    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!"

    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..

    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 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.

    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!

    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?

    @MsKatillac 18 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

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
