I have bought pillows from thrift stores. Washed and dried inserts then made my own covers. The greatest gift before my mama passed was a China cabinet she had for over 50 years that she wanted to refinish. We went too work. Sanded, stained and varnished. We finished a month before she passed and I keep my fine china in now. Great memories that I will cherish forever ❤
Hope you and your family are safe from the hurricane. I would love to see Palm Beach and go thrifting with you. You not only share the best DIYs, you share tips on how to decorate our home on a budget, and etc. I'm so glad I found your channel 3+ years ago.
I love thrifting! I am so guilty of buying things that I don’t need, but love the look,and price. Please take us on a high end thrifting store. Have a blessed day!💜
I was looking for a dupe of a beautiful mcm dog crate I saw on Etsy for $2000! I found an old entertainment cabinet made of solid wood. With $30 of trim and lots of elbow grease I was able to give my corgi a beautiful crate that goes perfectly with my design aesthetic. Thank you Natalie for the inspo and encouraging women to get power-ful 💪🏽
Natalee , you truly inspire me you’ve taught me so much . This week I made a sofa table to get exactly what I wanted and you gave me the courage to start building about three years ago .so,thank you
You just had a therapy session and now we have an idea that WE are all guilty of those things. You are amazing and give so much inspiration while telling us your mistakes so that we can avoid them. Thank you!!!❤❤
Hi Natalee, great tips! I live in San Diego, California, and the Goodwill in LA Jolla (upscale neighborhood ) is not inexpensive. My advise is check or be familiar with the prices. Sometimes thrift stores ask for close to the original price of an item. I love watching your channel.
I remember when you made over your China hutch!😊❤ You got such a steel on it!😊 Thank you for sharing the tip on the Google lens app. That is great!❤ Estate sells are good, too! I would love to see you thrift in Palm Beach!😁 I was making a wood gift for a client of mine & made such a huge mistake! I started to cry, but I figured it out & it turned out beautifully! Thank GOD!❤ I like stuff to match!😁❤️ But my husband and I do like to add some antique furniture! I remember when you made that ladder into Christmas decor w/ your nativity scene. That was so beautiful! I can't wait to see how you dress it up for Fall!❤😊 As always, NataLee, thank you for sharing your tips & hacks on thrifting with us! Stay safe, healthy, and positive! God bless you and your family!🙏❤️🇺🇸😊
Love your videos, you speak my language. I'm 68 & have thrifted for most of my life. Most items in my house have been thrifted & or made over to my taste. Almost all my clothing are second hand treasures. It feels good in so many ways to transform something ugly into something beautiful. It feels good to keep many of these items out of the landfill. It is the thrill of the hunt to find something that you know is of high quality & you have not had to break the bank to purchase that item. It is easy & quite frankly boring to just go to a regular store & just plunk your money down to buy some item. You have shown, with a little imagination how you can have a beautiful home without breaking the bank. Great job!
Rewatching this episode talking about washing pillows. I do all the time. Another hack is washing baskets in your dishwasher it cleans them and tightened them back up.
I’ve watched your tube videos for a very long time. You are inspiring, and very creative and talented. I love to watch your enthusiasm and ideas. I wish I had an inch of your talent. Love you. Todays prices on decorating your home with high end ideas is very much needed and the inspiration establishes a mind set of increased self esteem. I am 70 years old and I wish I had 1/4 of your abilities when I was at one time able to do what you do, so keep doing what you do it helps to put forward our lives in the right direction.
I think it’s good to also keep in mind that sometimes “high end” doesn’t necessarily mean quality, although with furniture it certainly can mean that. I’m thinking about pottery barn and that stuff, while pretty and well branded, is just mass produced and the same as something you could pick up anywhere. I still think their stuff is beautiful but it’s good to be aware that a brand name doesn’t mean it’s super nice quality. I imagine those Goodwill boutiques charge a lot for those items even if they’re less than new. And we should hand over out hard earned money for good quality builds and construction and be careful not to get brand frenzy.
