A WEEKEND SHOPPING GOODWILL! + PNW Vintage Shopping + New Design Studio Updated Tour!

[@melindaevans7717]

I just started watching your videos and love them! After living on this earth for 55 years I am just now realizing "my" design style. I love pottery and all things wood. Thanks for helping me realize who I really am. 🙂

[@annahastholm]

I just LOVE your videos! In my opinion the other thrifters buy just to make money, you find treasures and works of art and you save and enlighten them! I adore how you treat all the items with respect and delicacy and you dont push and pull them around

[@_Rhon_]

That stump with the drawer and “hidden” pocket is just beyond ♥️ score!

[@normaalvarez4155]

Yesss! Afternoon coffee, a blanket, and a Laura video. A great way to start the week. 😊

[@AnneVanRabenswaay]

Agree !

[@curtischildress9580]

Your videos never fail to impress! You offer wonderful decor ideas! It's magical how your design themes can travel around the varied spectrum of home interior choices. You're assisting us while we slowly bring together different furniture styles & trends into a single home. After close to 7 years being content enough & alone after my partner's sudden trip into Eternity there has come along a blessing of new friendship filled with fun times which we're both seriously exploring together. We really enjoy watching your channel. The happiness we see in your all's thrifting, home refinishing, trips, & spirits kind of reflects how we can let our new friendship become more. We also never knew that some of our furniture pieces & long collected "what-nots" were actually something! Thank you! We look forward to watching future videos!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Hope you’re having a great New Year Curtis! ❤️ Always so happy to see your kind and thoughtful comments!

[@suzannebrunetti3306]

I just love that driftwood elephant. I have never seen one like it. (Oh, gosh, I would love to find one fashioned as a lion. That would be something!) My grandmother use to collect driftwood up in the Humboldt Bay area and decorate with it. Mainly, she used it to fashion planters and sculpture pieces in her garden. When my sister and I would visit in the summer she would drag us around with her collecting it. Of course, we had no appreciation for it back then; however, now I just love it and can't see a piece of it laying on a beach without thinking of her .

[@Eclectista]

Hi Laura, I discovered your videos a couple of months ago, and admire your eye and enterprise. You have such a joyful way of presenting, it's clear you love what you do. Thanks to you, I had the great est find the other day. I went to my local Goodwill, and there was a new cart full, waiting to be put on the shelves. They said I could go through it, and in the bottom of one of the bins, under a couple other nice pottery items...was a Bitossi Swan Bowl in Rimini Blue!!! I silently screamed to myself with excitement. Thank you for helping us grow in knowledge. Being a new reseller on eBay, I soak up all the knowledge I can get! I hope to save up to join you on one of your trips soon. 💜

[@catherinenelson4162]

Laura, as a migraine person, I can tell you that lights, especially LCD and florescent do cause headaches for a good number of people. My suggestion? When going into stores, we're a hat that has a brim. For work at a desk, or reading in bed have your personal light behind you. I use on with a metal lampshade.

[@modareciclada]

My dear Laura, you are my favorite inspiration when I go thrifting. I can go shopping with you in mind all year long. I just love your style and your unique taste for vintage. Keep it on girl. You rock!!!

[@d.frisco7283]

I love how the two cactus lamps look together on the table.

[@LindaAKeller]

Love that tall abstract sculpture. It's the sort of thing you can look at multiple times from so many angles, drawn in by its overall form, individual shapes, or light playing in and around the surfaces. Love it.

[@elainejensen4522]

I just adore the way you describe all your findings & why you choose them, I can sit & watch you for hrs😮you give me such happiness & I can’t wait to try & make over my room, I just don’t know how to begin since I truly love vintage, ocean,forests,& rustic, etc…..keeping on your great adventures ❤🎉

[@bethb7965]

OMG, I absolutely love that mirror just like it is!!I was screaming at the screen when you said you were going to paint it a cream color. It would look great in my bedroom. Love the display with the elephant, the zebra and the other animals. My favorite display of that candle holder was the southwest one and I love that painting with it!!!

[@natvtxn1213]

I used to go to Goodwill a lot and find great treasures, but now they're always picked clean (no matter what day or time I go) and extremely overpriced. I thought today when I went that I might as well go to Target and buy a new item for the same price. Very frustrating.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Give estate sales or flea markets a try! I find most of my best finds at the best prices estate sales 😁❤️

[@donnamalone9018]

Our Goodwills are not so great but we have lots of other thrift stores like St. Vincent DePaul and a huge Viet Nam Vets Store. We have a store in my area that supports local dog rescue.

