Happy #ThriftScoreThursday guys, If you have been here before you know the drill…
If not, let me explain just what #ThriftScoreThursday is. We want you to participate! Hit up your local thrift stores, craigslist, yard sales, estate sales, side of the road, anything! Thrifty doesn’t necessarily mean from a thrift store. We want to see your good deals, wacky finds and treasures and how you style them in your home.
Don’t feel like you need to save those finds for Thursdays! Yes, features are shared on our blogs once a month and Instagram weekly on Thursdays, but we’re all checking in on (and using!) the hashtag all week long. So, when you see/find it, feel free to share it! And we love it when you tag your friends to play along, too!
The first Thursday of each month, Brynne from The Gathered Home, Cassie from Cassie Bustamante and I will pick our favorite thrift scores to feature. So please note that by linking up with #ThriftScoreThursday, you are giving us permission to share your finds via social media or on our blogs.
This week I have been packing so there hasn’t been a whole lot of thrifting going on but I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on all the items I have collected over the years. Through all our moves and travels I’ve picked up quite a bit along the way most of which is second-hand. When I go through my house it is easier to point out what I have NOT purchased second-hand than what I have. I love this for so many reasons. I love that each piece reminds me of a time and place, kind of a memory of where I’ve been. I also love that you can get such amazing quality out of vintage furniture that we already know will stand the test of time and even better you get it at a bargain price. But what I love most about a collected or a s Brynne would say “gathered home” is the fact that it is one of a kind. A hundred people can go buy the exact same room from a retail store but my collected home is always going to all my own. Today in honor of the “gathered home” I decided to share some of my favorite collected homes from our #ThriftScoreThursday feed. Amazing spaces that are truly one of a kind, no comment necessary .
Now don’t forget to check out what my co-hosts have been up to this month…
These spaces are just amazing – I could have easily picked every single one too! I LOVE your collected home, Maggie – and can’t wait to set up a Your Gathered Home tour of the new place one day 😀
