How to Thrift Without Cluttering Your Home - Thrift Haul and How I Use my Found Treasures

Do you find yourself at the store buying random things you're not quite sure what you are going to do with? You want to bring something new into your home for a fresh look, to change things up a bit, but you don't know exactly what to do with everything, so you end up with piles, boxes, closets and then you try to declutter SO MUCH STUFF!!
In today's video I show you my #1 tip for reducing clutter (especially if you are a thrifter!) and I show you exactly what I do with each item I purchase.

I vote for the one single print. I find that when I have a bunch of stuff (like you have with all the books to the right) that when you hang up multiple pictures it can give a vibe of being too cluttered. The one simple picture tones it down and simplifies an area.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Thanks, Kelby! That is great insight. 😊

[@isamarcano9442]

I agree!

[@isamarcano9442]

I agree!

[@isamarcano9442]

I agree!

[@claireevans6284]

I vote for the four printsThe large print is very similar to the shape and size of the cabinet. Somehow that feels too heavy. The four create the same basic large shape while being lighter in feel. However, looks like I'm in the minority. Well done! So glad I found you.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Hi Claire! I really appreciate your thoughtful comment. I love these prints so much! 🤣 The majority was definitely for the large watercolor, which surprised me. I really like the thinking behind your choice and I’ll bet you are very intentional in your decorating 😊 Thanks for your encouragement and welcome to the Peaceful Home! 😊

[@roksannastephens4375]

Agree

I love that you tuck away little treasures fo you grandkids to find. I'm a sap but I was tearing up. My grandma used to do the same thing.❤ now I do it for my kids! I also love that you are homesharing. I've never heard that term to describe multi-generational living. I think it's beautiful to have lots of loved ones around!

[@lorrainenaples6914]

I like the single large picture.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Thanks for watching, Lorraine! I really appreciate your opinion! 😊

[@abiering]

I love the new photo. It picks up the color of the books that are on your bookcase. Just beautiful!

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Thanks, Annette! I agree!

[@lyndakling901]

I don’t buy books for their colour!

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

@@lyndakling901 that totally makes sense - the most important part is the content. I personally love books so much that I buy them for their insides and their outsides 😂

[@grekahg3938]

I like the look of the 4 CURRIER AND IVES prints, however I think the large river print fits the room decor better.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

I agree, Greka! 😊 Thank you so much for watching and for commenting!

[@fernengelhorn6277]

I am one for the olden days (and I guess for seasonal decoration), and altho I appreciate the watercolor, I'd go for the Currier and Ives prints.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

[@brendahutchinson6605]

I like the 4 Currier & Ives!

[@eileenalholinna5310]

I have that set of Johnson Brothers China! My in laws gave it to my husband and me on our wedding day!!! Over the years I bought more pieces to make it a set of 12! We have 9 children so we used it for special occasions!! We were married in 1965! This set is almost 59 years old!! And I still love it!! ❤

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Oh wow! That is amazing! I can’t believe you have nine children - you are a blessed woman! Thanks so much for watching and for commenting . 😊

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Thanks, Vicki!! 😊

[@jeanniecollier6763]

First time watcher today, but I have subscribed, and now I will binge watch your previous videos this weekend. The large new thrifted print is so pretty, and that gives you so many beautiful colors to play with.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Thanks, Jeannie! I appreciate you watching and commenting with your vote . Welcome to the Peaceful Home! 💛

[@Elaine-qn7ls]

The single print make a statement. It’s the right scale for the chest and the space.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Thanks, Elaine! I appreciate your vote! 😊

[@TeresaLongmire]

I like the four pictures

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

They are beautiful and classic, aren’t they? Thank you so much for your vote and for watching! 😊

[@DebraCole-dr5fy]

I have been collecting the blue Currier and Ives for years. My mother-in-law gave me some plates when I was married in 1977. Those were ruined when my house burned. So I started picking up more pieces when I would go to the flea market or thrift store. I have quite a collection! What is unique for me is that most were made the same year I was born--1954. 70 years old! So I've been collecting since I was 23. I recently acquired some relatively flat serving bowls, which I have been using to make personal size salads. So great to see them on here, because where I live they are no longer so collectible. My boyfriend, who passed in 2019, would call my house "The Flea Market House", before it became popular. Thanks for the video!

