Hi, Kristen. This is a little thing, but I wanted to share it, nevertheless. If you light the wick on your new candles, and then immediately blow them out, the wick will be blackened and not look like you just put a new candle in the holder. This came to mind when you showed the new ivory candles in the wood and brass wall sconces. Like I said, a little thing, but kinda big impact for authenticity. Love your channel!

[@maryjomathews4749]

Leave the candle holders black. I thought they looked great when you were showing them with your dining room fixture.

[@KristenHoffman]

I agree, Mary Jo!

[@ginamaria2579]

Yes the wall sconces are beautiful in black. I’ve heard we should have a touch of black in every room 🤗💕. Really great finds ☺️

[@KristenHoffman]

I agree, Gina!

[@marlenestephenson1239]

Loved your haul, keep the candle holders black, have a blessed week.

[@yvonnestyhr8308]

Leave the candle holders black. It's a base color that works with any kind of decor/color theme. That huge crock is absolutely beautiful!🎉

[@anitabarker3125]

Loved the haul and my favorite were the vintage prints.Such a great collection ❤

[@sarahw.2600]

I love seeing children’s thrifted items, clothes, toys, books, art, items for decorating the nursery or older kids rooms, please give me all the inspo for my kiddos!

[@KristenHoffman]

You got it, Sarah!

[@robinnieto2703]

I love the wall sconces and the covered bridge picture, such nice found treasures. The baby cradle will be a very loved gift

[@robertajones6427]

Great haul! Love the big crock. I would leave the candle holders black for a while and see how you like them.

[@katelynshipman4575]

Rub and buff in antique gold for the candle holders! It will be a pretty worn brass!

[@teresabarkley2656]

I get so excited when I see your videos come up! ❤️ love the prints and I think you should keep candle holders black.

[@carolharner4472]

Love seeing what you find in your thrifting adventures. How sweet of Josh to give you an afternoon to yourself!

[@KristenHoffman]

He is the sweetest!

[@rootoo3624]

Use citristrip if you decide ti strip them! I have the same sconces in brass and love them so much.

[@pamnelson2377]

You're a breath of fresh air, Kristen--and my new favorite! I'm looking forward to following you. 🙂

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you for being here, Pam!

[@Know_Thy_Salt]

Thrift hauls are the best! 🙌🏽 You found some good ones this time. So the slanted baskets… not sure what they’re supposed to be used for, but I have them in our fridge for fruits. They’re easily accessible for my littlest. The candle holders look very sophisticated painted black. Sometimes black can be used to “anchor” a room or a space, and help break up some of the wood tones or brass. It adds a nice, unexpected contrast. Your home is so lovely, Kristen. You have such a detailed eye for adding these wonderful thrifted items into your decor in a way that looks effortless and inviting.

[@KristenHoffman]

I agree about black anchoring a space!

[@laurysteinke865]

That doll cradle is gorgeous! $8 is a steal. The picture IS precious! I love the children goin a fishin and the cute kitten. Great find Kristen!

[@sunflowerbrown5823]

The "angle baskets" are typically used to store and display produce but you could use them for literally any storage or display need such as pantry items, markers, yarn balls, cosmetics, entry way drop zone items...whatever you can imagine!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you!

[@HeartandHomeCrew]

I'm so glad you got the picture of the bridge! It's so beautiful!

[@candylong9795]

How sweet and thoughtful of Josh to bless you with a day to yourself doing what you love! I have used old non-working alarm clocks by setting them to a memorable time such as the birth times of your girls, or month and day of births and/ or wedding dates. Love the cradle for Ivy’s birthday. It would also make a great decor piece later for plants, magazines, afghans etc. Keep the videos coming, love them all! ❤️

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you so much, Candy!

[@christyhaagensen5554]

I love when you share the kids clothing thrift hauls! Prob because i have 4 kiddos.. and i love thrifting and we are on one income.

[@HeartandHomeCrew]

I have a larger version of the angled basket in my bathroom and I use it for rolled up towels! The size you found would be great for kids toys!

[@debbyyoung9454]

Leave the candle sconces black and hang them over the fireplace both on the right side (vertically) beside picture and find a wall pocket for the other side to put florals in. That would truly make that wall "pop". Love your hail

[@jacquelinemcmillan8092]

The crib with the wheels on it would have been lovely on a porch with plants in it 🤩

[@deborafranklin7469]

Hi Kristin. You found some really nice items. My favorite piece is the crockery😊

[@PamWarwick]

Little cribs are good for baby dolls. I’m glad your husband gave you an afternoon to go shop and not rush back. The crock you bought was a fantastic buy. They are usually expensive. I love the black candle holders. Keep them black.

[@KristenHoffman]

It was such a treat!

[@ginaclary8737]

I love the black candle holders so pretty. Everything you got is so beautiful!

[@kristinclemenson9422]

Sweet Rosie should star in a video showing her decore ideas and talking through what she looks for in thrift stores❤

[@KristenHoffman]

She loves it as much as I do!

