Decorating Your Patio with Thrift Store Finds!

[@designedtothenines]

What is the best find you have ever found at a thrift store? Enjoy this episode? You'll probably like this one too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4PXg4OPqKeKfJo

[@lolaottinger3038]

I found a golf club made of wood, I had a good friend that played golf so I just gave it to him, I think it was $1.99 but 50% off! If it was worth anything as an antique that would have been fine, but I doubt that he would ever part with it.

[@brookiebakerie]

We found a pair of Banana Republic trouser cut jeans for my daughter for $6 that looked brand new. I looked them up and they were $100+ new from the store. Three of my daughters wore those jeans before they were worn out. I definitely feel like I got my money's worth from that pair of jeans! 😃

[@Southeastgeorgiapeach]

My very best ever thrift store find was pre-Covid when I found a pair of Gorham Chantilly Duchess 3 light sterling silver candelabras several years ago. They were solid black with tarnish. I turned one over looking for the maker’s mark. I rubbed the center of the base with my thumb. That was when I saw the Gorham name and sterling on each of them. I paid a grand total of $6.00 for the pair. Came home and looked them up online. They were worth $1100.00 at the time. I polished them up and still have them and use them in my home. You can bet that I look at every piece of anything that remotely looks like silver now.

Just revisited your video and heard you say "google maps".

[@Olive_O_Sudden]

Twice I've found brand-new 'My Brest Friend' nursing pillows for $5 each.

[@kimaoyama9594]

I about died when I saw you grab the Stiffel lamps and talk about changing them. Then I kept watching and breathed a sigh of relief when you realized how much they were worth! Nice find!!!

[@beulahmcgraw5213]

Me too. I recognized them right away. I love Stiffel.

[@designedtothenines]

I was glad I caught that too. I would’ve died when people told me in the comments that I had just destroyed valuable lamps.😅

[@dianadunne-brown9356]

ABSOLUTELY agree with your decision to leave those lamps AS IS! my Mom had a few pairs of Stiffel lamps when I was growing up. Source it another lamp shade and sell them! Start a new crafting bank account or buy a new set of tires for your Escalade!😁

[@hildiborkowski4436]

I was so surprised when you found the stiffel lamps!! Believe it or not, I own two of them too! They were inherited. I love them!

[@marywiggins7411]

​​@designedtothenines yrs, actual brass. please source a shade.

[@DeborahGlancy]

Your enthusiasm is contagious! Loved all your DIYs!

[@cindylsmith3702]

Ohhhhh please do the three minute challenge again. It looks like so much fun. You ladies are very cute. I like your idea of the temporary wall for concealing the BBQ area on your patio.👍

[@lolaottinger3038]

I cannot believe how packed with “stuff” that thrift store is! I live near Dallas, Tx and I have never seen a thrift store so packed with quality looking items. I might have to head to Florida to thrift! 😂

[@mmeyerr7867]

There are consignment shops that are giving away estate furniture. Tampa Bay by the beach ❤

[@kelleyhawk6595]

They r packed with stuff because they are too expensive!

[@janhaley1212]

I live in Richardson and I agree. Our thrift stores are terrible here. I did go to Cleburne last month and found some good stuff at the antique stores there and Burleson. I won’t ever give my donations to Goodwill again. At one store they have you load up your donations in a semi truck to take somewhere else.

[@judys5767]

San Antonio thrift stores are full of outdated frames, misc. Dishes and mugs -- nothing like these DIY ladies find.

[@peggy-h2w]

Florida has awesome finds

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

I absolutely love everything you do. The lantern is my absolute favorite out of these thrift flips. I'm looking forward to seeing you makeover your dining room and patio area.

[@Caren-bo4uw]

Me too! The lantern turned out so well!

[@MamaT160]

Love the 3 minute challenges! Just watched Lisa take the mustard lamp base and the green velvet box to new heights. 😍The Stiffel lamps are beautiful. Shocking what gets donated sometimes. That blue lantern really got a fine glow up painted black with the designs you made for the glass panels! You're so talented and I enjoy watching your channel.

[@sherriwalker8019]

Love love love the lamp planter! Very high-end looking! That planter vase looks so good on your dining table! ❤❤ The Ballard lantern dupe is genius!!😮 Congratulations to your friend Leslie on winning the 3-minute challenge. Wish you would have found the Stiffle lamps sooner.😢 Those were a steal!! Take care beautiful lady and God bless you and yours! ❤❤

[@deaneclark6469]

Awesome find on those beautiful lamps! $1800? WOW!😮 I think you win this time!❤ I love what you did with your small table & your table vase! They both look amazing, as always!❤ And the lamp base as a fern holder is gorgeous!❤ You will do an amazing makeover on your patio!😊 Congratulations on being a speaker at the Haven conference! I'm happy for you. I wish I could be there & meet you, but it is the same time as my annual Girl's Beach Week!😊 Oh my goodness, NataLee, your lantern turned out beautifully! I love it!❤ I should have went with my gut! LOL I originally thought that Leslie was going to be the winner!😂 As always, NataLee, thank you for sharing your 3 minute challenge, (so much fun), all of your hard work, creativity,talent, and inspiration! Stay safe, healthy, and positive! God bless you and your family!🙏❤️🇺🇸😊

[@mello3214]

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you! You too!

