    Thrifting is a amazing way to find beautiful things for your home. You have to have an open mind. I do not ever go looking for a certain item. I look for items that match my personal style. I have decorated my entire house this way.

    So glad you did this video! I am a huge proponent of reusing and recycling and what better way then thrifting and giving an item a new life with you! I prefer items that are unique and have a story or history of their own rather than big box store items that are so blah. Plus you are really doing the planet a favour by helping to reduce waste! It’s a win, win, win! I ❤️ thrifting!

    I regularly look for pet supplies at the thrift store. Correl plates are almost unbreakable for my cats if they knock them off their food station. Used spoons for wet cat food. Down comforters to keep my dogs warm at night. A while ago I found a king sized down comforter that covers both of them-$8. I recently bought a brand new children's Patagonia down vest that is perfectly sized for my cats bed--$9.00.
    I have bought men's wool sweaters for my cats' beds as well. Stainless steel bowls are a
    great find for water bowls for pets. Go Kristen-love your positive energy!

And we are constantly throughout the day putting more Items out. Still my main suggestion if your looking for bigger furniture items come right when we open.

    • @Widdekuu91
      @Widdekuu91 ปีที่แล้ว

      Glasspaint works best on glass, some stuff is glazed (usually shiny statues, the ones that are supersmooth) and glazed items are very difficult to paint with acrylic paint, it is easily 'scratched off.'
      White (latex) wallpaint and acrylic paint are what I used for most items, especially wood or terracotta-like materials. Usually it says on the back of the paint what can be painted with it.
      It is always advisable (if the product can handle that) to use some rubbing alcohol to clean any grease or dirt off the surface.
      Make sure to try on a tiny spot in the corner before you rub on the entire thing, just in case it takes paint, gloss or other effects off your statue/item.

    I was just in VV today! I picked up two great frames, which are perfect as is, or I can easily spray paint them. I need to go back first thing in the day and spend quality time, looking at things a lot more.

    Value village is my fave and if you’re over 55 they have a huge discount one day a week. Furnished my vacay condo from items there. It’s very boho. I love it and your channel!!

      If you regularly thrift, bring the following. Measuring tape, small flashlight, AA and AAA batteries, a 40 - 60 watt lightbulb. Ask to plug in lamps etc. A small magnifying glass is good too. When you are trying to picture if something will work, remember, spray paint is a savvy woman’s duct tape😉😷🇨🇦

      @@lesleybroker131 inspect it closely, remove all cushions, examine the seams. If you can have a place to leave it outside for several days in the cold, do it. Vacuum thoroughly , every nook and cranny. If you can shampoo it with a hand held shampoo or like a Little Green Machine or the attachment on a carpet cleaning machine.

    Hey Kristen! Love your videos! I have a possible video idea. You mentioned it briefly in the video about reupholstering the couch! If you know how to do that I would LOVE to see it! I got a chair I need to reupholster! Also this video gave me SO MANY ideas!! I need to go to a thrift store ASAP! 🚗💨
