Finding the Perfect Antique Home Decor for My Breakfast Nook Makeover ✨

[@leet2762]

Looking forward to seeing the end result 😊

[@carolsuttibugha5881]

I love your style, I love mid century too, with a boho twist. I gasped wen I saw some of the items you highlighted in your video.

[@katger69]

Great findings, but the wooden frame, OMG what a show stopper!

[@BarbaraellenHarston]

I love the teal mug! So unique 70’s vibe for me. Slowly but surely it will come together.❤

[@khill6510]

Love the little lamps!

[@livingwithlk]

Me too they're so cute!

[@mariascalzitti4190]

I love the painting and the mug!!! I also liked the very first clock (square silver) that was in the video.

[@julianne089]

I did too! I was also thinking about diy-ing a larger version of it with peel and stick chrome or mirror paper… vinyl numbers etc…

[@anniecostello2684]

We love the teak lamp with the cylinder shade! Please share when you clean it? Maybe splurge on one of those ceramic tiled plant stands...you only live once. Go for it!

[@gailwilliams5278]

I like the idea of a still life for an eating nook. Maybe several, if you have the space.

[@roseshoop6093]

I love the small lamps but I am honestly drawn more to the warm wood with turned base lamp, 80’s or not. Love it! 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@scarletowl8337]

Art teacher here 🎨 love the still life painting you found! Looking forward to seeing in your nook 👏 teal mug ☕️ also awesome 🤩

[@kathyv3909]

Your music is so relaxing. I have a big Día de Los Muertos project I've been working on for several days and I was putting the last components together before the installation in my college this morning. I played your video and just listened to you chat and the music vibe was perfect. The project is installed (yay!) and I came home and re-watched your video and actually watched this time. So many nice things to look at and crave. I'm excited to see the finished video. Your squatty coffee mug is gorgeous and a perfect fit for you home.

Wow! Your antique stores are amazing. The prices of things show that though. I’m in Washington. Our thrift stores have always been incredible. I’ve never walked away without something great. Our antique stores, not so much, though if I went closer to Seattle, I’m sure it would be a different story. I absolutely don’t have the budget to spend 200 dollars on a lamp. Those stores you took us to though! Man, so much good stuff in one place!

[@livingwithlk]

I keep hearing Washington is thee place for thrifting! I can't wait to check out some stores there. It seems cheaper up there too from the videos I've seen! California is expensive no matter what it is, so.. there's that haha -- but I am obsessed with these stores now! They're the best I've found in SD to date..

[@poppysydney3564]

That mid century modern lamp was gorgeous! It'll look great on top of a small stack of heavy books, or on the floor next to that large plant:)

[@stevedavis9742]

Good finds. Really love the picture. Liz

[@CanadianQueenmagenta]

Love, Love, Love the little lamps. So unique!

[@paulabuck5976]

I ❤ the 2 little coastal/boho lamps. Would you please show us what you end up doing with them? And I really enjoyed the cool stores bc there was so much to see. Thank you for taking us along! ❤

[@marciabyram6003]

I like the lamp you already have the best. I have photos I hang instead of art. They mean more to me since I am older and live by myself now. Replacing the metal blinds with the wooden ones is a good idea too.😊

[@patriciabradford807]

Really like the painting you bought.

[@bonniejordan3441]

I love the little lamps ❤❤ great find

[@gracerodriguez6869]

Love all the items you bought,, …😊

[@cartwheelsinthezendo]

Great video. You have such fabulous shops in California. But pricey! Loved so much of what I saw in the video. That bird would've gone home with me. About the rattan lamps. You can stain them darker but what I especially love about them is the contrasty nature of the tones in the rattan. It adds so much depth and texture to the lamps that makes them seem unique. They're a really great find.

[@katarzynawisniewska783]

So many beautiful things today!❤ Very good inspiration - thank you! 😊

[@KattEyl]

Looking forward to seeing the finished room.

[@shygreens]

I love watching your videos in-part because you gravitate towards many items that I typically don't, and seeing how you style them so incredibly is very fun and inspiring to me~ All the items you snagged were so cute, and the little rattan lamp is gonna look so good! 😍 Putting a mirror above the coffee bar could be so cute, too~ You could even personalize it with white chalk marker to put the favorite coffee recipes you guys are currently using, or seasonal drawings, etc. ☕ (The clock at 10:36 also produced the most soul-escaping gasp from me in the best way)

[@christinewilliams7005]

I love the small basket lamps - good find!

[@nessiepenguin]

I prefer the big lamp ☺️

[@chandaharkins4418]

That antique mall at the beginning! 😍 I love the teak lamp you bought!

[@livingwithlk]

Right?!!

[@ssw1950]

On those rattan lamps...find a crochet doily to put on top of the shade. That is what I do to my lamp shade tops. Don't attach it, just lay it over the top. It also helps filter the light

[@antiquesrestoration3874]

Considering you're so close, you might want to head on down to Mexico for a little shopping trip.

