My Thrifted Home Tour- Origins of Your Style
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- Todays video was inspired by a walk in the graveyard. We tour my eclectic home full of thrifted and vintage decor. It's a mixture of the styles I love from French Country, William Morris, Victorian & Edwardian Splendour to English Country & Cottage Core. How and why my style is what it is today.
As I previously told you my home is 99% thrifted and represents many different eras.

Even as a child, I felt very old and misplaced in time and place. Almost every piece in my home whispers to me of that other era and I couldn't be happier. Happy coronation day!
Helene I do believe some of us have old souls. I have always had an infinity with Edwardian and Art Deco. It’s all so familiar ☺️
I love your home too. I am in California, but my ancestors were English from Kent. I watched Queen Elizabeth being crowned when I was 11. My great grandmother made us a formal "Tea" and we watch on TV... it was glorious. Little Elizabeth looked so young and fragile, but she was a marvelous Queen. Today I will watch King Charles being crowned... no formal "Tea" today, but I expect that it will be just as wondrous. I feel my roots in England very strongly., even though my ancestors sailed to the colonies in 1628.
How wonderful not many people can say they where witness to historic coronations Queen Elizabeth is a hard act to follow 👑🇬🇧🇺🇸
Same here.
You are a woman after my own heart! I absolutely agree that if you love something, you can make it work somewhere in your home. I live in the U.S., but my heritage is English, and my home is vintage English country style. Thank you for sharing your home with us on this special Coronation Day!
Hi Deb, so many of my viewers have English roots. I think we are drawn to each other like old friends ☺️❤️
What a beautiful home, layer upon layer. If we showcase what we love, our homes will be special and each one different from the other. Thank you!
Thanks for watching 😘
I don’t have but a very few antique’s but have always tried to give an old world feeling to my home. The response I usually get from visitors is that my home feels very warm and welcoming. I did what I could afford ( many second hand and garage sales and new things that have an old world look. It makes me happy and comforted ♥️
Warm and welcome (warm and fuzzy) sounds perfect to me 👍
A very enjoyable visit🥰🥰🥰thank you ❣️
Hi my sweet friend thank you so much for a wonderful wonderful video. I really enjoyed it. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. You did a great job putting it together and giving us so much information in this video. Hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie love the trip to the graveyard sounds funny but I mean it you’re right the old old cemeteries have so much information and knowledge we did a tour of a graveyard on our vacation last year and actually met someone that worked there and he told us all about the graveyard and the people that were there in the history of the town
I have a pic of my friend and I with the Brontë sisters graves. Some of the old graveyards are so Beautiful (you know what I mean)😉
Thank you Lindsey, you have a wonderful gift, creating a fabulous home, color, mixing eras, texture and layering, the combination that always works , but it takes time to perfect those skills. Every time you show those delicious yellow curtains I fall in love all over again, if you ever decide to change your look in your living room, or just switch it out, no problem, would be honored
to purchase those curtains ❤️❤️❤️.
I grew up with antiques, English hunting prints everywhere and French Toile curtains, red, blue, black and green. My home is filled with French pieces, lots of artwork and vignettes that make my Heart Happy.
Thank you for letting us into your sanctuary, I hope your Family realizes how fortunate they are to have the creative force you are, my Friend! ❤️🇬🇧❤️🇫🇷❤️
Thanks so much Candy you are very kind. It’s funny you mentioned my curtains I get so many comments about them the material was a very special find. 👍😉
So lovely as always. Your home tour and history lessons are wonderful!
🙏 ❤️
I love every thing you decorate. Your my favorite. I love every the style
Thank you Patricia 😍
As a child l always wanted to go back in time. My favorite novel was Little Women and at different times l identified with different sisters. Marmee was my mother too. I loved my real immigrant mom but she could not exist in my other world. I read that book so many times; totally and in separate parts. Your wonderful tour made me feel a sense of déja vu. Thank you so much.