Hope your family made it through the hurricane alight. Yes, the thrill of the hunt is so much fun! I would enjoy watching you thrift around Palm Springs.
Love the cheetah print lamp I totally would put that in my house !! OMGOODNESS !!!! SUCH GREAT NEWS ABOUT YOUR HEALTH GOD HAS PLANS FOR YOU MY DEAR. SO HAPPY FOR YOU I can relate to that situation. Having had cancer three times. I too am blessed Thanks Karen from Florida 🌴💕
Natalee , I just love hearing all your ideas. And yes to a trip to Palm Beach. I think you will enjoy it and I would love to go along in your video to see what you see and find. Thank you and God bless. Just me Bea
I used live in North Palm Beach in the 70-80s and there are some great thrifts in that area down into WPB. More recently (2005-2012) I lived in Stuart and these were a few of my favorite shops: *Hospice of PB County Resale 863 Donald Ross Rd, Juno Beach; *Treasure Cast Hospice 2160 SE Ocean Blvd, Stuart; *Bloom Again Consignment 137 SW Monterey Rd, Stuart. I really miss living down there for many reasons (ocean, beach!) and great thrift shops is one of them! Now I’m in Missouri now and it’s definitely not the same! Thanks for all your great ideas and videos!
Thifting secret. Try estate sales and go opening day and go the last day because it is all half price that day. St Vincent de Paul has thrift stores everywhere, some have special sales of vintage items, or craft items/sewing machines, etc And in St Paul MN once a year in August at hdqtrs there is a HUGE sale.
Thank you for sharing these wonderful ideas. I appreciate them coming from someone as talented as yourself. I would love to see you thrift shop in an affluent town. That would be interesting and so much fun!! Take care and God bless you and yours.
I love your thrift flips and these tips. I need to explore my design style. I pair a traditional oriental rug with a industrial type coffee table. Not sure what that design style would be....lol
It's always a good idea to look for church based thrift shops in affluent areas to find high end items. Many are also affiliated with certain charities for women's shelters, community outreach, etc.
Love, love, love your tips!! You are such a doll!! I love your enthusiasm and joy in helping your audience feel powerful in being creative!! Your smile always makes me excited to watch each new video. Thanks for being you!!
I love thrift stores I usually get stuff I have no use for but then lord and behold time passes and the items that I had bought yrs ago came in handy I had a model USA navy jet and a navy resin sailors suit what to do i grabbed my cement and mortar and created a decorative cement paver added solar lights I just can't stay still at 63 . On another note glad you guys only got rain blessings to you and your family
Yes!!!! To Palm Beach area thrifting!!! You may be very lucky and find something spectacular for yourself!!! Thanks for all these tips ... you are so sensible and FUNNY!!! ❤😊
Hey Natalie 👋, this is an excellent video! I get conflicted when I'm shopping, so this was the perfect advice I needed. I went to Pinterest, and took the "What is your your design style quiz" it said my style is EUROPEAN ECLECTIC. Spot on true. I lived in Europe most of my youth. I do love the "simple but classy" Old wood European furniture. This will be so helpful. I too, can see the beauty in transforming pieces, give them a new look and a good home. Like picking up a stray helpless puppy or kitten. 😅 So thank you I really enjoyed your tips. Will help me a great deal!! ❤️ I know Miss Lisa will love that vase😊
During the big C, we had to make the decision to relocate. We still have not gotten a new house yet. I can't wait to diy and decorate so I hope we find the right one soon!!!!
Love thrifting. They're a creative person's toy store. I ONLY use Google lens if I'm thinking about selling an item, I myself couldn't care less the $ value or whether or not it's designer...if I like it I like it and that's all that matters. I also love that some people are icked out by thrift stores bc when thrift stores become as crowded as Walmarts we're in trouble😉
I love the thrift flips. I hear that around the Orlando area you can get some of the scene sets from Disney. My favorite is the Salvation Army in Tampa on Nebraska Ave. And next door is a store called CommunityThrift. Love them!!!
