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]

@@PineandProspectHome....so sweet! So kind, thank you for taking the time to reply! Blessings and Abundance..~

[@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!

[@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!😊

[@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.

[@andreaward1382]

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!

[@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]

Exactly what I was going to say!

[@conuregirl007]

I totally agree with you on this!

Hilarious, commentary true to my older long time thrifting, junking ❤️. Elizabeth

[@gloriamathews3035]

This grandmom not offended either all very helpful hints and you do have a lovely home. Enjoy the Journey God bless

[@gloriamathews3035]

Also your style looks timeless and classy comfortable, way to go Beautiful thank you

[@bobbipetty7411]

Decorating is personal taste. Do what you love.

[@PineandProspectHome]

I agree, thank you!

[@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.

[@johnniealford25]

Your style is so gorgeous and refreshing, Andrea! It definitely reflects you! 🌸

[@davenadainton4209]

Thank you for all of your beautiful content. I've spent the last 3 days watching over 25 of your beautiful home videos. We have similar taste. I'm in the UK. Isn't it lovely how we can all share ideas. Xx

[@sandielindemeyer9341]

I so agree with you, less is more, bigger substantial unique pieces.

[@charlenehoekstra1591]

Your home is beautiful and so put together.

[@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!!

[@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!

[@ninajohnson6578]

Excellent ideas. Thank you

[@PineandProspectHome]

You are so welcome, so glad you enjoyed it!

[@norm2007]

Thank for your video.with the covid in quebec we can't even bye a magasin in store,so your video that like a fresh Spring moment.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Aw, well hopefully it all passes soon!

[@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!

[@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. ❤️⭐🌻

[@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.

[@lindamerrick8278]

Your home is absolutely lovely. Your style I love and your home looks so comfortable.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you Linda!

[@karellarsen939]

“Grandma look” Haha. My sweet dear, true us Grandma’s LOVE you❣️. Thank you for my morning happiness❤️. Great tips! I love thrifting but sometimes find myself looking at the smalls. 👀 Have a beautiful week till I see you next time ❤️

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much, I hope you have an awesome week too, thank you for understanding my blooper haha!

[@monicadrew889]

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

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you!!

[@sandramader1880]

Such nice reminders! Large vs smalls spoke to me...I'm a Grandma and completely 'get' your point. :) You're lovely Andrea and I really enjoyed this!

[@EJNilsson]

Your home is absolutely lovely, Andrea. Great tips!!

[@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.

[@MyBlessedNest]

This Gramma loves your tips! Lol 🤗❤️🥰

[@yolandamarshall872]

Your home is so beautiful and cozy. I am trying to minimize my decor. I have a mixture of antiques and new. I accent with antiques and my furniture is new. Love your style! Tfs

[@williamdavis2386]

Hi from Georgina (UK) I am 63 and have been buying second hand for over 30 years,I am drawn to pretty pieces with roses or flowers on,I use it and admire it daily! I do love your more simple style though.

[@cyn-dvanwinkle4723]

Love your ideas ! I know what I like when I see it but really struggle putting it together! We are redoing my home so I am using your tools and heading out !

[@rosiehelminiak2947]

THIS is how I feel! I struggle with styling and putting things together...especially shelving. I have a fireplace with three shelves on each side and it is hard to keep from looking looking cluttered.

[@PineandProspectHome]

How fun, I hope you enjoy and find plenty of treasures!

*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.

[@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.

[@AP-gz6nq]

This is so perfectly timed! I just got home from thrift store shopping with my little boy.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Wow, that is so cool! I hope you found some treasures!

[@cbb_creationsceciliabaca775]

Your three tiered basket got me thrifting I’ve never been before and now I really enjoy it!...Thank you!...and I can’t find a three tiered basket yet! 😂

[@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!

[@cindyanderson8509]

I always enjoy your opinion and take on things! We have different decor- mine being cabin style- but I love your style...you have a beautiful home!

[@kathyorourke9273]

My furniture is 75% thrifted or more and I LOVE it.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Yes, that is such a good feeling and money saver!

[@lilymorales5922]

I love everything about your home. Awesome ideas to consider when mixing decor eras. Those ducks going up on the wall are just amusingly, decoratively amazing!! Talk about a decorative statement!! 💗

[@martyhighley8717]

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!

[@kated4359]

Great tip; thank you!

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.

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?

[@donnarakitzis2719]

4 great tips. Lovely home

[@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. 🤷‍♀️

[@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.

[@dawns4641]

I just got a killer deal from a recent thrift store. We need to reuse and recycle ♻️! Plus, the big box stuff everyone has, no original decor.

[@giddingsrocks]

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.

[@shainacallaway4445]

So helpful! Great ideas

This 2nd Grandma Loves Your Tips. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 TUFS

[@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!

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! ❣️ 🤗

Hi Andrea..I love love ur home ! So question ..at 0:42 that small bookcase what color is used on small shelving unit ? I’m in love with it …I wish I had the will power to less is more and I agree but my hands do other wise lol I’m so guilty is adding more which most people would say still looks nice but a tad cluttered if that makes sense lol Thanks for sharing ..you seem so super sweet and very down to earth ❤️

[@sunshine31525]

Happy New Year!!! Can I ask what color of white you painted through out your home?

[@JShow78]

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!

[@Julie-ei6zg]

It looks like you had corbels in the corner ceiling of where your sitting. I've never seen them like that before. Do you have video if that of closer look?

[@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!