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your boyfriend. He named your house well!! I’m so glad you’ve been able to build up a new collection. Thanks for watching, Debra!!

[@janicefinch5157]

I like the four over the cabinet but keep the other one for somewhere else. It’s really lovely.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Thank you for your vote, Janice! I appreciate it! 😊

[@dakota7238]

Thank you for the fun video! I too try to remember that as much as I love a new thrift find, if I'm not replacing something else with it, or if I don't have a specific home for the new item, I try to walk away. Sometimes I go back if I love it enough, however!

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

You sound very disciplined!! I admire that. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your wisdom!

[@user-sc9lb4vp5u]

Every time I walk away from something I want, it is gone when I go back

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

@@user-sc9lb4vp5u That has definitely happened to me, too! ☹️ I just have to trust that that item wasn’t meant to go home with me. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@barbcairns2408]

My first time seeing this and I am so happy I found it!! I like the single watercolor.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Hi Barb! Thanks so much for watching and for commenting. Welcome to the Peaceful Home!

[@Desertcrone]

Love the new thrifted watercolor. It looks better than the 4 in an already busy room.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Thank you so much! This vote has been the majority by far! Thanks for watching and for commenting 😊

[@tennisfan2658]

Teresa, the blue & white dinnerware was my mother's choice for our family growing up in NC in the 60's. She purchased a 'featured piece' from the grocery store (Winn Dixie?) each week or month until she had the complete set. We ate off it for years! I believe it may have been called steamboat or river boat -- or maybe just a what a fanciful child comes up with while plowing thru her cornflakes & banana. Thanks for the memory!

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Yes! That’s exactly how it was originally distributed. I just found that so fascinating. You are right - it is called steamboat and I’m so glad it was a pleasant memory. Thanks so much for watching and for commenting. 💛

[@lynnek4226]

My mom‘s choice was this pattern as well. I grew up in the 60s/70s and our family had these dishes until the early 2000s! My mom must’ve purchased ours at A&P or Shop Rite because there was not a Winn-Dixie store in South Jersey. I do recall that the name of the print of some of these pieces was The Old Grist Mill.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

@@lynnek4226 Yes! The old grist mill! I have heard that, too. I love the different scenes on each piece. Ireally excited about doing more research on it!! Thanks so much for watching, Lynn! 😊

[@teresa3070]

Takes me back. Mom purchased hers from King Soopers grocery store in Colorado during the 70s. I remember the display in the store. Each week or month (?) they would add new pieces. They were made well. And made to last. Used a long time and none ever chipped.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

@@teresa3070 Wow! That is quite an endorsement! They are such beautiful dishes. I’m glad it brought back good memories. Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@donamurphy8182]

I vote for the single large water color over the cabinet of games for sure! That way what is on top of the cabinet showcases much better in my opinion. You remind me of myself as a thrifter. I am a newbie thrifter, keep what I purchase but am picking up way too much now. I love most of what I have, turned clay pitcher, a couple of beautiful crystal bowls, one 10” and the other 5-6” diameter. Both are gorgeous, some pewter candlesticks but then there are a few spontaneous buys that I didn’t really need. I guess that is to be expected.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Sounds like you have some great finds!! Thrifting is so fun but it’s even more tempting to buy things you don’t need because of the low cost. 😬 It was really fun to read your comment. Thanks so much for watching!

[@melaniehancock5652]

Definitely the large single print. Lovely home!!

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Thanks, Melanie! I appreciate your vote!