[@GinaAdams-tw7lh]

Nice, shops and great haul, coming together 😊

[@Peopleperker]

Amazing job on the coffee bar redo! Consider using a wall mounted fixture if you need additional light. The top of your coffee bar next to your kitchen perhaps could be empty for a prep area, or perhaps have a serving tray for carrying multiple items between the coffee nook and the kitchen.

[@madzabinga8382]

I loved all the Tonala pottery!!

[@gghhiiyy456]

Awesome choices ❤ I didn’t like the rattan lamps when I saw them in the store but you convinced me 😍

[@lindaroyal8161]

Antique malls are fun, I've always found them to be more pricier than thrift stores though. I think a couple of open shelves above the coffee bar would work nicely.

[@karenkeltner2014]

Lowe’s has a great selection of lampshades!

[@heatherwhite2788]

I like a mirror just about anywhere!

[@olliejilliangil8382]

I like the taller lamp you got.

[@kimwilson3831]

The lamps are cool!

[@GloriaDeWalt]

Are you going to make a frame for the painting, or source one? I am super interested in seeing how you make a frame, if that's what you decide to do.

[@valadd9173]

Great finds!

[@kedeglow2743]

Decor is pricey where you live, but you sure have a lot of beautiful choices!

[@karinapfel650]

Was that a Bentwood bench? Drooling!

[@dianeschenkelberg8270]

I'm going to have to go to San Diego just to go to those markets! Some of the prices though.... $22 for a coffee mug?!

[@livingwithlk]

Ok right? I was like....

[@LizKornegay]

You're gaining subscribers so fast! I'm not at all surprised.

[@pamelajames5767]

I know how you feel about that mismatch..ugh floor in the nook...maybe you could find several matching rugs to totally coverup the floor...how about a large indoor outdoor rug, earthy looking or severalsmaller rugs that match each other.?? Liking all the designs you come up with!!

[@carolynalfonso4548]

Good eye!💖

[@channamasala1]

I absolutely gasped when I saw that Showa-era Japanese lamp. It's almost certainly too expensive in the US but I would have bought that in Taiwan, where I live, in a heartbeat (that sort of thing is not too pricey here). But to each their own I guess.

[@olliejilliangil8382]

Anyone else have trouble reading the yellow words?

[@user-ui1zv8bd4y]

I have a plethora of eye issues so do not say anything thinking its my singular issue 😊

[@carolestone1079]

Just found yr channel and been binge watching...I grew up in CA miss the ocean, but 2nd thrifting...you have great taste!

[@garlicgirl3149]

I llove that piece of art! Those lamps...I was hoping you would get them. And IG...to me they have changed so much it is not worth it.

[@heatherwhite2788]

Wish I could remember the name of the antique mall I went to in San Diego… I think I selected it for being open till 7. I got a mint green Melmac butter dish in excellent condition and a collection of stone fruit that got me stopped at the airport 😅

[@veronikayup]

Little lamps are pretty cute, but the 80s one icks me out somehow, not sure why. Maybe because I remember the 80s as a kid and thought the 80s decor is pretty hideous!

[@dianeguy7452]

I love that little lamp but for $65 u think they could’ve cleaned it! 😮

[@CClovesthrifting]

Just found your channel, and I am catching up with all of your videos! Love your style and how discriminating your taste is. Great job. But....girl, you need to hit up the thrift stores! I know California can have some high prices, but you will get much better deals, especially since you have such great vision for items.

[@livingwithlk]

Thanks! I have a big playlist on here of all the thrift stores I’ve gone to and you’ll see the prices aren’t much cheaper! And the selection is much more general. The options are just not high quality in terms of style. It’s rare to find a good piece there as they’re very picked over in California. If I’m looking for specific statement pieces I only ever find those on Facebook Marketplace, estate sales, or the antique malls. As you’ll see from my secondhand shopping videos!

[@AbigailsArtfulAbode]

That's so funny, I hand carried similar cobra candlesticks back from Europe and paid 75 euros. And I love your music, where do you get it from?

[@RitaVernoy]

❤❤❤❤

[@MyRosie2007]

The prices!!!!

[@blessed38]

Blessings

[@sburwell75]

I would be having sensory overload.

[@livingwithlk]

I have sensory overload at Marshall's! I'll take an antique store any day hahaha

[@Clancyriley]

Stop saying LIKE. Very distracting. Love your ideas!😉

[@livingwithlk]

Funny you mention it! 'Like' actually isn’t just filler for young females (who are often the recipients of such critique)-it’s 'an incredibly versatile and dynamic word' that helps bring, like, nuance and connection to conversations. As linguist Alexandra D’Arcy explains, it lets me tell a story 'without promising complete accuracy,' making it easier to convey the feeling of what I’m saying. It’s also a handy way to check if we’re, like, on the same page. So, I guess I’ll keep saying it, thanks for noticing!!😉 Source: www.theguardian.com/science/2022/may/15/why-do-people-like-say-like-so-much-in-praise-of-an-underappreciated-word