Mine was pride and prejudice I was always Elizabeth, sometimes I was Jane Austin and then I could change the story as I went lol. Thanks so much for watching 👍
I love the girls wall with the cherubs. Ive made ceramics for years and the little yellow ones of the head and wings are some ive made many of. I would make one for new baby gifts, and have quite a few in different places in my home. It was a treat to see yours displayed as it brought a warm smile knowing we share the same enjoyment of these angels. Thank you for sharing your lovely memories with your beautiful home. Have a wonderful week and blessings from Alabama!
Cherubs are so beautiful I used to only associate them with Christmas, but they certainly do look good year round. ❤️ to Alabama
I spent the morning watching the coronation and then watched your blog. As always, so enjoyable. I too in my travels visit cemeteries. So much history there. Have a wonderful week!
👑🇬🇧I woke at 5 to watch the coronation 👍
This is a lovely home full of beautiful vintage pieces ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
So Lovely and Creative! My look is Heathen but my taste Lots of Old stuff!!
I just love you aesthetic of your home. Very beautiful.
I love watching other people's taste in decor you have a lovely home ❤
So beautiful!! Love your collection of crystal door knobs. And the green colour in your bathroom.
Thanks so much 👍
Thank you for your video! I’ve loved old since a very young child! ❤
We are old souls👍
See you soon. Thank you for sharing dear lady
I loved your home tour and the stories which came with it. I have always loved French Country, Victorian and Arts and Crafts, but have no idea where that came from. Unfortunately, I cannot decorate as I would like because my husband prefers a more minimal style of living. I usually have to put all of my smaller collectables in cupboards or secretaries. I have some victorian styled pieces of furniture which we enjoy mixed with a little more modern which I make work together. At some point, I will have to have a room which I decorate for myself. It will be heaven.
You go Harriet I’m lucky my hubby lets me have my way with the decor ☺️
Love your style!!
Thank you❤️
You have such a beautiful home ❤️🏡
What a lovely video, thank you so much for sharing your home tour.
My own home reflects my "story" in ways I am just beginning to understand at 73 years old. When I was born, my parents owned a Mom & Pop Grocery Store in San Francisco, decades later I have a space in my kitchen that reflects that. It includes vintage spice tins, coffee tins, jars, etc., etc. I have such fond memories of that time.
I am also very fortunate to have my grandmother's 1920's bedroom set and other vintage and antique pieces that have come to me which I treasure.
Oh Leslie the bedroom set comes from one of my favourite era’s but knowing it’s an cherished family piece makes it all the more special ❤️
@@lynseysrecycledbliss1111 I did a bit of research on the set as I found remnants of a paper label. It was made by the Continental Furniture Co. in North Carolina. I suspect my grandmother's set was one of their "Hotel Suite" offerings. It shows its age with the many moves but that is just part of its story. My current challenge is finding a replacement mattress, the bed is a "double" but has a curved footboard which makes the available space less. Mattresses are much bigger than they once were.
@@ScandinavianNana good luck the mattress sounds like the old French mattress I done even know where you would find one 👍❤️
@ScandinavianNana, just a thought... I have my great- grandmother's bedroom set. The bed is a double also but my mattress is a queen. We solved the problem by making an extension for the frame by about 8 inches then connected the footboard to that. It provides the needed space but you don't really notice the difference in length. I add a folded quilt or blanket to the foot of the bed and no one is any the wiser! I've even pointed it out to a few people and they still didn't know the difference. So, just a thought to share. Good luck and congratulations on being the next steward for your family treasure!!
I hope to be moving to another home and you have given me so much inspiration to decorate in my favourite english country cottage/vintage style. I have to create it on an extreme budget. You are showing us all that we dont have to sacrifice beauty and style because we are using thrifted items, in fact I learned that it is essential to get that lovely old world look and genuine "feel" for our home. Thank you so much - Love your home tours and sage advice. xx
Good luck! And how lovely to be decorating your new home with thrifted treasures. I know how excited I am for my move 👍😉🏡
🙋♀️Oh Lynsey, a garage sale! Do I have time to book a flight? When I was a child, I spent many hours with my mother perusing for antiques in England and France. You are accurate, you become your exposures and surroundings. My mother told me how scandalous it was to choose different silver patterns for forks, spoons, knives, etc. She said she loved many patterns and couldn't have only one. Thank you, Lynsey, for these lovely videos. I can only try to imagine the time and work it takes to produce each one. I do so enjoy watching!
