles back. I went back with my husband to pick them up later in his truck and someone, most likely kids, had broken the whole box. So incredibly frustrating.
Love your channel. All your ideas are so unique and affordable. You are so talented
Hey beautiful happy Sunday ❤ that’s so awesome with the tiles so beautiful. You find the most awesome things in your thrifting and your creations are so stunning. Wow you did such an amazing job at the lamp 🪔 everything is absolutely stunningly gorgeous 😊 have a wonderful week thank you for another inspiring video 🦋🌈💜💙💗💛
Thank you so much 🤗
@@FiaGarciaDIY you are very inspiring and be proud of you it open my artistic mind watching you amazing people 💗
For basket..if you just glued velcro on that liner and basket you wouldn’t have to do the ties every time. Just my idea. Great ideas all the time thanks❤
You darling, are AMAZING!!! 🥰
Genius.you have made me look outside the box.This video was a welcome change.Thank you❤
Love the white for the head board! TFS
Queen FIA !!!!
I like the darkest color for the headboard ( ❤ moody , especially for a bedroom)
Excellent tips! I do most of them ❤
I get a lot of inspiration from your videos. Thank you so much for the creative spark.
Great advice. Loved the video.
As always, excellent content and finds! Another tip: the eye sees contrast, so if something has an area that is chipped or scratched, you can often touch it up and make it disappear with a sharpee or a little white out, nail polish, or a crayon!
I always learn so much from your videos! This one is a keeper for sure.
Thank you for all the great suggestions.
Such great ideas! I'm definitely going into the thrift store with these think-outside-the-box ideas for now on.
I just love all your videos! You are so creative and you inspire me! 💕
To find 'good item's' at the thrift store, may mean travelling to a different neighborhood... where donated items may be of greater value and quality. Christmas: at my 'good' thrift store, they put out Christmas mid October...that is when I go.. Last year, I spent under $100 and decorated my kids' house for them all with thrift store finds... Last week, I found an Outdoor Bar for my back deck, which is covered...for $60!
If you find yourself in the greater Chicago area, Fia, the Crate & Barrel/CB2 outlet at their Naperville warehouse is well worth the visit. It had so many deeply discounted on trend pieces.
I absolutely love your videos! Thanks so much!!!
This video deserves mio of views 🎉 Very inspiring thank you!
Good tips and great finds! Love seeing what you do to refresh or makeover thrifted treasures.
Thank you for sharing your tricks and tips, very much appreciated 💕
I have been watching you for a while and I can't find things like you do or even close to it. I know thrifting is luck of the draw but now of days thrifting is a nightmare because the thrift stores are so packed with people Thrifting just to be a reseller and they're like vultures there's been numerous of times that my daughter and I have gone and they will snatch the stuff right out of your basket so for me, Thrifting is horrible, but I just love your channel and the ideas that you come up with
Such a fantastic video! Thanks for sharing all your tips!
I learn so much from you and get so many ideas! I wish I could use tools and do as much as you do though lol! You’re great at what you do I love it!!!!
Love this video! Great tips for thrift shopping. Thinking outside the box is a big part of thrifting.
Best video!! So helpful!! Thank you!
Great advise. Thank you for sharing 💜
This was very thorough. Loved all the footage and ideas. Your thrift stores are very large. It does make a difference on the size of the store as to the selection, but I have found some treasures at my smaller ones.