[@peridevlieg4356]

I think the single painting would look amazing

[@kacee9553]

I like the one big picture. I love the picture and the colors coordinate so well with your books below. I enjoyed your video and thought how amazing it was that it popped up on my KZbin feed because as of late I have been buying quite a few things from the thrift stores and for the most part I have a good idea where they are going to go, but I also don’t want more than I need. I have always been one that less is more until recently 🥴 (finding all these goodies at the thrift store has made me into a hoarder. 😮

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Haha… it turns me into a hoarder as well! It’s really hard when we are surrounded by so many beautiful things. Thanks so much for your vote and thanks for watching! Welcome to the Peaceful Home, Kacee!!

Lovely finds but I especially love the larger print over that table. I find that smaller prints are better in hallways or in gallery walls, but I think the big print in that wall is much better. It just looks so bright and happy. Thanks for sharing😊

[@bigmcfan]

The watercolor is best in my opinion. The four C&I prints seem cluttered. Great finds !

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Totally agree

[@cyndijobes]

I have recently thrifted many of the Courier and Ives pieces that you recently thrifted. I absolutely love the scenes on these items. Reminds me of my childhood. Standing over a fence talking with by neighbor friends. The other one with ice skating in the backyard. I’ve just stacked mine and placed them on the top of a low mini China cabinet. Easy to grab and use for lunch while eating at my desk. I also have that same pottery piece with the blue stripes I thrifted it for $2. I have wooden spoons in mine. It’s such a classic piece.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Ohhh… I didn’t think about putting spoons in it - great idea!! Thanks so much for watching and for your thoughtful comment. 😊

[@kathleengillard9120]

My mother had those dishes. She never used them . They were a grocery store promotion in west Michigan, I believe in the early 1960s, where you spent a certain amount on your groceries and received a piece.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Exactly! I think that is so cool! It's amazing to think these are now collector's items. Thanks so much for watching and for commenting. :)

[@sheilasanders7908]

Definitely, that watercolor! It looks perfect above the new cabinet. What a find.

I’m a first time viewer. There are so many thrift- haul videos that I hesitate to look at too many but I liked the de- clutter aspect along with creative thrifting that you present.

[@shannonodell6207]

I vote for the single painting. If it is indeed an original watercolor that is a steal! I do watercolor painting and the large ones are often done by highly experienced watercolorists. The frame and glass alone are worth $100 if new and made of real wood.

[@judybrown4769]

First time visit to your channel.. We use the blue and white Currier and Ives dinnerware. We tend to eat large salads, so the serving bowls work great. I have most of the pieces and accumulated enough for 8 ppl. My mom gave me some Friendly Village, and I've added some pieces, and we use those for special dinners but they are displayed on my hutch. The other plate you held up with the Old English Countryside-my mom had one random plate and gave to me as well. I keep one cup in the glass canister on my counter to scoop out oats. It has the winter scene on it so its perfect to display that way, and we use all these things. I had to laugh because I have a wooden primitive bowl and it looked like the one you had the toys in. I purchased a wash stand a year ago to put games snd the grandkiddos toys in so they're handy when they come, but not seen. I like the look of both the 4 pictures and the karge thrifted one. You can't go wrong with either. And what a steal. It's beautiful.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Hi Judy! I absolutely loved reading your comment. Sounds like we have a lot in common. 😊 You are the first viewer to not have a strong opinion, but I agree with you - they both look beautiful, which is why I needed some help deciding. 🤣 Thank you for watching and welcome to the Peaceful Home!!

[@nicolebauer186]

I would not chose one over the other. I love both selections of artwork you own. I like to change things up occasionally. Art work is so flat and can be stored easily behind or underneath furniture. I have several pieces that I rotate in and out.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

I love that, Nicole! I have picture ledges in my dining area for that exact reason. I have commitment issues! 🤣 So much beautiful artwork - so little space! Thanks for watching. 😊

[@sueshannon4227]

The four smaller prints complement the exterior surface of the cabinet which is similarly divided, and make the wall look balanced. (At least from the limited view we have of the entire room.) I can't tell if the book shelves compete too much with the wall prints. You mentioned there is a window in the room, and given the large single pane of glass on the large print, you may end up getting glare on sunny days making it harder to enjoy the beauty of the print. I have run into that problem, even with light fixtures.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

As someone who paints almost daily with watercolour…definitely go with that gorgeous painting!!! Another idea for the lampshade is to try some soft watercolour on the shade.