The things we learn from our parents! And what we pass on to our kids my kids all have a knack for design. 👍
What a wonderful home tour! I loved listening to your story as you showed us all around! Fabulous video! Tfs! 😁
Thanks so much. 👍
Love bedroom I like French country. I like round curved furniture. Soft looking
I agree with you. Items handed from generation to generation can be treasures for your children, family and friends. Pictures from childhood aren’t as important to some as others. But display them so that people can enjoy them in your home. Let them learn from your history and be entertained. I enjoy you method of decor through thrifted items or otherwise, it is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much ☺️
Good morning Lynsey!! Really enjoyed your beautiful video. Love your home tour!!!! Your home ihas so much charm and beauty!! The work you have done on your home is amazing 👏 💕💗.
Thanks so much👍
@@lynseysrecycledbliss1111 xo💕💗
Beautiful home tour! I wish I could come to your yard sale 😢
Me too! 😆
I loved everything about this video! You have a beautifully curated home and I am glad you explained the differences between French Country and English Country with your pieces. I am wanting my home to have a more French Country home so I have been adding things here and there but I also love English Country but wasn't sure if I could mix them so thanks for showing you certainly can. I live in the U.S. and unfortunately very few can afford to live in one of the old homes with all the character, my home being building in 1992 but I am doing my best to making it more charming with thrifted pieces and French Country pieces. Love your channel and thank you!
Hey Charlotte I have been very luck with my houses they have been real fixer uppers and of course this house is rented. When we surround ourselves with the things we love it’s alway a beautiful home. ❤️
Beautiful!! I have an Irish background but my home is a mix of vintage.
My mom was Irish I have books about her family it’s so interesting she came from a very old Irish family. 🇮🇪
Thank you for having a channel! So interesting!!
Thanks so much ❤️
Wow love it all and the London newspaper! ❤ From Australia 🦘
Thanks Gina 👍❤️
I am also English decent from Norfolk area I do believe... been to England a couple times and I feel so much at home there ...when my daughter lived there she was so much at home also...I love all the same styles that you do...I just love everything you have done in your home it is beautiful ❤...love to come to your sale but it is a bit of a trip from Indiana....keep up the great videos...
I’ve lived in Canada over 30 years and was always pretty good visiting without to much homesickness……until my parents passed away and after our extended visit last year I really didn’t want to leave 😞
I have the same bow candle holder in my bedroom! 🎀🕯️
They are so pretty 😍
Me ,I’m a British expat living in Florida ,my taste is a bit of this and that too ,Old English living room ,French provincial dining room ,Vintage kitchen ,all done with salvage ,English style garden ,
It’s our environment I think, we have so much beautiful history to inspire us.👍
I love your home!! It is just wonderful. thank you for the tour. Your style is what I have loved since I can remember.
Kindred spirits 😉
You have such a gift for making a home. It's like going back in time. Loved watching your story. Thank you.
Thank you. It really is my bliss🥰
Loved the tour. A person's home tells so much about them. I especially enjoy curated keepsakes; inherited or purchased over time that have an interesting story. I also share your love of Staffordshire mantle dogs, but have had to settle for reproductions. TFS.
I picked up a pair from an antique shop in the Uk for the French house. 🇫🇷
Hi Lynsey, showed my sister in law your brick wall in your kitchen she fell in love with it. BRILLIANT tour of your fabulous home. Love that William Morris clock and im definitely going to re~upholster my mams small chair which you said i should. Happy Coronation Day from sunny Sunderland. Have a good weekend.
