Come Vintage Furniture Thrifting With Me

[@tzinyernchong1939]

Your dining table in that dark colour actually looks like it belongs in that space - it sets off your dining chairs so beautifully and would stand out in relief against a floral wallpaper (like the one in your bedroom).

[@EliseBuch]

I do have a plan, and the table isn't staying like that 🥰

[@ΜαιρηΤριποδη]

I agree .

[@kokoslores9666]

I would rather see it in a lighter colour = more Bohemian style.

[@maxinebaskerville6020]

Agree... I would wait and live with it until the walls and sky light are sorted. Time makes things look different. But that's just me. 😊❤

[@lesliesolwayboyd689]

I agree with you

[@rikkemeek1506]

Wouldn't it be easier to use different colour table clothes instead of painting it. It's also a good way to see what color would be best in that corner.

[@katalingerstenberger2758]

I was thinking the same…👍🏻

[@barbarafrench9461]

Your table is perfect with the chairs. I have cherry wood furniture that is 30 + years old. I wouldn't change the color despite everyone's cringing over orange brown wood!!! Embrace the beauty of all wood colors.

[@libbyhinson4676]

Your new table is gorgeous! Someone else suggested to move your large mirror where the green cabinet is now and it would reflect so much light from your windows! I agree! I love using mirrors in my home for that reason! ❤️ Happy decorating!

[@mosstaylor9859]

I say TWO of those mirrors on that wall, side by side would be gorgeous 💜

[@annbrake9125]

I think the large gold mirror would look beautiful on wall where green cabinet is

[@tracymiller2765]

Move the mirror, before you order the skylight!

[@kirstyb27]

What a great idea! The mirror would look fantastic there!

[@vickinoeske1154]

I can't believe what beautiful, quality merchandise your thrift shops have in your area. I can only say wow and that I'm envious. 😊

[@mosstaylor9859]

Me too. I have never found very good thrift stores in my part of the USA except when I go a thousand miles away to my summer home Upstate NY.-- New York has the best shopping ever!!!maybe its the population, IDK.

[@vickinoeske1154]

@mosstaylor9859 I do think it depends on location. I live an hour north of Atlanta, and it's all crapola here. haha Maybe closer to the 2 million dollar homes in Atlanta, the pickings are better. But, who wants to drive on the off-chance that you may find something?

[@mosstaylor9859]

@@vickinoeske1154 I agree, I used to drive to the East side of Nashville Tn. ( RICH AREA! ....lol ) but its a long drive from the south side In which I live ( working class area. ) Unless I make a full day of it, and have my own truck. ☺

[@jac1797]

My suggestions. Take the time to hang up all the artwork that you have and donate the rest. Find table lamps so that your house isn't so dark. It will feel so much more cozy!

[@opinionated2]

Yes, and I love lighting candles, as well. I have glass holders for my votives that I set inside my tea cups from my set of china. They are on my dresser . I have found many uses for my china, other than using it in the traditional way for a meal to entertain guests.

[@mosstaylor9859]

I love lamps.

[@opinionated2]

FYI - you can remove the votive and let the candle just melt down in the tea cup - very easy to clean.

[@jayemowrey1416]

Design rule of thumb light from every corner !! Yes lamps are needed ... I agree wallpaper bright in back wall, hang picture s , skylight would be beautiful....live with that table a long time before painting. ..you may learn to live it ...I do.

[@opinionated2]

Yes, lamps are good, and skylights add natural light, which is better for your emotional well being, as you connect more with nature, Plants love being near skylights and although there is an up front cost for installation, you do save a little more money on electricity in the long run.@@jayemowrey1416

[@janinedevilliers510]

Hi Elize, great furniture finds. I was thinking maybe you could move the big gold mirror and put it against the wall where the green cabinet is, to reflect the light in the room until you get a skylight and move the green cupboard and put it where the mirror is until you find the right piece of furniture that you like. You could add faux green plants and put them next to the big mirror to give that space life, and add a free standing light in gold. Of course you need a big dining room table. 😂 You are funny. Seriously, the small round table was abit small for the space. Well done on your lovely purchases. The couch🛋️ is so cute. Enjoy. 🤗💖💐

[@loissaedder2214]

I was surprised by how well the new table fit in the space. That room is very large.

[@frau_guteluft]

„It‘s important to have a big dining table when you live on your own“ that just cracked me up 😂

[@nancywhite1439]

Elise….I actually love your dining table color the way it is! After 50 years of marriage when we downsized, I went thrifting for a good expandable table to be used for just us or family gatherings….and found a beautiful cherry table & chairs from a couple also moving into a condo but not for family gatherings any more. I am so satisfied with the feeling of being grounded with cherry wood that I also use it for cutting out patterns on fabric for clothing for the grandchildren….besides many grand dinners! You may want to wait on changing the color till getting on your wallpapered wall and skylight. I can see why you want the feeling of not so much cramping overhead but lift with a skylight. Your beautiful mirror for that space highlights, sparkles & expands the feeling! Wonderful!