Good to know! I know that there is a antique mall in Lakeland that has a whole bunch of Disney stuff. And then I’ve been lucky to find Disney hotel furnishings a lot at the thrift stores in the Orlando area. Mainly at Hope thrift stores.
Natalie, yes! I am inspired. I love your channel. I have made your tub tray, your spindle towel holder, and other items. I am leaving on vacation tomorrow but now I want to run out to an affluent area thrift shop. Lol Thank you for letting us know that you have pieces that you have no space for. I came to that same conclusion a short while back so I always ask myself if I can fit it somewhere....I guess I could buy a bigger house.😅
I love to Thrift shop, but I also buy without really thinking about it, I'll think well I'll do something with that and never do lol. You've given me inspiration 😊
I only buy throw pillows from the thrift store. I love how they can easily change the look of a room. However, my Doberman loves to eat the same pillows. UGH! Sometimes, I’m forgetful and dont take the pillow off the couch and put it back in a basket. If the pillow is on the couch, its fair game to the dog. If it’s in the basket, its been kept. I wash the pillows in hot water and dry on high heat. I use Lysol laundry sanitizer.
Good tips 👍🏼 thank you😊I agree, thrifting is just good all the way around and I almost HAVE to go often 😅 lol Google lense is cook I just learned of that this year
Good morning, NataLee. Hope your family got through the hurricane safe and sound! Hubby and I were very fortunate and only had heavy rain and mild winds! I am all about repurposing many of my thrift finds. I am about an hour’s drive from two affluent areas and love to go to their thrift stores. I shop those often. Always worth the drive. Terrific hints as always. Love you give useful advice.❤ would love to see a video when you make the trek to Palm Springs. If l get stumped with a project, I lay it aside and inspiration usually comes to me when I least expect it. Great video!
Yes! Look in the areas that ppl donate what you like! Like garage sales in old neighbourhoods or estate sales for antiques! You def need to go to palm beach to show us the thrift stores!!! Mostly so you have an excuse to go lol
You are right on target about how thrifted pieces give your home a curated look. I know purists believe in sticking to one style, but I think your home should reflect your tastes, even at different times, and your memories and good experiences, as when traveling. I like the look of minimalism, but I can't be one because I like to change things out a lot. I love your inspirations. BTW, I've gone to the Goodwill Superstore in Bridgeport, CT, which has a mixture of poor and more affluent people. I've found some nice things there. I also keep my eyes open for things people put in front of their houses to get rid of and in the back of schools in the summer. I found a wide bookcase for my basement and a nearly new book storage unit (not a regular bookcase) for my home office. It didn't even need painting! And, of course, I go to tag sales in affluent neighborhoods. Many recycling centers have a "swap" shop. You leave something that's too good to dump and take something that appeals to you. I once took the bottom of a dismantled crib to use as a pegboard in my garage. I thought of taking the rails, but I couldn't figure out what to do with them. Someone else did! My husband laughs at me, but I've saved us a lot of money.
A thrift hack I did: I bought bud vases at a thrift store for 25 cents. Then I made a deal with a florist to buy carnations 3/$1. I gave a bud vase to every teacher ar my kids' K-12 school and brought in an armful of flowers every Monday morning. They didn't mind the interruption to refill their vases. (I also had a real estate agent donate toward the weekly purchase.)
Natalee, perfect timing for me when you posted this video. I'm new to thrifting and find it so frustrating and depressing when I go, I come home empty handed. Inspo and pricing are my issues. The part about knowing my design style woke me up. figuring that out would help with inspiration. When I see something in the thrift store, most times I have no idea of it's value vs buying it new. I'm definitely going to get the Google Lens app. Thanks for sharing your information and would LOVE to see more thrifting videos. BTW-I have been using power tools for years, but Natalee....you have a GINORMUS nailgun. Looking forward to the next video.