Thanks Tracey up at 5 o’clock to watch the coronation God Save the King 👑
Thank you so much for your charming video - you are so right; our histories truly inform our ways of creating our own homes. For me, your video was a gentle, warm, encouraging meditation on creating homes that tell our stories. Mine does this too. Wish I could invite you over for a cup of tea!💕
Julie I will bring the tea and scones 👍
@@lynseysrecycledbliss1111 how lovely that would be!
I love your home…. Garage sale? When? Awesome decor Lynsey 🥰🤗😎🤩💕💖👍❣️❤️
Thanks Diane, trying to clear out before we set if to France 🇫🇷
Favorite video so far! I laughed when you said the decoupaged desk was ugly and you wished you hadn’t done it! It was so cute before, just scrape all that off and maybe chalk paint it white or go crazy and try a paris green medium gloss spray paint. You’re videos are great when you include your reflections and personal journey and thoughts. Love the Coronation tribute vignette! Blessings Lynsey
Thanks Allie that desk is my project this week 😂
Haven’t quit finished the video but had to jump on and say how much I Love your home! Can not wait to see what you do in France! My dream home? EVERY wall slathered with William Morris wallpaper. Heaven! It would probably cost more to wallpaper than the home itself…but it’s a dream. 😊
I’m with you never enough WM I wish it would go on sale periodically 😌 it’s only just becoming more available in Canada 🇨🇦
Canterbury cottage on you tube did an episode using William morris wallpaper
@@gloriaelswood8762 I think I did see that episode. So pretty!
@@gloriaelswood8762 it’s something I have been using for years and I featured the library at my old home about a year and a half ago. It’s great to see people are finally using it more and more. ❤️
Love from Denise in Kentucky !!! I love vintage things too - I feel sorry for people who go to new furniture stores with boring things when vintage stores have glorious unique things!!! I love your cherub wall sconce with the Mary picture above it- can you tell me what the picture is called if I look for it online. I love the gold around it. My Son in Law is from Hull in England . We love the Beatles!!! May God richly bless you and thank you for sharing your sweet house!!! 😘🧚🏻♀️💕🌹😇❤️🧚🏻♀️
Thanks Jeff furniture that has a story to tell is the best furniture ☺️I thrifted the gold frame with Mary I don’t see beautiful pieces like that very often. It definitely looks European to me 👍
My sons godfather went to school with George Harrison. Lol that’s my Beatles connection 🤩lol
Don't beat your self up about that desk.Maybe show us how you corrected your choices that were made.We all have a tale to tell about something we wish we should have done different.Thank you
Thanks Barbara I’m going to have to try fix it lol 😂
I've just recently found your channel and I have a LOT of catching up to do, but I enjoyed your theory about our choices in decor and your theory and your home are fabulous. I have one question - how do you manage to keep it clean? I'm a fairly clean and organized person, but I feel like I'm fighting dust all of the time and I don't even come close to having as much decor out that you do. (I have 4 cats - 2 are very naughty sometimes) I'm not trying to be rude. Your home is magnificent but how do you keep up? You have many pieces that I would love to own, and I think that is one of the reasons I am so glad I found you, because I am enjoying all of your lovely things and I have many, many more videos to watch. You mentioned dark academia and I would say that our decor tends to lean in that direction. None of our pieces match and we live in an older house built in the 40's with coving and almost all the original woodwork and hardware. I love old things and I love old furniture. I look forward to seeing many more videos.
Firstly, welcome 🙏 I’m so glad you found me. Your home sounds lovely you cannot beat a house with character, I do like things and they definitely don’t always match but I don’t think they need to. If you surround yourself with items you love and that evoke memories or feelings of joy, does it matter if they fit a trend of if they match ? Nah! Lol as for cleaning I dust and vacuum a lot! Dudley is a shedding nightmare with ginger hairs all over my velvets but I love him so I clean and vacuum and dust! Thanks for commenting and I hope you enjoy catching up on all my videos ❤️