[@peggyengland2341]

I love the lantern and the lamp/planter, but most of all I love the expensive lamps. They are beautiful. Just lovely.

[@donnamoore6989]

I loved the 3 minute challenge! I'd like to see more of those.

[@chrisprpich3278]

Loved all your flips. Really nice. I can’t believe those lamps were that expensive. I would sell them, lol. Great find. 😊🇨🇦

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you! 🤗

[@rusmiling9909]

Wowwee, what an incredible find! Those lamps are beautiful and very stately!

[@pennywarren2357]

What a creative idea to use vinyl on the lantern! Love it!

[@11212lala]

Always do the three minute challenge! So fun! That lantern turned out so good! Love the design. Looking forward to your back porch makeover too! Have a lovely weekend!

[@DjMenn]

Love how the planter and lantern turned about. Beautiful!

[@karentracey9948]

That was awesome! You made out like a bandit with the stiffle lamps! I'd love to see how you style them. Great fun watching this ❤

[@jodit1]

Love the 3 minute challenge. One of these days I'm headed over to check out those stores.

[@LisaBurningham]

I LOVE shopping with you! These videos are always my favorite. You did such an amazing job with all of your items. I'm so grateful you didn't pick some of those CRAZY items! Love you lady!

[@wendykovach8312]

I love that lantern dupe! Looks beautiful just changing the colour and using vinyl! What a find with the Stiffel lamps...good for you 🥰

[@beverlylones9552]

The lamp is absolutely gorgeous! The ferns in it is beautiful! Wow, the Pottery Barn dupe is beautiful! I love your dupe on the lantern, much better than there’s! Stunning! 🩵🩵🩵

[@judithtopping7988]

I love ❤️ how you transformed the lamp into a planter, such an amazing transformation! The solar light was a great touch ❤😊

[@designedtothenines]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@luvmygarden1]

The 2 lamps are beautiful and expensive . I have the hanging Lamp and love the style. The same color and they are very expensive even today. I inherited mine from my Mother in Law...40 years ago.

[@karentracey9948]

The stiffle lamps were an awesome find,great fun watching,look forward to seeing how you style the lamps,love the candle holder too. ❤

[@janhaley1212]

Natalee, I watched the video regarding your TikTok purchases. I ordered 4 of the tulips and 2 brass candle sticks. I put 2 bunches of tulips in a Fostoria Americana cylinder vase. Then put white candles in the holders. I placed them on an entryway table under a soft gold oval ornate mirror and with a soft gold lamp. It looks absolutely amazing. Even my husband was impressed. I ordered some battery operated candles for my lanterns. They didn’t have the package of 5 so they sent me a larger package of 9. Looks great, too. Thanks for sharing this with me.

[@designedtothenines]

I’m so glad you liked them!

[@tracewalker8772]

I’m going to try the trick of putting decals on the lantern glass! Fun video, love the challenge!! Happy Mother’s Day NataLee!💕💕💕💕

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you! You too!

[@barbkrieser8972]

Such fun!!! You always have an idea for the most unusual things and they turn out just excellent!!!! AND useful!! ❤😊

[@designedtothenines]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@paulineconley9076]

I love you being able to be with Lisa. I love watching you both.❤

[@judyhaney6083]

You never cease to amaze me. That lantern was tops

[@carlaluhn6806]

You're ALWAYS amazing & just blow my mind episode after episode but your dupes are phenomenal! I just love when you dupe & the finds you come up with...just wow! I live in a tiny rural community & even traveling an hour & a half to 2 hours away to a little bigger city, I never see very much to work with. Anyway, EXCELLENT job, another great video & my thanks for all you share Natalee 👏💖.

[@dorisbarker3273]

OMG!! I watched Lisa first and wished someone would get those lamps and now I’m watching you and you have them Good Girl luv watching the both of you!😁

[@lizjones4776]

Loved the 3 minute challenge...my best thrift store find were 3 small Waterford crystal candy bowls...$5 for all...I love them. I'm so glad you realized the stiffel brand lamps value and didn't alter them...they are classics.

[@Southeastgeorgiapeach]

So glad you Google Lens the lamps! What a buy at the thrift store for sure. Love the Cricut design on the lantern. Stunning and very budget friendly too. You girls make thrifting so much more fun! Great video!

