How to Decorate with Thrift Store Decor

[@maxinestone4264]

Thank you for sharing . Just joined your channel I am 73 years old live in Oklahoma love thrift stores

[@texasstardust6010]

....Thrift Store Decor....I'm 66 years young, it's been something I've been doing since my 20's....... you have to be aware, as you stated, with one's style and what you are looking at, to be discerning, and yet, be a bit open to repurposeing and the often " quirky " item that might work for ones home, idea, etc. One of a kind, as you stated. 🙂😊💛

[@PineandProspectHome]

Yes, I agree completely!

[@texasstardust6010]

[@sandrajoyner6474]

Thanks for the tips. Your advice comes from many years of decorating with items thrifted from various locations. All good ideas, not surprising, because your home is full of a cozy, comfy, uncluttered vibe. Your personality shines through the surroundings, and it's nice to see each of your videos. I started this message just as a thank you for your advice, you are a gem!😊

[@lesliecarson684]

Andrea, love your tips!! I haven’t purchased any decor lately... but when I do, I shop and decorate by your suggestions. I love mixing the old with the new. And sometimes I do have a touch of “grandma” lol!!! I have minimized my home over the last two years... but a specific touch , like my grandmothers China or other items of hers is how I bring in the old with any vintage finds I have . Less is more. Simplicity really makes a home feel calming. Your home is a true example of that. Thank you for your tips. Hope you are feeling well. Take care.

[@PineandProspectHome]

I am feeling well, thank you so much! And thank you for understanding my grandma reference, haha. So sorry! Your home sounds lovely!

[@monicadrew889]

I love all the soft blue accents in your home. So subtle and a cozy feel. 💕

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you!!

[@Nausome_nana]

I love your tips ❤️ I am a Nana but I try to keep updating my home decor so it doesn’t look like a grandma lives there 🤣🤣🤣🤣 . No offence taken ❤️❤️🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@PineandProspectHome]

Haha oh my goodness, I knew as soon as that slipped it that it came out wrong. Thank you for joking with me about it though, you are too sweet!

[@terrizimmerman5297]

I’ve just found you! It’s Incredible wisdom and a beautifully edited episode. I’m a grandma in the Southwest. It seems the house architecture often dictates my home decor. This house is all about traditional rustic for me. Hand thrown pottery, books, and succulents are in most rooms. And for the first time in our marriage, my husband and I are styling it! I know, I know, it’s been very challenging. If a piece doesn’t have the WOW factor for BOTH of us, we keep looking. Most of our furniture and decor is second hand purchased online, in thrift stores, or antique malls. It’s just about being wise with our money so that we can share more of our resources with others! I’m looking forward to watching more of your channel.

[@kathleenfrieden5948]

My style has evolved with time, and I'm sure it will change again and again. When thrifting it does take discernment mixed with "I saw this across a crowded room and knew it would be perfect in my home." Andrea, once again you are spot on, and to narrow it down to a few essential tips makes it so much simpler. Thrifting should be fun, like a treasure hunt, remembering these are previously loved items someone decided to let go of and share with someone else. Thanks as always, Andrea, for your insight and tlps. Take care. ❤️⭐🌻

[@thecharminghodgepodgecotta8363]

You definitely have a style for texture, there is something elegant about your space as it’s not too clutter nor too sparse, but just the right fit.

[@jeannieeakin1374]

Way worse than a “thrift store” look is a “Hobby Lobby just threw up in my home!” look! I love your style and have been trying to shift my home over to it.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Haha aww, well thank you so much!

[@cherricoles3457]

Totally agree. Thrift store finds feel curated

[@robinnieto2703]

New subscriber from Canada. Besides having the same 1st name, I too am a preacher's kid. I have been a long time thrifter & antiques collector. My style is cottage, shabby chic with traditional accents. Your videos are inspirational & very well done. Love the 3 ducks in a row on the wall - fun & charming idea.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Wow that is so amazing, nice to meet you Andrea! Thank you for your sweet words!

[@bobbietheeveningstitcher6841]

Years ago when I was really into antiques and primitives, a friend came over and said, "this looks just like my grandma's house when I was a kid"....UGH!!! That did it....I have been mixing new with old and I love it...and I am a grandma of 13 but, I don't want my house to look like it!! Great tips and video!

Your home is beautiful and so put together.

[@bobbipetty7411]

Decorating is personal taste. Do what you love.

[@PineandProspectHome]

I agree, thank you!

[@LourdesVenard]

Not buying littles is a lesson I finally realized after years of buying all these knick-knacks. While they were cute, they don't usually make a statement as much as bigger pieces.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Yes, exactly!!

[@julielefevre4184]

Another list of great tips! I do stay away from lots of little things. I agree with all of it. Esp with knowing your style and looking for unique things. That's what makes a unique statement and is not in everyone else's home.