[@lynneallison1296]

Hi Teresa! This is my first time watching your videos. I was excited to see that you enjoy a Royal China set, Currier & Ives. I think it’s beautiful and I really enjoyed your video on the history. I collect a sister set in green and white called Old Curiosity Shop. My mom had a few pieces and I remember liking the pictures as a child. None of hers survived the onslaught of seven children, but as an adult I started collecting my own. Put all together, the dish ware pictures tell a kind of story, and the scenes are both summer and winter. I have a very old copy of the Dickens book and a few other items that I display with them. I use the dishes for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners and occasionally for other events. Most were thrifted over time, though a few completer pieces came from eBay and I paid a little more for them. Anyway, I’m glad to have found you and enjoyed your talk about not getting cluttered. I’m sometimes guilty, and have to have a good clearing out, but I’m better than I used to be! Looking forward to catching up with your videos!

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

I bet I can give you a declutter idea you have never thought about (fun challenge). Most people have some empty space ABOVE THE DOOR INSIDE A CLOSET. I added a double peg rack with 5” pegs. I put gift wrapping rolls up there as they are rarely used but I also put my hubby’s rifle up there (walking sticks, umbrellas, etc,etc).

I like the Currier & Ives prints. They pull in the blues from the books and pitcher.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

They are a classic! Thanks for your vote and thanks for watching! 😁

[@tammyroberts2460]

I have almost a complete set of the Currier and Ives blue dishes, with several accessory pieces.

#lifegoals 🤣 But, seriously, definitely on the hunt for more!! Thanks for watching and for commenting. 😊

Mrs. B here. Just found your channel. I love thrifting for my home and started to collect the Friendly Village too. I usually use blue and white transfer ware and wanted something for autumn.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Nice! It is the loveliest pattern. My grandma started me on a collection when I was 16. I use blue and white for spring and summer as well. Welcome to the Peaceful Home, Mrs. B! 😊

[@sandrahackney3219]

I think the single picture looks tbe best.😊

Just found your channel. I collect Ridgway’s Hayride iron stone in blue transfer ware. It is a very rare piece. Display it well chip and all. 💕💕💕

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Thank you so much for telling me the name of this pattern! The blue is gorgeous! It may have been a mistake telling me though… you know I will want more of it! 🤣 Thank you so much for watching and for commenting !!

I love jugs! I have a white one in a corner cabinet filled with other white pieces of china. I have a larger one with a nautical theme over my fireplace that just holds dried flowers. In my dining room, I have still another jug for dried flowers. I have a small one from Spode in which holds my make-up brushes. As for dishes, I have six sets (all but one incomplete) to go with different foods we serve. Villeroy & Boch (two patterns) for every day, Fiestaware for Mexican, delicate white with gold polka dots for lighter food, Coca Cola dishes for hotdogs and hamburgers, and formal china for holidays. Yes, space is an issue!

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Haha - I love it! Sounds like a wonderful collection you are actually using and thoroughly enjoying! Thanks so much for sharing that with me and thanks for watching . 😊

[@user-ym2et6rv8t]

I vote for the single picture. 😊

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Thanks, Judith!!

I love a clutter free space! It’s hard when you find so many things you love at the thrift store

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

It is hard!! There’s part of me that would love to be a minimalist, and I really do hate clutter, but I also really love vintage and antique items! 🤣

[@gailcurtis5156]

The new single art picture would go better with your cabinet. Loved your video.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Thanks, Gail! I appreciate your comment 😊

I have several pieces of the hay wagon Yorkshire including a big platter. I think the larger pic looks best.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Hi Sharen! Another viewer just told me about the name of that piece and after I looked it up, I knew I was going to want more of it. 🤣 I’ll bet the platter is gorgeous!! Thanks so much for watching and for commenting !!