[@milissaklicka7019]

I love the curved arms of the sofa,it is so charming. I can’t wait to see the little area you create! Thank you also for sharing your street scenery it is gorgeous and so different than Southern California.

[@mosstaylor9859]

I love when Elise shows us her City, her villages and shops! I do like that lots.

[@louisesuffolk]

Your dining table colour is perfect as it is. Please consider keeping it. So elegant

[@EliseBuch]

I don't like it, it's veeery dark 🥰

[@schuylerbogue7226]

Light in that corner would be amazing 🌟 ☮

[@julieryan1616]

Just love the table as is ❤

[@EliseBuch]

But it's not staying like that tho 🥰

[@dawncollier8944]

Love the new table. I agree with others the colour of the table looks fab especially with your chairs. ❤

[@tamaferrell1720]

That large mirror would be nice where the cupboard is, so when people are sitting at the table, they can see outdoors, and it would bring more light to the space. It seems wasted where it is now.

[@h.k.617]

The dining table IS beautiful and fills Up the space perfectly.

[@juliecoffey4161]

Can’t wait to see what you are going to do! One of the joys of living on your own is that you can paint the wood on your table if you want to! It’s fun to be creative with thrifted finds, and I love watching what you do. Great content.

[@mosstaylor9859]

Elise has a talent in decor and an incredible vision for design!. She reminds me of me in my younger years, only much more depth in design and color ( when I had to be careful with $ ) 😉.

[@jayemowrey1416]

Lamos woud do wonders !!! Lighting from all corners... ❤

[@mala890]

I love your skylight idea. Once it's dark outside wouldn't you still have a dark room. I do think a hanging light over the table would be lovely.

[@Cloud-577]

Elise not liking suggestions is just gonna limit the conversations in the comment section. Maybe Elise might not agree with a decorative suggestion but someone else like myself might find their tips helpful when it comes to decorating my own space. Just a thought.

[@Cloud-577]

Take what you need and leave the rest.

[@GarmentofPraiseSewing]

Have you considered placing the large gold floor mirror where the cabinet is in the dining room? Just guessing it would pull some of the light from the window into the dining room for now.

[@DarkMoonPaperie]

I think the table looks great with the rest of your furniture. I don't think it needs changing colour at all 😘

[@vellichorillustrestudio2748]

I absolutely love you're thrifting videos! That rose print chair sang to me.

[@dianevp8644]

Hi Elise, skylights are great, but be sure you get the right contractor. All of them will tell you, 'no problem' however, to cut in a skylight into an existing roof is sometimes asking for problems, especially with rain, frost, ice and snow in your area. Some roofers may advise against it - take your time. Love your channel, Happy New Year!

[@strangereality1295]

The table and chairs are beautiful the way they are. The color makes it look elegant.

[@aruvielevenstar3944]

What about midnight blue for the table? And a beautiful wallpaper behind it with floral and birds in a turquoise tone? Blue is complementary to orange, which is the color of your sofa. 😊

[@ClaraSchnitzel]

The sofa is so lovely in your shop! The pattern looks so pretty with the patterns of the clothes! Also, I love the table as it is! I think it speaks really nicely to the brickwork in the living room. But it’s your space and it’s most important that you’re happy with it!

[@vickinoeske1154]

I like the table dark, as it is. It's lovely. Wallpaper on the back wall would add a lot of interest.

[@JanTrewhitt]

I hope you don't have any trouble painting your new table! Painting over a glossy finish is quite difficult!

[@bethwhite2857]

Try the big mirror on the end wall of dining room .. it will reflect the natural light from the window 💕 Also try twinkle lights or fairy lights on top of your cupboard ..that will light the ceiling.. making any room brighter 🤠

[@sweetattitude]

I love that you are going to put in a sky light. There is nothing like natural, overhead light. Can hardly wait to see it.

[@cindyfreihofer2093]

Elise, be careful about getting a skylight. They are notoriously known for being leaky. Also, I just read that here in the US they aren't putting them in new homes anymore.

[@EliseBuch]

Here in Denmark they are super normal 🥰

[@antonellabassi3466]

Elise. If for some reason a skylight turns out to be a hassle look into solar tunnels. Velux does great ones.

[@choochcardinale6595]

I love the dark table but it's your decor. It does set off the chairs. If you paint your table will you have to paint the rims of your chairs so it will match it? As far as the skyline it sounds like a great idea but make sure that the carpenter does a great job because skylights that you put in a roof tend to leak. So make sure he puts in some extra leak-proof stuff around the skylight.