[@designedtothenines]

Thanks so much!

[@GardenreetLighting]

I love how you've turned thrifting into a fun and competitive challenge! Watching you and your friends hunt for boujee outdoor decor is both entertaining and inspiring.

[@katyhy]

I need to get back to hitting the thrift stores again. I've gotten a few nice things in the past and I love vintage tea cups & saucers. Thanks for sharing your makeover of the lanterns towards the end. I have white ones from Ikea that I can spray paint black and adhere the vinyl decal - great dupe! I almost donated them to Goodwill and now I can breathe new life into them.

[@user-cj9ed2dg8k]

Love your 3 min. challenges! You gals are so much fun! ❤

[@erikas974]

NataLee that lantern is epic. Good eyes you've got. 🎉🎉🎉 Congrats. Now you just have to find the glass top for that expensive pair and sell it. Great find. 👌👍

[@janicesmith8946]

I like the silver bowl

[@robinwoods9961]

Loved all you thrift flips. The lanterns are beautiful and I love that lamp for a planter. I am going to make one of these to put on the screened-n-porch of course I will have fake greenery in it. Also, I wish you would do more of the 3-minute challenges. Thank you for all your inspiration.

[@designedtothenines]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@genevievemurray7743]

Your best score was the Luminara candle. They’re expensive but the best looking dupes of any faux candles.

[@vickinoeske1154]

Lisa's tea set is very special and beautiful. 💕

[@debbiegordon7622]

Love these challenges with you, Leslie and Lisa..You and Lisa are my favorites.. great makeover

[@roxiewallace2900]

Really enjoyed this video and can't wait to see what you do with your patio in the future! I liked your lantern better than the original. Also enjoy the 3 minute challenge. Your thrift store has so many cute things!!

[@brendaharbin6598]

So impressed with that lantern. Love ballards but gosh. So expensive

[@marcyfalconer1275]

Oh my gosh, I couldn't believe you were going to touch those lamps!! I have a stiffel lamp and they are very expensive. Thank you for the video.

[@TheDutchDutchess373]

Hi beautiful Ladies! 👋❤ Loved the dupes Natalee! Great finds! 🎉 Lots of love,and TFS! ♡

[@cindielbrecht557]

Love it! Awesome find on the lamps and lesson learned, google first, make over last!

[@teresahatfield4521]

You do such a great job thrifting and converting your thrifts to wonderful things. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@AnnEaton-xj6ic]

Natalee…I have no words!! Your thrift flips are amazing!! I like yours better than the originals!! You are such an inspiration!!🥰

[@debramcadams7840]

LOVE these 3 minute challenges!! Your duoes gave me several ideas,thanks. Now I'm heading over to see what Lisa's made.

[@designedtothenines]

So glad!

[@leticiarocha6121]

I love watching your thrift flip please continue bringing them.

[@tneumans]

You have the best thrift stores. I love the lantern but all of them are great.

[@theresapatrono4062]

Wow on the lamps. Nice thrift flips. Love how the lantern turned out. I like yours better because it has a handle. Have an awesome evening.

[@ElizabethGontkovic-uq4mw]

Homerun as usual..❤❤ Your dupes.. As far as the outdoor mulched area, I'd clear out the old material & replace with stone. And a Solar fountain planter maybe two.. The floating solar is a charm...

[@nettieblowers2338]

Lovely Ikea overview! The Northern VA location is one of mine as well. The College Park is our location when visiting family in the Baltimore area

[@kawestley1965]

That was amazing Challenge with what you all got and those lamps.That is an excellent find.

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you 🤗

[@dianewristen]

GOOD JOB ON THE LAMPS...FUN....YES, DO THE CHALLENGE. I LOVED THIS VIDEO

[@deborahb2lil2latemashburn]

NataLee on the back patio area between the grill and sofa I'm thinking a half wall with the upper having large 3/4"X12" louvers you could open or close for privacy.

[@ceciliacase3901]

lol glad you didn’t anything to the Stengel lamps. You always do such a great jobs with your DIYs

[@mariamercado3946]

I really enjoy the 3 minute challenge. Thank you for sharing.

[@kellyleavitt1676]

Happy Mother’s Day to you Jennifer!!! I’m so sorry your mother is no longer here with you. I can tell how much you love and miss her!!! My mother and I are very close as well, I can’t even imagine her not here with me!!😢 your videos make me so happy and I always get a good laugh! I think that great journal book you got Presley would be so cute with the bright colored popcucle sponge and the bright color makeup bag that says “beautiful” would all look so cute together as a gift. 😉

[@joocy69]

Bravo Natalee…First I just wanna say Your Smile is huge you look so happy, your videos always make me happy, and a wee bit jealous as our thrifting shops here in Scotland are nothing compared to the ones you have😂 I love watching you create and your dupes to me anyways are better than the originals. Thank you for giving me inspiration and belief that I CAN DO IT, what ever my IT may be💜💜💜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you so much!! and I truly believe it. Where there’s a will, there’s a way you got this.💕

[@diydonna73]

[@tracyknight5186]

These flips/dupes are really good!!