[@nancydroge7682]

Thank you for another powerfully uplifting video, Kristin! My heart smiled when you held up the absolutely beautiful little piece that you mentioned Rosie wants for her corn husk doll collection! She has a ‘gifted eye’ as does her Mama! It’s a precious moment whenever I hear you compliment your daughters. The candlestick holders? ~ Love them! You know what’s best! I like them black… especially in your home! You are gifted in so many ways & one is the gift of making a house into a loving home in every way that matters; a home in which every square inch is a hug to the core! Thank you for what you are teaching! Blessing, you are! 💐

[@KristenHoffman]

What a sweet and encouraging comment. Thank you, Nancy!

[@designedservices]

I love the first little print you showed. The plant in it is a Jack in the pulpit or Indian turnip. I live in Minnesota and we have them all over the place here. It is an edible plant (the tubers) but only after it is dried. It is poisonous before that. It is spicy when dried and eaten like chips.

[@rebacarmack8335]

That little crib with the wheels would be great to put plants in

[@ritastutler1470]

Hi Kristen..loved it all but the those bunny and fix prints ❤❤❤..frame them for sure…the crock is a great find. Hope you have a great blessed week.

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Rita!

[@dawnmountaingirl643]

Love the mismatched frames for the prints, much more interesting than matched. Keep the holders black, in the decorator world, a little black in each space grounds it. Solid cradle is worth it at that price. Love your content, thank you for the updated “showcase”.

[@amandatrottier5587]

Kristen, I would keep the candleholders black because they match your chandelier. I like items that look like they are hand forged iron that is a very early American look. Also, that baby bed is precious! It looks like someone hand made that with love.

[@KristenHoffman]

I agree, Amanda!

[@shellypontz4155]

The covered bridge print is so beautiful! Ivy is going to love her birthday cradle. I did the same thing for my granddaughter and thrifted a little baby blanket, made a simple little padded covering for the bottom and a tiny pillow. I'm sure that was her favorite gift!

[@KristenHoffman]

How cute!

[@thecross2429]

I am so sorry beyond words of what happened to Reese. I am soo thankful u did not see it when it did, you were turned the other way. So happy u have a new pup that seems so sweet😔😢❤️hugs

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you so much!

[@theresacucinotti4679]

My favorite part of this is the plastic tag fob sticking out of the shirt you are wearing....LOVE that I am not the only one who does that LOL

[@KristenHoffman]

Lol, WHOOOPS!

[@sweetsoup1]

Love the prints! First print with the mouse has the plant in back ground, Jack In The Pulpit, my favorite!

[@KristenHoffman]

So cool!

[@larrygizinski9378]

Love the covered bridge picture, when I was younger I would go to places to find covered bridges. There are many in Pennsylvania. Barb

[@angiec6436]

Great haul!! So many amazing pieces!! I think the black candle holders look great as is!

[@shannonfleming-wood476]

loooooving those dark candle sconces over the fireplace

[@lisaw7478]

I use the angle basket for books or magazines but they can also be used for wash clothes and hand towels or produce

[@colleenbuechler6080]

Kristen... that haul share was so fun! Thank you. I'd keep the sconces black and they would be so lovely above your fireplace. God bless you and your beautiful family.

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Colleen!

[@scarlethenderson6510]

I like the black candle sconces they matter dining room light but if you decide to strip them sit them outside and spray them with Easy-Off oven cleaner for about an hour and then just rinse them off

[@1234dvarela]

So pleased you took the covered bridge home!

[@cindymarie2475]

Yes change the candle holders on mantel.

[@SB-et6dp]

Just found your channel. I love when people do kids thrift hauls thats where i get the majority of my kids clothes from.

[@KristenHoffman]

I'll keep that in mind!

[@nangel270]

I vote candle holders black and paint the frame on your floral picture black for a more cohesive look. Great haul.

[@elisaworkman9669]

Loving the black candleholders and those precious prints. ❤

[@margerylawler5443]

I always thought the angle baskets were for stairs. 🤷🏻‍♀️LOVE that crock. The sconces look nice black. And they look great above your fireplace. ❤️

[@barbarapeterson8030]

I LOVE THAT Picture and frame.

[@shellypontz4155]

The black candle sconces will look wonderful above the fireplace mantle!!

[@scarlethenderson6510]

I'm so glad you got that covered bridge picture. It's beautiful

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Scarlet!

[@jessicajgingerich9808]

I'm definitely here for the antiques. 💪🏼 we lost a baby recently and are trying to conceive. KZbin is like my escape.

[@KristenHoffman]

My heart goes out to you, Jessica. Praying for you in this moment right now.

[@sharonsomers5513]

I love everything you got. I would keep the candle holders black.

[@mspaco52]

If you do decide to take off the black paint on candle holders, try just putting them in simmering water until paint comes off. Did this with brass drawer pulls.