[@lose999]

My style is eclectic but I love thrifting. I just found a black Pixar style pharmacy lamp for $7. I hesitated but it's perfect for a corner to spotlight my plants. Sometimes things find you rather than you finding them, if that makes sense. I love your wall baskets and am searching for something similar. I love your decor; it's so fresh and inviting.

[@mialeonarda8999]

Kudos to mom! She has lovely eye for the unique.!

*Great Tips* . I have a system for shopping my local thrift stores, I perimeter shop. First section is always linens, (most of my curtains, table linens and throws are thrifted. Second stop is art/frames/mirrors. Third is lamps, then dish and glassware and fourth is furniture. I recently changed up my color palette so I do scan for suitable items there.

I want to start this by saying I am no expert on anything, but I lean towards farmhouse style, before it was cool, but I grew up watching little house on the prairie and sometimes you can watch old movies and see things to decorate with in a certain style as well.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Yes, this is true!

[@PineandProspectHome]

That is so awesome to hear, and yes that item is so unique! I hope you have found other items that have made it fun and worthwhile though!

[@snuggleb100]

Several years ago I joined the farmhouse trend coming from primitive. I wanted a lighter, brighter look and this seemed the right way to go. Fast forward 4 yrs later I'm soooo over it. I love white furniture but the all white look was missing color. I'm struggling to find pictures like you have bc I'm way over the farmhouse signage. I still like a softer look to things like you do, but with a bit of French flair. I'm still mad about red LOL! So I'm stepping away from the all white or nothing look to a gentle but more color look. I started to add red but thinking I'll pull back and stay with grays, greens whites and blacks. We'll see. LOL! Love your ideas, they are refreshing and beautiful. God bless.

[@MsLisaBehr]

Thank you for sharing those tips. When you say it, it makes so much sense. I’ve been thrifting for years and have tried to do this, but I always get caught up in bring home too much and then it just looks like clutter. Lol. I need to focus on finding things more unique. And I need to learn how to make a beautiful Pinterest page like you have. Maybe there’s a class for doing that? Lol. I love looking at videos of your home. We have the same style but yours is so much more put together. 🤷‍♀️

[@micheledryden1057]

Thank you for your wonderful interior design ideas. I've been using more natural decorations like Texas wildflowers cut from the side of the road or broken branches with fall leaves. When they decay or the season ends I can throw them out and not have to store them until the next year.

Love your home! I like shopping at thrift stores too. I love touches of blues and yellows. I do find unique stuff at Big Lots and Home Goods but much of my stuff is from thrift stores and Amazon. I like carnival glass and depression-era glassware so I look for those at thrift stores or home estate sales.

I think your lovely home is more "French farmhouse" than English. Its really cute! My home is also all thrifted. Curated I say, as it has taken years of collecting and editing to get to this place.

Thank you!

[@chrys77cross]

1) Consider your style (make a Pinterest board of how you want your space to look/feel) 2) Look for unique, one-of-a-kind pieces 3) Look for larger, beautiful statement pieces rather than a bunch of little things to clutter the surfaces in your house 4) If you do purchase "littles" make sure they are cohesive to your style (i.e. colour, material) 5) Combine the old with the new to keep your home from feeling dated I would add, enjoy the thrill of the find and don't always go in expecting to bring something home!

[@debjh]

My style is just like yours! (And I’m a grandma!). I love how the light flows with this collected decor. Everything about it speaks to me. I also LOVE the mirror behind you, and your coffee table, and side tables. How did you get the bleached wood look and whitewashed effect? I have a couple of tables that were dark wood, I chalk painted and made them chippy in white. Now I’m thinking I want to make them look like yours. Do you have a video on how you did that? Thanks so much in advance for your answer. Blessings! ❣️ 🤗

[@janiewalkwitz9543]

Great video, Andrea! I love thrifting! I thought of a cozy, beautiful Inn called Old Edwards Inn in Highlands, NC, I think you would love some of the decor, probably not quite minimal but cozy and cottagy?

Thrift store/antique store decor is legit 95% of my home lol. I love that having second hand items it’s not like hey, if you like it go here and buy the exact same thing!! My style is actually French Farmhouse so a moreso rustic French country style (lots of washed out French blues/and whites). Also, did you snag that beautiful $5 basket?! I can see it styled like my profile pic ❤️

[@PineandProspectHome]

This sounds beautiful, and yes of course I did! Thank you!

[@gerigowers8318]

At 72, I'm still finding "my style". I just stripped my kitchen of everything and only want to put back what I love. I only have one item so far that I love (my 3 tiered wrought iron Longaberger basket holder that I've had for probably 25-30 years). Not sure what to do with the rest since I don't have a basement or much storage. Also, open concept home requires some cohesiveness, but my taste is all over the place in the other rooms (from traditional to Victorian, etc.) Hopefully I can figure it all out!