I’d love to see you go to Palm Springs thrifting, and to any other affluent areas. Unfortunately, we don’t seem to have any areas like that in the area of West Texas I live in. I love watching your channel. You really amaze me - you are so talented, and you have such terrific skills. Thanks for sharing with us.
Love your video’s Natalee! I’ve thrifted many, many years, in fact, when my daughter was little she hated thrifting & as a teenager refused to go with me…guess who loves to thrift, now!
Oh my! Natalee. This is a such a good post of advice. I have an eye like you for what can be do with lots of pieces and upcycle. Like you say, it’s time to do and affordability with the work involved. My husband dreads me going out thrifting🤓
Thank you so much for your wonderful channel, it has inspired me I now buy things paint them new handles etc and am saving up to make a bookcase into a sideboard 🤞🏻. I love watching you your amazing Love from Scotland 🏴
Some of the thrift stores have gone way up on prices like our Goodwill and some have gotten really bare here in Dallas, Texas. I still go quite often though and hit the half off tags. Just an idea. I do absolutely agree with going to the upscale areas like Highland Park or Uptown for me. 😊
As always Natalee you DELIVER great content❣️ I soooo forgot what your armoire looked like before. Soooo beautiful now. You should really be proud of yourself. 💫 Love your style, love your work. Happy, Happy Labor Day weekend❣️❣️ 🙋♀️🎉💖💫
⭐Do you have a thrifting secret you want to share? Enjoy this episode? Watch this next: th-cam.com/video/8akmX6vjznM/w-d-xo.html

Yes! Please give us a tour from a thrift store in an affluent neighborhood.

I go thrifting at least once a week. I don’t always purchase anything, I go so I don’t miss out on a great find. You’re one of my favorite TH-camr. ❤
Thank you!🥰

It's so true, affluent neighborhoods that have thrift store near by really do have nice things! 😊
Great tips NataLee!! I love thrift flips because I can get unique pieces, and the thrill of the hunt😂 Glad you are okay from hurricane 💕💕💕💕💕

I love when you sit down and give us advice and ideas on any high end thrift finds.
Yes! You and Lisa B need to make a day (or two) of shopping an affluent area!
I remember the hutch, it is gorgeous!
Thanks NataLee, you're the best. Always fun to go shopping with you so a big yes on west Palm Beach.
PB, yeah road trip!
Thifting secret. Try estate sales and go opening day and go the last day because it is all half price that day.
St Vincent de Paul has thrift stores everywhere, some have special sales of vintage items, or craft items/sewing machines, etc
And in St Paul MN once a year in August at hdqtrs there is a HUGE sale.
I’ve never really done an estate sale. It’s definitely on my to do list.
Thank you. Oh please take us shopping with you.
Thank you for sharing these wonderful ideas. I appreciate them coming from someone as talented as yourself.
I would love to see you thrift shop in an affluent town. That would be interesting and so much fun!!
Take care and God bless you and yours.
Thanks for this video. You gave really great tips/suggestions. And yes I would love to see you thrifting in a more affluent area.
I love your thrift flips and these tips. I need to explore my design style. I pair a traditional oriental rug with a industrial type coffee table. Not sure what that design style would be....lol
That hutch is beautiful!
I think I'm not alone when I say this, but everything you say makes so much sense; which is so rare now days!!❤❤😮😮😮😂😂😂
Thank you ☺️ 💕
It's always a good idea to look for church based thrift shops in affluent areas to find high end items. Many are also affiliated with certain charities for women's shelters, community outreach, etc.
Yes! Thrifting in Palm Beach etc please!!👍👍
Love, love, love your tips!! You are such a doll!! I love your enthusiasm and joy in helping your audience feel powerful in being creative!! Your smile always makes me excited to watch each new video. Thanks for being you!!
