Thrift Store Haul
In any case, the thrift store is always the best place to find "different" items.
I typically don't have the patience to sift through racks and shelves of... stuff. But something has come over me and I will accept nothing less than a good deal. Maybe it's the $300 budget I put myself on..
But anyways.
Here are my little treasures from two different thrift store trips:
That first one is just SCREAMING for candy in it.
This sucker cost $7... out-of-control!! But I have a cute idea for it!
This poor piggy may not make it out anywhere. I'm dissliking her more and more.
Frames for an empty picture frame collage project.
AH I just realized I don't have any circle frames... I guess that's what I get for being on the phone while picking them out.
THE END
Come back to see how I upcycle and decorate with these thrifty finds!

See if you can follow me here..
Grey walls

Big floral pillows
Chunky drapes for a door

Weird and different accessories
Feminine
Get lost in my vision? Yeah, me too!! Let me explain...
I love all types of design:
Modern/ Contemporary
Southern/ Country
Vintage
Gothic/Medieval
Simplistic
You name it... I can see the beauty in it. (Except maybe traditional. Oriental Rugs? Ick!)
So I figure, why stick to one style when they are all so great. I mean, there are no rules that state I can't put my vintage mason jar next to a silver abstract kissing statue, right? RIGHT!! So when asked what style I'm going for, I'll simply answer.. Eclectic. :)
