Style Showcase 32 | Thrifting And Home Decor Inspiration

When it comes to designing our homes, just as in other aspects of life…we all have budgets to work with. Some large beyond belief (hello House Of Versailles), some mid-range, some small and some teeny tiny. I’m a huge believer in working within the budget and not taking on extraneous debt for things that can border on frivolous. That being said I do love to shop and when I’m not really looking for anything in particular for my home it’s often shopping the thrifts for me. I find that I’ll usually come away with something, even if I don’t really NEED it. Why not…if it’s only a few dollars I feel no guilt and no shame if it doesn’t work out!

You might be surprised to learn how much of what I have comes from thrift shopping, like the old Limoges china set above. I just found the table below ($5 people!) a couple of weeks ago. It doesn’t have a top, but it has good bones and great old paint. I’m going to do something creative with it down the line.