[@geminigem599]

[@lindalamb7512]

Love your car. What model is this!?

[@Clovergirl7934]

I absolutely! They are getting ridiculous with their pricing. You can often do just as well at Marshall’s. I also wonder where much of the money actually goes 😏

[@totallytania7978]

Your style is so calming.

[@evelynbarris6875]

I used to go thrifting and antique shopping but for me for my home never to resell. I miss doing my favorite things due to lack of funds, lack of space and lack of the ability to walk around. I have osteoarthritis of the knees and it impedes me from walking. I use a walker, a cane and a mobile chair to get around but I notice that I wouldn’t be able to get around in an antique shop or small thrift store with my chair. I’ve tried thrifting online but the prices are higher than at most actual thrift stores. So I live vicariously watching you and other KZbin thrifters shop. There is one of my favorite among all of you who thrifts for her home as well. And she shows how she styles her home with her haul as you do. You’re one among all of my favorite thrifters. I subscribed to all of my favs. Thank you so much for sharing your joy. I have so many favorite items it’s hard to pick one. If I had to pick one I love the wooden box you showed in your last segment and all things wooden the elephant

[@Milkmaid007]

I CAN’T wait for the gallery wall episode!!

[@marleew6455]

Your finds are just adorable. But I REALLY love the vintage clothing you found. Each piece is a little unique, but is definitely your darling personality!!

[@greenbamboo4264]

Yay! I love a good thrift video with Laura.

[@mamapajama1273]

Laura, it’s so nice to see you back after the holidays! Looking forward to your sister’s bedroom makeover. You are one busy girl!! Your videos have inspired my Chapter 2…and combining art and vintage for a local booth. Thanks for sharing your continual joy and thrifting adventures with the rest of us! Always a fun respite at the end of the day!😘

[@cathyridley3005]

Looks great! I would put your desk in the middle of the room on a bit of a diagonal towards entrance door and coffee station at the end of the room. The diagonal will help make room seem less boxy ,creating rooms within a room. 😊

[@keshmir12]

Another wonderful Thrift video and gosh that wallpaper and the pair of lion head wooden chairs are just amazing! I want!

[@avischenoweth]

I learn something new every time I watch you.

[@tessiebrazeau3194]

I know you said you were painting the mirror in cream but it would also look good in that orange if you are putting it above the two chairs that have pillows with orange tassels on them. It would pull the orange up. Love watching your styling of everything. Thank you for the videos.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I might consider this! Thanks for pointing this out 😁

[@rhondaborders3452]

I like that idea too.

[@beckyhennesy6245]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@leithsapitan1428]

Bob Mackie is truly wearable art! Gorgeous.

[@amyweaver7413]

Your new rug is amazing! I can’t wait to see your living room makeover. And your sister’s bedroom makeover. Loved your shop along today as well!

[@jackeeschwartz7647]

I loved everything you got! (and a few things you left behind). I enjoy your videos so much. Thanks for sharing.

Your studio space is wondrous. I can’t wait to see the final design. You are so talented. ❤️✨

[@arlenekeith6235]

I love seeing how you stage things. Gives me ideas for my treasures.

[@sunnyidaho3135]

Natural wood (stained to your desired tone) would be great as trim in your office! Plus, it ties in with your esthetic. Loved the video!

[@camillethompson6686]

Just a thought if you like that bar top. You could always switch out the tabletop part for another table top that's wider if you found something at another thrift shop. I would never rule that out

[@lorrainemadden869]

My favorite piece is the cast iron Buddhist figurine. Love him! I love your style. Mine is very similar. Would love to go to Italy with you, just can't right now. Enjoy every minute!

[@karmanjones8346]

Ow those chairs, I LOVED those!!!!! 😳

[@lindafaierson6030]

Hi Laura. What a nice haul you and hubby found. Your shop is really looking so chic and interesting. You make items look so cohesive together. Thanks for taking us along.

[@MillQElectronics]

The African birds look like Guinea Fowl. Nice!

Love your videos Laura! The little Japanese statue is of an o-jizo-san, or Jizo for short😊🎶

I liked option 1 - modern, but could do option 2 as well. My favorite thing on todays show was the ENORMOUS GORGEOUS TURQUOISE RING you were rockin’ on your right hand. Grrl that needs to be on next months sale!! 🤪 love the new studio. It’s coming along nice. All the 💕

[@415oakland]

I love the buddhist paperweight!