You're the best!🥰💕
Natalee, I absolutely love watching your videos. I would really like it if you would take me along to a Palm Beach thrifting episode.
Famous last words, “carried away in a thrift store”, that could be stamped on my forehead!
You and me both!😂💕
Yes I think thrifting in Palm Beach would be great! I'm sure you will find some unique treasures!
I love thrift stores I usually get stuff I have no use for but then lord and behold time passes and the items that I had bought yrs ago came in handy I had a model USA navy jet and a navy resin sailors suit what to do i grabbed my cement and mortar and created a decorative cement paver added solar lights I just can't stay still at 63 . On another note glad you guys only got rain blessings to you and your family
Yes!!!! To Palm Beach area thrifting!!! You may be very lucky and find something spectacular for yourself!!! Thanks for all these tips ... you are so sensible and FUNNY!!! ❤😊
Natalee, thank you for all these tips. Hope you and your family are well and safe.
That was so nice of you to get that ginger jar for Lisa!
Yes, for sure take us to an affluent area thrift store. I'm pretty sure the items there will be more upscale than what I find!!

YOU ARE SO RIGHT! I WISH I HAD REALIZED THAT EVEN PURCHASING THINGS. MEASURE MEASURE MEASURE 😢 I'VE LEARNED THE HARD WAY
I would love more of this kind of video.

How about a video on Upholstery? I love it when you are in your work shop/pool area!❣ I hope you did have to much cleanup after the storm.
Love your videos. I am so overwhelmed when going into a thrift store. Your video was very informative.
You have an absolutely fabulous uplighting energy and tremendous ideas ❤❤
A thrift hack I did: I bought bud vases at a thrift store for 25 cents. Then I made a deal with a florist to buy carnations 3/$1. I gave a bud vase to every teacher ar my kids' K-12 school and brought in an armful of flowers every Monday morning. They didn't mind the interruption to refill their vases.

Yes, thrift in Palm Beach please.
Natalee, perfect timing for me when you posted this video. I'm new to thrifting and find it so frustrating and depressing when I go, I come home empty handed. Inspo and pricing are my issues. The part about knowing my design style woke me up. figuring that out would help with inspiration. When I see something in the thrift store, most times I have no idea of it's value vs buying it new. I'm definitely going to get the Google Lens app. Thanks for sharing your information and would LOVE to see more thrifting videos. BTW-I have been using power tools for years, but Natalee....you have a GINORMUS nailgun. Looking forward to the next video.
I’d love to see you go to Palm Springs thrifting, and to any other affluent areas. Unfortunately, we don’t seem to have any areas like that in the area of West Texas I live in. I love watching your channel. You really amaze me - you are so talented, and you have such terrific skills. Thanks for sharing with us.
Yay! Rich area thrifting. I think it would be fun to see that. 😊 thanks for sharing all your tips 😀
This is a great video!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas!! I would live to see you thrift in palmsprings!!
Love your video’s Natalee! I’ve thrifted many, many years, in fact, when my daughter was little she hated thrifting & as a teenager refused to go with me…guess who loves to thrift, now!
Yes, Palm Beach!
Oh my! Natalee. This is a such a good post of advice. I have an eye like you for what can be do with lots of pieces and upcycle. Like you say, it’s time to do and affordability with the work involved. My husband dreads me going out thrifting🤓
Enjoyed your tips..I love thrifting and redoing items... keep sending more tips...
Natalee I just wanted to let you know you are looking fantastic! Keep up what you are doing, it’s working well for you! 🤗

Love from Scotland 🏴
Wonderful! Thank you so much!
Some of the thrift stores have gone way up on prices like our Goodwill and some have gotten really bare here in Dallas, Texas. I still go quite often though and hit the half off tags. Just an idea. I do absolutely agree with going to the upscale areas like Highland Park or Uptown for me. 😊
Yes to Palm Beach thrifting!