[@judymccarthy6976]

Stumbled across your channel.....absolutely LOVE your ideas!!!

[@darleenalicea5022]

I enjoy your thrift flip and your three minute challenge love to see more

[@jonispruit8877]

I love the three minute challenge. How fun! ❤

[@dorothylehman4164]

Take your shade and go to an antique store.And you might be able to find one because the antique stores have so shades sometimes and you can get a new shade

[@designedtothenines]

Such a good idea! I ended up ordering an original one from eBay.

[@juanitavazquez5051]

Happy Mothers Day, beautiful ❤

[@lynns.fischer7026]

The lantern was a home run.

[@valorwoman8747]

They are gorgeous very expensive Stiffel lamps.

[@jerripahl9821]

Can you please tell me where you got your faux ferns? You always amaze me with your diys. You are so talented

[@ruthshellnorth-troup7351]

I think you’ve done a fantastic job on that candle dupe bravo

[@joleenbeling2336]

Love, love, this episode. Please do another one.

[@cynthiaschexnayder2852]

You go ladies have a lots of fun…😮 Go Lisa…

[@debbieturkett7250]

I was screaming “those are stiffel lamps!! Grab them, but don’t redo them!” I have two stiffel lamps from my great aunt. Most likely from the early 1900’s. Same gold and white colors. I’ve changed the shades thru the years and still have them. They’re beautiful and I love them.

[@gailrhodes2859]

I actually like your lantern best

[@savanah1407]

Thank you for not altering those lamps! You got a Great deal on them!

[@bobilly331]

Hey Natalee, a friendly correction from a language teacher. OSCILLATE is what a fan does, VACILLATE is what you do, i.e., shift from one thing to the other, being indecicive.

[@Chrissy_Mad-Scots-Wench]

As always NataLee, loved all your Thrifts. Definitely want to try your Lantern. Can you tell me the Design you used on the glass, please? ❤❤❤❤

[@geriburt285]

More of your challenges, they're so much fun to watch

[@jennyhullinger34]

I love the three minute challenge you always have such good videos ❤️

[@vickinoeske1154]

The lamps are gorgeous. I'm almost afraid to see how you change them.😊😏

[@tammyjoseph568]

Love your ideas. Thanks for sharing with us as well as your cut files. Just an FYI tried Decorative Mullion Window download nothing happens. I'm actually trying to find a Bottom to your PB dupe I had the metal container.

[@barbaranapravnik6364]

I absolutely love watching you! You’re so creative! Where did you purchase the ferns love them!

[@jessicahites871]

Your thrift stores are amazing! Wish we had some like that!

[@lynnh3710]

The flips turned out great. I'm inspired to get my deck ready for the summer.

[@dianadunne-brown9356]

The company that made the candle in your lantern is Luminara. That company was/ is responsible for all of the special lighting in the Disneyland and Disney World Haunted Mansions! I have several sets of Luminara candles. I have 6-8 lanterns with Luminara candles in them as well. You can set the timer on them so they come on and turn off at the same time each day. 🎉 😁 ❤ I really love how it turned out with the decals on the glass panels!

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you for letting me know! Love the candle. So realistic!

[@mettegrundt8932]

Think gold vase will be better, as the curves go with the hydrangeas 🌺

[@designedtothenines]

I think so too!

[@daliacolon2904]

Good job I’m never disappointed Thank you Natalie

[@DiRidpath]

Your table looks better than the Kelly Clarkson table. Your wood tone is warmer and nicer. The design on the top of hers is pointless when it's going to be covered by decor. Love the thrift store lamp turned planter. I had no idea what you could do with a lamp that big. lol I also like your Ballard lantern better. I like your top better. Love the 3-minute challenge. Congratulations Leslie!

[@rebeccawallace488]

Love your videos! May I please make a suggestion, your scone shades in your new lovely studio just disappear into the wall. Maybe a color, or cover the shades with matching fabric from the baskets below? Hope you don’t mind me saying that. You rock!

[@SSnow-i5e]

Have you made grid lines on windows with pin stripe tape for automotive use. Much better than black electric tape that some use. Love your work!

[@kathyfowler1274]

This makes me want to get my sister and my best friend and go to the thrift stores!!! 😊😅

[@sandydecamp3974]

Natalee, they are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them. Go for the re-do. love the show.

[@oreobenavidez953]

Omg!! Your dupes are way better. This was so much fun great job ladies 😊

[@designedtothenines]

Yay! Thank you!