[@KristenHoffman]

Interesting!

[@sdeforest3390]

I like everything you found and they prices were good. The doll cradle is so cute! I know Ivy will be excited to get it.

[@KristenHoffman]

She will be so happy!

[@philandheatherfujimoto4331]

Lovely!! Such great finds. Hope you and your family are well. 💕

[@gayle2276]

Great price for the baby bed. It's wood and solid. Prints were very nice also.

[@christinaamezquita84]

Loved all that you purchased the frames are better when they don’t match. Good price on them and a pretty color. Leave the candle holders black looks pretty. And the print of the red bridge is awesome, it’s a statement piece. ❤

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Christina!

[@elainebenham4739]

I like the black candle holders

[@gracerajah8972]

I love the dolls bed and the massive painting. They are beautiful. Keep going. Thank you for sharing your finds ! 😊

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you for being here, Grace!

[@laurie4275]

LOVE the bridge print!!

[@robinalexander8429]

the salty crust on the bottom of the crock is probably brine from sauerkraut or pickles.... you might be able to clean it out....the picture is beautiful...I love that your girls are developing your love for thrift and 2nd hand...I have used colored pencils to :shade" pictures I have bought from thrift stores that were yellowed or faded, works like a charm, just use a light hand, you can always go over it if it isn;t dark enough for your taste,,,,

[@KristenHoffman]

Ooh. Good idea, Robin!

[@shirleydunn8050]

I love that covered bridge picture. ♥️

[@vickinoeske1154]

$14 for the crock is an unbelievably good price. I absolutely love the baby cradle, its gorgeous.❤

[@evelynsmith4313]

Couldn't wait to watch this part 2 of thrift haul you are so fun!! and cheerful and you just make my day! Thank you! ❤️

[@KristenHoffman]

I'm embarrassed that it got pushed out as far as it did!

[@kellyturner4571]

Another great haul! I like the candleholders black 🖤

[@florencelacy4190]

[@rosieroberts6738]

No way…$15 for that HUGE CROCK!!!😳😮 That’s so…AWESOME!!! You found a lot…of FUN items!!! Thank you for sharing!!!❤😊😄😁🥰

[@KristenHoffman]

It was a steal, Rosie!

[@lynnbontrager2069]

I laughed when you said you didn’t know how to use the oil lamp. It’s called you tube girl😅. LOL

[@pamelawolfe3844]

Also, I love the bridge painting.

[@eunicenield9631]

You did good on that haul. Everything is great.

[@heathereton5582]

I used to collect Boyd’s bears in the 90’s. Wish I’d kept them. I also love Victorian photos. I definitely would have picked up that frame with those photos.

[@carolfinn4027]

Love, love the covered bridge painting. So glad you brought it home. And those sweet animal prints are sooo cute! I don't mind seeing kids clothes. You always find cute ones. That was fun.

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Carol!

[@Jane-dg3rr]

I really like the candle holders black 🇬🇧🇺🇸🌸🌸

[@jeaniemarkel360]

I love your videos -- and all of your amazing finds!!!

[@brookidy]

Love your style! And thrifting videos. Have you done a video on how you decorate? How you go about figuring out where/how to put things up on walls? Or any other decorating tips. You have a knack for it and I’m wanting to make my home more that style. Would love some help!

[@florvilardo4946]

i like the black candle holders better! regards from argentina

[@kelseyclausen]

This Mama loves the kids clothes hauls😊! The vintage style you dress your girls in is beautiful!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you so much, Eunyce!

[@lisafriend5535]

Leave the candleholders black. Love the giant barn picture.

[@lindahill7059]

The crocks that I have seen in that size have been $80. But the pictures . . . I so agree that $14.99 is ridiculous.

[@KristenHoffman]

For a thrift store, totally!

[@drbbass]

Kristen, please take care of yourself. Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family. Love seeing your videos and so enjoy hearing your laugh! Diane

[@KristenHoffman]

Happy holidays!

[@sweetmagnolias1698]

Such great finds! I have a covered bridge print in my sons room! It’s a good bit smaller and a little bit brighter colors. I love it!

[@vintagecafe4540]

the oil painting is nice! 15 bucks is still reasonable!

[@teresataylor8267]

I would leave the candle holders black and paint those 3 pictures frames black in color and put them together as a vignette.

[@KristenHoffman]

Nice!

[@janetlaplaca1060]

The little crib could hold blankets or quilts, maybe in the girls room!

[@KristenHoffman]

What a sweet idea, Janet!

[@govictoria-cd7kx]

I like the candle sconces dark.

[@pamelawolfe3844]

Leave the candle holders black. Love them.

[@KristenHoffman]

I agree, Pamela!

[@helenwoodcock5140]

[@KristenHoffman]

Good idea, Helen!

[@wideawake6501]

[@gloriaprimeau7318]

I like what ever you find ,kid adult,decor