[@joanbirdsell3678]

two possibilities for the flourescent lights - 1) swap out the light bulbs with those softer in color - when I did this at my office I think the lights were called kitchen lights. 2) drape some fabric over the ceiling - some dowels might make this easier.

[@Becko78]

I recently found your channel, I love it. I may have over the past month binge watched all your videos! I can't wait to watch the makeover video of your sisters bedroom! The painted brass candle holder you didn't buy, well I found one at my thrift store for $4.99. it doesn't hold a candle and had a base to stand on , it has several of the looped branches coming out each side. It looks like a glorious brass flame.

[@gggrandmotherannonetsy423]

Love the video. My favorite thing was the elephant. But I was thinking you could use your clock colledction for a Time Zone wall. Especially with all of your trips coming up; would be nice to be aware of the time zones for upcoming trips.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

That’s such a fun idea! 🕰

[@itsabughunt6310]

I've been binging your videos! I'm so inspired I am going thrifting this weekend!

I just followed your channel. I love the way you do your stories because you make it so fun thats why I always look forward to watch you and your husband.

[@elizabethmoore2581]

I grew up in Africa and those birds on your wall hanging are Guinea Fowl. I saw them in Zimbabwe when I was at school there. Like the pheasants here in England, Guinea Fowl are lovely to look at and very stupid on roads. I love watching your videos!

[@lindaebauer5485]

Elizabeth, I just replied to another comment that I thought they were Guinea hens. I had one show up on my porch in Cincinnati a few months back. Someone obviously had it as a pet, but I couldn't find the owner. After 3 mths I gave it to someone who raised chickens before it got super cold. She fit right in with the flock!

[@beachcitiesthrifting777]

Such a fun video...thanks for sharing. That wooden box is really cool!

[@denverdubois5835]

OMG you walked right by a red bakelite handled egg beater! I haven't seen one of those in a thrift for over a decade.....they used to sell really well for a wide range of prices when I had a vintage shop (brick and mortar.) I suspect you and I know different periods of vintage! It would be SO fun to shop with you. ;-) I love shopping with friends who obsess about different stuff than I do! I thought the cast iron candleholder looked best in the rustic setting, but it was close. It really looked good in all the options. Love your design sense and the way you group objects! You have a great eye.

[@denverdubois5835]

Oh, I think my fave thing you got was the live edge wooden candleholder. Really unusual and pretty.

[@MsKatillac]

I loved LOVED the driftwood elephant! Such an amazing find! I also like the cactus lamp and the one you already had in your living room. I have a small handmade table with cactus legs.

[@Ericks67]

Your Lion tapestry reminds me of Bob Ross. 😁 I would call it that if it was mine.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Haha cute! It’s by the artist Don Freedman. I lovvvve it so much 🦁

[@rachel.lee1979]

Hi. Could you add an bigger table top to the bar table ? Could be a great DIY project.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I’d worry about the weight and tipping. Typically a base is made for the top size but it still could be done! I’m holding out for a larger more vintage looking one 😆🙌

[@camillethompson6686]

That painted red pot was made by a company called ramsbottom or ramsburg one of those. They are cold painted that's why the paint looks like that. They are actually cookie jars

[@friederikeclaussen6988]

Hi Laura, the birds painted on cloth are from Northern Ivory Coast by a people named Senufo and the art form is called Korhogo cloth after the main city of production. I once visited Korhogo and saw how these cloths are still painted by hand.

[@lindaebauer5485]

Frederike, do you think they could be Guinea hens? I recently had one show up on my porch in Cincinnati! I learned that it was a hen native to Africa. They are different colors and have spots and some have stripes.

[@brendaandalistairhunter9593]

​@@lindaebauer5485 they do look like guinea fowl which we see quite often in South Africa. I am sure that they are not only in SA.

[@anamarques9446]

Love your videos when you're shopping and how you style.

[@wendymorrison5803]

Drape the office ceiling with cloth to diffuse the fluorescent. It will also fall into the morrocan feel.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Lovvvve this idea! 🤩

[@brendasoler4759]

Your minimalist wooden clocks may very well be Junior Achievement projects from back in the day. I bought one around 1978 from a work colleague who was active in JA.

The floral painted stoneware piece that you mentioned you had a blue one of is a Ransbottom piece. Many of these crocks were cookie jars that had their lids broken. They make vibrant planters. Great video, Laura.