[@gretchencassidy8396]

Elise, you could lighten the color of your table and show off the grain in the wood by just adding liming wax or Cerusing wax and then buffing against the grain. Amy Howard at Home has great choices in those two waxes. Plus she sells a product called Clean Slate that will clean off any old wax and/or furniture polishes. And she ships internationally. I’m in America and I only use her products because they are so good and so safe for the end user and your furniture. She has some great videos on KZbin as well if you want to check her out. Great table and couch purchases by the way.

[@connielynn7624]

You don't live alone you live with yourself and yourself is just fine!!

[@christinewilson3892]

I would put a Large Glass Chandelier over the Table x❤

[@veronicalombarte5802]

The dark table looks good with the dark chairs in that position. If you want to brighten up the space the use of a colourful table runner would do the trick. Also a lamp in the corner with one bulb going up to the ceiling and the other going in another lower direction pointed at the wall would give more balance. You could even place a small but tall potted plant next to the lamp to add greenery there. Plants always brighten up a space. I think your home looks lovely. Just needs the right accents for lighting the space. ❤

[@TechniGrimeCyndieSmith-mo8yc]

That giant mirror would look great where the green piece is. Love all the new dresses!

[@darviecampbell2763]

You might look into Sun Tubes Elise. They are smaller than a sky light and cost much less and really put out as much natural light as a sky light. I live in a heavy wooded forest in the pacific northwest where it's often dark and rainy and my sun tubes work beautifully! Just a thought for you!

[@rangerjudi9144]

Perfect vintage this week with beautiful coats and jackets and I can't wait to see the seating area in the boutique. The dining room table surprising looks great in your house. What about adding some recessed lighting in your dining room area rather than a skylight? A few cans cans will add such a warm glow, lots of light and they don't interfere with your aesthetic, so you could still add a beautiful chandelier over the table if you wanted. They're also a great way to highlight a hutch or art pieces. Thanks for taking us along this week, who wouldn't enjoy January in Denmark with Elise 😘

[@sewciology22]

[@robine916]

I can't wait to see what color/colors you choose for the table! I taught my daughter to look at the style/shape of an item and envision it in a different color, as you can change it to suit your style. I was thrilled to see you bought the painting of the man.🥰

Hi Elise, I’m so happy that you finally found the perfect size sofa for your store; & she’s pretty too. The dinning table looks really good in that area, since it’s a large area. I’m a symmetry person & go for symmetry design & decor. Your large floor mirror is stunning & would make a WORLD of difference if you would move it to the center of the wall, so that it’s centered to the wall & dinning table. Symmetry is most important when decorating & it will give your dinning area an instant lift; the look will be stunning - I promise.

Do a lot of research for a carpenter! Ask friends and other shop owners. Also, ask realtors, they know everyone! Beautiful sofa. Beautiful table. I would live with it for a while before a final decision. You're adorable.

[@darlenechandler2403]

I like the dark table, it looks very sophisticated and if candles and dishes on the table for guests or just yourself it would look different. I think the green cabinet that you are getting rid of does not go with the new table, so I think when you get rid of that cabinet, you may think differently about the darkness of the table. It looks lovely with your sofa. I used to paint a lot of my furniture, but then thought I had a house just too full of it and no contrast. Love the shop sofa, so beautiful. I would not do a skylight. I would put a large lamp on anew sideboard that you hopefully will buy to go with your table. The lamp would make enough light. And another lamp in your living area that was larger to give off enough light also.

[@cathyhelmuth823]

Love the design elements of your dining room table. The shop sofa is stunning!

[@bqueen2229]

re-locating your large mirror to replace the tall cabinet would give light and the best garden view into the current quietness of the end zone and corner. also agree with other post about filling all corners with lamps for friendlier lighting. thanks for your inspiration over here in Canada xoxo

[@theloveyourfacegal2773]

Cute 😍 purse, I like the table it makes a great circle table for cards as well 👍. Now you have a beautiful home with such a beautiful atmosphere remember to plan some gatherongs there ❤. You can cover the color with a table cloth for now. If you dont like the cabinet as a focal point you can maybe move it to a different wall its hood for storage. You could decopouge the cabinet doors with more nuetral color if its too green to you? I love your sofa choice judt beautiful. Stsy cozy 💕

I noticed so many suggestions in the comments, and of course i have one too;) Elise, have you ever thought of switching your large mirror and tall cabinet in this space? Maybe the mirror on the other wall would bounce some light around the room, just enough to suffice until you get the skylight put in. Love watching you- keep it real, love love love that about you.
